Good experience, no northern lights

My wife and I enjoyed our trip with Magic Iceland. Our guide and driver did a good job trying to put us in a good position to see the northern lights. Unfortunately the evening was so overcast that no lights were visible. We went the week between Christmas and New Years and the weather was overcast most of the week. We went to two locations and the conditions did not improve, so we headed back to town. Our guide was helpful in sharing about Iceland. We chose Magic Iceland because the tour was so well priced as compared to the other tours going out that night. The whole sky was cloudy so I expect that no matter how much we would have paid, the result would have been the same. We appreciated the hot chocolate. We did not try the special surprise of the fermented shark, but some did.
Amazing!

Our tour was postponed to the second night due to weather, so it worked out perfectly. Magic Iceland Travel is well organized and great to work with. Having the smooth vibes of guide/host Daniel, the Aurora Whisperer and the amazing navigation of Kuba, our driver/chauffeur, made the travel and information sessions completely worth the adventure. Being patient, then watching the northern lights dance across the sky was better than we could have imagined! Our family will never forget Daniel, Kuba, or the Aurora Borealis!
Northern lights tour was awesome and we are very satisfied.

The tour was awesome and the tour guide Ms Cheryl was very friendly and professional. We managed to see the northern lights and took lots of photos. Not to forget there is hot chocolate drink to make us feel warmer while patiently waiting in the cold for the northern lights.
