“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.

“Disappointing and not just because we saw no northern lights. The boat we were placed in was very small and cramped. Nothing like what was described to us. Very little explanation at the beginning, just everyone struggling to put on the weather-proof suits on a shaky boat with little space to move. The toilet seat even had tape on the seat. The promised hot chocolate/bar/cafe advertised was simply a tiny dark kitchen in the back with nobody attending it, no explanation as to whether or not we had to pay (there was a cash register), with chocolate bars, doritoes and Swiss mix powder choco and a hot water kettle, no…”

“Most memorable was that my hand almost froze off trying to get pics of the lights. Cold temps and 25 mph winds made the experience difficult, but I did get a few pics in. So, mission accomplished.”

“Obviously northern lights are unpredictable but all the information was saying very low chance of seeing them and it was extremely cloudy! The trip should have been cancelled like the other guests in our hotels had been. Paid a good amount of money to drive around in the dark. Guide was lovely but not sure tour guide is his forte.”

“What an amazing experience! Our guide Karol was fantastic, he was just as excited as we were to find Aurora activity and helped us have such an incredible experience. We loved that the tour included the Aurora center to learn more about the phenomenon before seeing it ourselves. We were prepared to see little or no activity but were treated to a show that was truly beautiful beyond words. Truly can’t describe how fantastic it was to see! So glad we booked this tour!! Thanks for an amazing night!”

“The tour was fantastic. We drove not far from Reykjavík but it was the most stunning scenery. I wouldn't have cared if we hadn't seen the lights because we got to be driven up through the mountains and look out over the lakes in the moonlight. It was fantastic. Another tour we did took us north and to only non-picturesque spots which was a shame considering how low the chances are - it seems wise to take people somewhere they can enjoy regardless. But this tour - we saw the lights too and the guide was helpful and patient. He drove us to a few different spots before he spotted…”
