Amazing Northern Lights tour! - Amazing Northern Lights tour! Everything was excellent from beginning to end. The 4x4 vehicle was very comfortable, and choosing this tour was the best decision. Our guide Lorenzo was fantastic — very kind and knowledgeable. He explained everything about the auroras in both Spanish and English, and took us to beautiful locations. Even with difficult conditions, he made sure we could see the Northern Lights 🙏✨ The photos were amazing 🤩 Thank you for an unforgettable night. My mom and I were truly happy with this experience. Highly recommended!

Great night trip - Eduardo’s knowledge ensured that we found the northern lights. The event was swapped due to previous bad weather, but all worked out perfectly.

Northern Lights Tour - Tomas was phenomenal! Wealth of knowledge and engaging. Explained Aurora Borealis and folklore. Event though it was cloudy and the outlook was low, Tomas found a spot where we could see the lights and took pictures of us on his camera. We were able to also capture pics on our phones. The hot cocoa and Kleinur were well timed and a nice treat. Unbelievable 10/10 experience.

Northern lights tour - 20.01.26 - The tour was good, as we seen the lights and were very lucky with the burst we had; amazing experience. The hot chocolate and pastry was delicious. However I do have to take a star away, due to the poor quality of professional camera. You pay extra to have these photos included, in comparison to the other northern lights tours. The guide was not a professional photographer and this can be seen in the photos received. I will attach these. All you can see is the top of mine and my partners heads, better photos were taken on my own iPhone. So if you are booking a tour specifically for the professional photographs, I would not recommend this tour, as this is what we did, and we were disappointed with the result.

He tried - Don't automatically expect to see the Northern Lights. They are like any weather related activity, maybe it will happen, maybe it won't.
