Professional, helpful guide got us to the Aurora

Haffi was amazing! Despite the clouds and rain, we chased and caught the lights at 2 great spots. He moved the tripod as the lights moved so everyone got good photos. We have gorgeous shots and we may have to frame more than one.

Amazing

Seeing the Northern Lights was the main reason I came to Iceland, but the wind, rain, and storms had other plans! My tour was canceled twice, which was disappointing, but the communication was excellent. They let us know early each afternoon and explained that safety came first. Luckily, missing my flight meant I stayed longer and Tuesday night brought clear skies! They messaged to confirm we were going, and it was absolutely worth the wait. Our guide was so friendly and kept driving farther to find the best spot. What we finally saw was the most magical thing I’ve ever witnessed. Watching the lights dance across the sky was a dream come true. The small group made it feel personal. We had hot chocolate, plenty of time to enjoy the moment, and our guide patiently took so many photos of everyone. I never felt rushed, even in the freezing cold! One of the most beautiful experiences of my life. I couldn’t recommend more! 💚

It was cloudy and rainy. ...

It was cloudy and rainy. Our guide tried to find a spot and time to see the lights, but it was impossible.

Disappointing experience and waste of money

Our original Northern Lights tour was canceled by this company due to bad weather, and we were rescheduled for another night. Despite the unfavorable weather conditions and poor Northern Lights forecast, the company still proceeded with the rescheduled tour. We drove for longer than the actual Northern Lights hunt lasted, and ultimately, we didn’t get to see anything. What makes this even more frustrating is that we couldn’t rebook again before leaving Iceland. When we requested a refund, they refused because the tour technically operated. I understand that sightings depend on weather and solar activity, but they knew the conditions were poor and chose to proceed anyway. The lack of flexibility and customer consideration was extremely disappointing. I would not recommend booking this tour in advance.
