Winter in Iceland is famous for it's Aurora Borealis, better known as the Northern lights. Embark on a night tour to hunt for the Northern Lights and enjoy magical moments in the vast natural landscapes of Iceland. From Reykjavik we will be hunting the Northern Lights in the west of Iceland, passing Borgarnes town. But we monitor the weather closely and ensure that we go to the best places where you are more likely to see the Northern Lights.
We at Mercury are trying to do any single tour like this as a private. But sometimes weather making us mad so on that way we need to share previous travelers with current. Max 8 person in wan if that happens.

5.00Wow wow wow! From the first day I spoke to Andres I knew we would have an amazing time. I proposed under the northern lights and the communication with Andres was impeccable from start to finish. He was prompt and alerted me to change days as soon as he knew the forecast. He has sound knowledge of how to look for the lights and we were lucky to get an amazing view. He also took amazing pictures of the special moment. Andres was polite, welcoming and transparent throughout. I recommend his services!

5.00Andres was amazing from start to finish. He planned everything carefully before the day and prepared a few options depending on the conditions, which made us feel very well looked after. This tour was especially meaningful for me because I was planning a proposal to my girlfriend. Andres was incredibly helpful and thoughtful throughout the whole experience. We went to the lighthouse, and he made sure we had the best chance to see the Aurora, and we did! It made the moment even more special and unforgettable. I really appreciate how supportive, professional, and kind he was. I highly recommend booking a private tour with him, especially if you are planning a special surprise or important moment.

5.00This was truly a fantastic Northern Lights night tour! Of course, seeing the aurora depends on the weather, but our guide was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the whole experience. My partner proposed to me during the trip, which made it even more unforgettable. I have to say, the guide is also an amazing photographer, thanks to him, we have beautiful photos to remember this special moment. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect, we were still lucky enough to see the aurora. The proposal was such a wonderful surprise! Next time, I’ll definitely bring my parents, and I will absolutely choose him again and again. Highly recommended!100out of 100

5.00We booked Andres after reading some great reviews and wanting a small private tour to avoid a large bus and lots of waiting around. Tonight we were very lucky with the weather, Andres let us know we could start the tour earlier to catch some good lights so we headed out to a dark spot and we were not disappointed. Some amazing lights, we took some great pics and Andres kindly took some of us. We also stopped at a service station for snacks/coffee/bathroom break before continuing our search to some other locations, sometimes leaving the car and sometimes staying in the warm at windy areas. We had a great experience with Mercury Grail and I would highly recommend to anyone 👌 👍🏻
