Not recommendable - This is a mass-tourist offer. Nothing bad with that, but I mention this just that you know what to expect. While the price first seems affordable you won’t get any value from it. The condition of the vehicle is good and theoretically you can do retries, but we definitely won’t. The tour started a bit strange, where I was picked up over half an hour later then agreed. My sister, who was picked up before me at a different location, had to make sure they won’t forget me. Overall, they seem to have trouble with organizing. However, to be fair, some single-braincell tourist failed to show up at the pre-agreed right time and right location. So, no negative points for that since some type of customers definitely contributed to the chaos. Our tour guide didn’t seem experienced. According to the ticket there are some amenities like hot coco, but you specifically have to ask for it. There was no mention of it. There was generally not much communication. You’ll also have to ask them to put on the heater when you wait in the car. There was no presentation at all resp. no explanation how the northern lights work etc. I’m ok with this since I’m familiar with the topic, but it surprised me. This all could be due to the inexperience of the tour guide, but still, you’ll pay for service you won’t get or not get without specifically asking for it. All in all, I would still have given 2 stars. However,… Airports have a fancy technical gimmick called floodlights because our trusty pilots needs to see the runway all the way up in the sky, so we won’t all end up as a blood smear during the landing process. Don’t get me wrong. This is a great invention. I like living. But if you want to see the northern lights, it is probably not a good idea to have something that bright close to you. We didn’t stop right at the airport but close enough so we could count the single floodlights. The clouds in the sky were reflecting it i.e. there wasn’t really darkness. You could barely see the stars (only the constellations with the bright ones) and certainly not the milky way. At some point (when people got frustrated and crawled back into the car) northern lights were reported. Of course, only on camera and not at all by bare eyes. Even on the camera it was super faint. To the point that we had to discuss if these are actually northern lights or just an oddly coloured smear of clouds. I’m not in Iceland to look at a subpar picture where the existence of an aurora could or is disputable. Please understand. I don’t expect the aurora to show up and also not that the tour guide controls the weather. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes now, but come on… if you charge people you should at least give it a genuine try. I would rather recommend you to book a private tour with some competent and honest tour guide. Or if you have good with preparation and planning you can even try it yourself. Use and app that aggregates all the relevant data points (e.g. Polarlicht App) and familiarize yourself with its usage (that is not straight forward). Find a spot with low light pollution and there you go. We managed to do it by ourself and saw it with bare eyes. However, attention if you do it by yourself. Stay close to civilization i.e. don’t wander off into the wilderness unless you REALLY know what you are doing. I’m not joking. People die and you can die there too in February. The weather can turn around quickly. So, stay close to cavillation i.e. a road with light and some houses around (a little light pollution doesn’t hurt that much).
