Recommended northern lights tour. - Eyjo was our tour guide. He was very kind and welcoming. He helped us and many others take photos. Even though it was a cold night, we enjoyed the experience and got to see some cool lights.

Fantastic Northern light experience - Fantastic trip with such a fun, informative guide Ejyor. He managed to find the northern lights at our first stop and what a show it was . About an hour of changing light formations, we were given photography tips and hot chocolate to try and keep us warm. I would highly recommend this trip.

An exercise in patience that paid off in spades - Stefan was the perfect guide - tempering expectations and encouraging patience, but also guiding us with expert eyes to where to look and what to look for. The intensity increased incrementally until it was clearly visible with naked eye. Great trip, would do it again! Photo attached picked up far more intensity than the naked eye.

Stephan is MVP - Stephan was great. He stood in the cold (1*F!) for 90 mins just to tell us when the lights started. Wear a warm parka and warm pants! And multiple socks.

Northern Lights!! - After the tour was canceled twice, the weather improved and we were able to go. We thought we wouldn’t be able to see the Northern Lights, but in the end, when we were already on our way back to Reykjavik, Stefan noticed the aurora beginning, so we stopped and managed to see it.

The best night of my life - Stefan Svavarsson was incredible! At one moment we though that it was not possible to see the nortern lights but he was an expert and he was able to identify one while we were in our way to Reikiavik! This is a experience that I will never forget!!!! Also, he gave to us the best hot chocolate ever! 100% recommended!
