“We went out with Mattia and August on a cloudy night. Mattia was really passionate about finding the Northern Lights - and this passion combined with experience and knowledge led to us seeing beautiful lights after a long drive and some waiting time. August was a great driver. The tour was fantastic and I will cherish these moments forever!”

“We got really lucky and don’t trust the forecast as they do drive for hours to try and find the northern lights. Very successful (see pics) and great experience, only suggestion for our time of year is to bring extra gloves / socks and hand warmers as it was numbing cold if taking photos for too long. The berry tea is also amazing in the region, which we had to warm us up.”

“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.”

“I'm not very good at English, but the guide Mr.Fedelico explained it to me very kindly and in an easy-to-understand way, and the conversation was fun. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the aurora, but I really enjoyed having a barbecue in the magnificent nature reminiscent of the movie Frozen. Luckily, I was able to see a clear shooting star. Thanks to the guides and participants!”

Review of Tromsø’s Northern Lights minibus tour with campfire, thermal gear, free photos, hot drinks, and trips toward Finland.

“Northern Lights were amazing — and they were absolutely right! Our tour guide, Christian, went above and beyond and was even willing to drive all the way to Finland to make sure we saw the Northern Lights. The company made a huge effort to find clear skies, and it really paid off — we saw them and it was incredible. We also toasted marshmallows and had hot dogs, which made the whole experience even more special and cosy. The staff were lovely, friendly, and genuinely passionate about giving us the best possible experience. Highly recommend!”
