Great Experience - Our tour guide, Ode, was phenomenal! He was very knowledge about the northern lights and while we waited to spot them was able to show us constellations and stars above us which felt like an added bonus to the tour. We went to a few different spots and were able to finally see the lights shortly after midnight. Highlight of our Iceland trip!

Great tour and amazing tour guide! - The 4-hour tour of the Northern Lights was amazing because the tour guide Alexander took us to the best spots to chase the Northern Lights! He was very knowledgeable and made the tour entertaining with a lot of interesting facts about Iceland. He went above and beyond by taking us to an extra viewing spot at the end when he spotted the Northern Lights again on the drive back to Reyjavik.

A great experience - Our tour started with an overcast sky. Our tour guide said we are going southeast there it should be clear. And he was right. There was a full moon and clear skies. On our first stop it was very crowded there. He knew a better point. Here our minibus was alone at the place. We saw great aurora borealis over hot tea and took great photos. Thanks to Bustravel Island.

Northern Lights were so bright!!! - We went on this small group Northern Lights Tour. There were about 12 people total in the tour. The pickup was on time. Our guide Roman was very friendly and fun during our time with him. He knew where to take us and at first, the lights were faint but we trusted our guide and he was right! Within an hour of waiting, the Northern Lights were as bright as can be with the naked eye. Roman was so excited and helpful in directing us where to look until the whole sky was just lit up with dancing Northern Lights. It couldn’t have been more perfect! Roman also helped everyone take amazing pictures with the lights. He was an expert in taking our pictures which were the best souvenirs. We also got hot chocolate drink while waiting which helped warm us up a bit in the frigid night temperature. Thank you Roman!

Good but underwhelming - We went in Sept which isn't a horribly cold month but the night we went and the first location we went to the wind was terrible. We did see the lights but it was underwhelming. The bus driver saw lights that many of us didn't see, I guess he's been doing these tours for a long time. This also came with hot chocolate but the cup was so small. It was good though. If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't have gone. It was too late, too cold to just stand outside and search for lights. Sure do this tour if you absolutely need to see the northern lights.

No show for pickup - Bus never arrived for pickup. Scheduled for 9:30 pm pickup. Waited in the cold with about 15 others until 10:30 pm still no bus. Several people left then. Don’t know if it ever arrived. No communication from company.
