Traveler reviews
Fun!!
We did not really see any northern lights, just a hint of green, but the guide did a fantastic job hunting them for us despite overcast skies. Fantastic hot chocolate.
Cancelled
The tour was cancelled, we rebooked for the following night and that was also cancelled die to weather
Mother Nature Had Other Plans
Understand that the tour is a “search” for the elusive Northern Lights not a guarantee you will see them. The bus service was great. The hot chocolate was tasty but it is served in a tiny shot cup. Our guide was personable and knowledgeable. We did not see any light on our tour but, because of that, we have the option of trying again another time free of charge.
Total disappointment with Viator for its failure
Worst experience dealing with Viator. My wife and I were supposed to be picked on Sep.17 at 8:30 PM from my hotel FOSSHOTEL Baron in Reykjavik for Northen Lights. We were waiting front of the hotel since 8:20 PM. Bus did not show up. At 8:40 a Viator bus came with other passengers. I was trying to approach it. It did not stop. The bus came from Skulagata side and turned right on Baronstigur not even slowing down. It passed right by me and my wife and kept going till it was out of my sight. I had no number of Viator to call. I talked to the hotel reception. They could not help me. I had one more day in Iceland which is already scheduled with tours. So I decided to hire a taxi to try to see Northern Lights. We tried without success. I paid taxi driver for the efforts. I want Viator to refund the money I paid and I want an apology for its failure to provide the service.
Searching for the Northern Lights
Patience is a virtue, which is a requirement for this tour to give you the best chance of seeing the NL.
