Northern Lights -Elding is the best way. - Everything went very well and we saw the great spectacle with our eyes and cameras ON. Wonderfully managed by the Elding team. The lady on the cruise was very informative and continuously engaged with the people from the start till the end. We had a great time and the weather permitted for the NL to be seen clearly. We booked and it was postponed 2 times and the Elding team fixed it on the right day when it mattered.

Loved the northern lights - We didn’t think we would see the northern lights after a first glimmer faded out but they came back and we had a wonderful experience.

Amazing experience - Ironically the night we went out, everyone in our home town in England was posting pictures of the Northern Lights. Fortunately the activity was very strong and unusually red here as well so we got great pictures. It’s very cold and windy on board, overalls can be borrowed, gloves that can be used with a camera would be useful. The staff were great. Had a good time.

Northern Loghts - Nice experience. The Northern Lights were out and looked beautiful. There is a bar on the boat for hot chocolate or spirits. Also, the suit for added layer of warmth was amazing. Would definitely recommend

Don’t go with this company to see the northern lights. - Very poor. We attempted to go out for the first 2 nights and it was deemed too cloudy. I have no problem with this, it can’t be helped . On the 3rd night it was still pretty cloudy, but we went out anyway. We were told the cruise was on. Unsurprisingly we saw nothing and we were given complimentary tickets. We rebooked using these for the next night. The cruise was cancelled, again due to poor weather. When I asked for my money to be returned I was told we had complimentary tickets, which were valid for 2 years. We could not use them because like the vast majority of people we were in Iceland touring, and our holiday ended the next day. A complete swindle. I approached the ticket desk and said I thought this was unfair. I was told if they gave people their money back who hadn’t seen the lights, and I quote: “we would not have a business”. In essence they get u out there and take your money whether or not you see the lights. This is a con, I am very sad because our time in Iceland was otherwise amazing and the people kind and friendly.
