Driver Determination Got Us Results - We did this tour with Bjarni and would def recommend to any future aurora hunters. It was our first night in Iceland and we decided to do the trip in case we needed to reschedule for a later night. We saw many other tours cancelled so didn’t hold much hope when we saw the communication come through. To our delight, it said the tour was ON.
Pick up was on time, bus extremely comfortable and the driver was sure to call all names and check off his list before departing any stop. We were brought out to our first location, a short journey from the city. The lights were there, but faint. From here we went to our second location which seemed worse. Bjarni assured us we needed to be patient. We stood around for a while but as it was our first night there after a long day of travel I was tired so went back to the bus for a nap. From what I could tell many others did the same. We were packing up to leave, defeated, shortly after midnight when Bjarni shouted for us all to get off as the lights finally showed. Many of us had been on the bus over an hour at this point and would have missed our chance had it not been for our determined driver!

Wow! What an Amazing Tour! - Wow! What a once in a lifetime experience! We originally were supposed to do this tour as part of our Golden Circle tour but it got cancelled due to bad weather. With only 2 nights left we really wanted to see the Northern Lights and decided to try and reschedule for tonight and hoped for good weather. Rescheduling was very easy and the company helped answer all my questions and figure out the new tickets. The bus came on time and called out our names which was very helpful as there were many buses waiting at our stop. On the tour we got very lucky and were able to see the lights in two different spots! It was a little cloudy but we our tour guide Palli was able to drive around and find some good spots for our group. The tour guides are VERY knowledgeable and seriously know how to find the best spots and take the best pictures. We even got our pics taken by Pelli and his professional camera multiple times and we look forward to getting them! They also provided hot chocolate and cookies at the last spot. What an amazing experience we are so happy with this tour and how it turned out!

nature at it's best - The lights are highly dependent on weather so the nice thing about this company is if the lights aren't visible one night you can go on another trip.
Snacks were good.
Guides were also helpful and were happy to help with photos.
The lights themselves are amazing to watch. Come with plenty of memory on your camera. And layers.

Great Northern Lights!❤️ - Awesome view of the sky tonight! Photos were wonderful, Radek took great shots and as many as wanted. Hot cocoa lovely. Very cold so dress really warm, don’t skimp and bring gloves that will work to take photos so you don’t have to remove and consider hand warmers

Aurora is unforgettable! - Our trip was unforgettable!! We saw Aurora dance in the sky, shine intensely and excite everyone on the Tour! Radek, our guide, was extremely agile in taking us to the best place to see the Aurora, and ensuring a memorable tour. I highly recommend the Arctic tour!

Amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience! - Palli was hilarious and positive throughout, even when we didn’t find anything for the first few hours. Then at the very end we saw the sky light up green and pink with rapidly moving, beautiful shapes!

Great experience viewing the Northern Lights - We had a great time! Our tour guide Palli was very kind and persistent with tracking the lights — we had given up on seeing them and last minute, he spotted a beautiful dancing aurora that we got to watch and take pictures with. Would absolutely recommend!

Nice experience - At first I thought I wouldn't have the chance to see, but then the guide was very patient and if I knew we would see the show, and I loved it.

No photos uploaded tour taken 11.2.25 - So upset and disappointed. We took our tour on 11.2.25 and had pictures taken under the northern lights by our tour guide. No pictures have been uploaded as promised. I have emailed and was told they are on the Google drive and they are not. Since then no one has replied to my messages. It is so upsetting as we saved up for this trip and spent ages picking a company for the northern lights. This company promised photographs which were included in the price of the tour and we have no received those photos. Bitterly disappointed and upset. Where are our photos?
