First night, received email at 11:39 am that it is canceled due to weather, when on the website it stated no decision will be made until 5pm. Meanwhile, so many posted pictures with beautiful sky full of lights. no biggie, rebooked for the next night; the weather is shittier than the day before but somehow it was still on.

Reykjavik northern lights bus tour with hot chocolate, round-trip pickup, and multiple aurora stop attempts near Thingvellir, 4 hours.

“I did not see the northern lights on this tour, but ironically, this was still one of the best highlights of my trip! I rented a car and was able to do a lot of sightseeing on my own, but booking this tour gave me a peace of mind knowing that if I had any chance of seeing the lights, it's with these guys! Eugene and Darren were amazing. The bus was very cozy and the hot chocolate was delicious. I learned so many cool things about Iceland and the country's history. Darren is the best tour guide! You won't be disappointed!”

We went out the second time at the end of our visit and we were gifted with several appearances! We had different drivers and went to two different locations. The drivers were great and the guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They not only taught about the lights during the trip out, they were able to assist with various cameras to ensure that everyone got the best pictures possible. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

We understand theres no guarantee but to lie and say it was strong lights when there wasn’t - is a joke!”

“We had the most incredible Northern Lights tour. Our guide was absolutely brilliant and went above and beyond to give us the best possible experience.

After seeing faint lights around 11pm, he kept informing us that they were coming out really bright and then fading so he was sure they were trying to get brighter. We stayed out passed 1am (which he didn’t need to do as we did faintly see them…”
