1.Northern Lights Yacht Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 1,253 reviews · 2 hours · from $93Our pick

See Reykjavík’s northern lights from a comfortable yacht with three viewing decks, a bar, warm blankets, and flexible rebooking.

“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.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 23 reviews · from $158

Review of Tromsø’s Northern Lights catamaran cruise, with practical advice on timing, boat comfort, weather risks, pricing, and the Aurora guarantee.

“it was a lovely way to spend an evening and even though we didnt see the lights it was still enjoyable. The lady on the microphone needs to get some brevity training. Her information was fine, but so highly repeated and late at night I think most would have enjoyed more silence, rather than repeated information. All staff were lovely to interact with.”
