Fantastic Tour - Just came back from my Northern Lights Tour with Diego & Greco and they did a FABULOUS job! I was concerned we wouldn't see any but they stopped at several different places and we saw them each time. They also took great pictures of us and sent them right away. They had great attitudes and were patient and friendly. Highly recommend!

I've been coming to Iceland for 12+ years - and I'd never seen the Northern Lights until I took this tour! - I've been coming to Iceland for 12+ years - and I'd never seen the Northern Lights until I took this tour! I've been married to an Icelander, and we live abroad but come over 1-2 times a year. I've been here many times, but never seen the aurora, despite trying and being here at times when activity was great and the weather fantastic. Still: didn't happen. So believe me when I say I was sceptical this would break the trend. And yet, having such a knowledgeable and friendly guide made all the difference. He knew exactly when to look where, had a couple of tricks up his sleeve (and almost more importantly: hot drinks and snacks to keep us out in the freezing January cold). And with his help, on a less than perfect day, I finally saw them! An amazing experience, and one I'm very grateful to Gestur and his team for.

Magically dancing Northern Lights - With our professional and extremely knowledgeable guide Balli we were on an amazing search for the Northern Lights. He found the perfect spot: a starry night over Reykjavik with the Northern Lights dancing magically for us. Thank you!

I would thoroughly... - I would thoroughly recommend this trip!! We had an experienced guide who took us out to 2 locations to see the Northern lights which we did! Hot drinks and pastries were provided and we also had plenty of photos taken which were shared via a link the next day. Other travellers had their tours cancelled the same day due to low probability of seeing the lights so we were so glad we opted for this specific trip!

A Night Under the Dancing Lights - Nothing could have prepared me for the moment the Northern Lights appeared. The sky turned into a living painting of greens and purples, and I just stood there, completely mesmerized. Jonas, our guide, made sure we had the best experience driving us to the perfect spot, keeping us warm with hot chocolate, and sharing stories that made the night even more magical. If you’re in Iceland, don’t miss this!
