“Just amazing. I don't know how to put in words how phenomenal this tour was. The tour guide BG had a great sense of humor and took us to a dark area to see the lights at its best. The night my family and I went was a great night to see the beauty of the lights. BG took videos and pictures of everyone with his professional camera and the lights behind you radiate. He sends the drive in the morning after the tour. Also blankets were available along with hot cocoa (spiked or not spike ;)) and cinnamon rolls. It was a beautiful night and definitely one of the…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 1,921 reviews · 3 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $63

Review of Reykjavik’s Northern Lights night tour, with coach transport, guide tips, repeat trips, pickup details, value, and key drawbacks.

“Yes as other have stated I also was never picked up for my tour I arrived a half hour early and a whole extra hour after just in case as the ENTIRE reason I visited Iceland was to see the northern lights and it never happened. Gray Line has yet to respond to my emails, calls and request for a refund. No communication was given at all. I went against my better judgement because I took a tour in the day with Gray Line and it went fine, the host was pushing the northern lights tour later that day so I booked it because of that reason and the Aurora…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,782 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $76

Review of Reykjavik’s Northern Lights Bus Tour, with Thingvellir, hot chocolate, guide quality, group size, value, and rebooking advice.

“The trip was well organised and the tour guide and driver did their very best to find the Northern Lights on a night with intermittent cloud but solar activity was low so the lights did not put in an appearance which was apparently the case nearly all week. We were lucky to catch a glimpse on the way back from another tour. But the trip was well organised and they tried their best and we learned a lot about the Northen Lights and the KP index. The trip would have been very good had the Northern Lights put in an appearance.”

“low level red lighting would help on the lower deck as I couldn't see much down there but I also appreciate the need to have it dark for the purposes of the trip. the guide and other staff were great, they helped to take photos of me and my son when the aurora showed up and kept everyones spirits high as it wasnt till the way back thatchers saw them and we thought we might not get the chance.”

Review of Reykjavik’s Northern Lights bus tour: price, pickup, guides, weather policy, crowds, comfort, and tips for seeing the aurora.

“Nice tour guide and good driver. However, it was cancelled once and nothing happened on second try. They don't go driving until they find it with us warm. We go one spot and stand outside cold. Why would I come all the way back to Iceland to try this again? Way overcrowded too. Huge regret and sticking to Finland”

Review of Icelandia’s Reykjavik Northern Lights tour, with guide tips, pricing, timing, free rebooking, transport, and honest drawbacks.

“Our tour was amazing ! Our tour guide and driver were so lovely and amazing ! our bus had a bit of an accident which meant we needed another bus to pick us up. but both Kelli and JP were amazing. They put out a bonfire for us, gave us hot chocolate and we stood around the fire listening to songs while watching the northern lights. It was an amazing experience with such lovely people. The northern lights were incredibly beautiful.”
