Northern Lights Tour - This company was accommodating as our tour got canceled the same day due to rain/weather. We were able to reschedule it to the end of our stay since we were returning to Reykjavik. Something that was very convenient was that this tour offers pick up at many locations! Our guide was very knowledgable and friendly. The tour, as listed (3-5 hours), can be quite long - so make sure you remember that and plan accordingly as we were picked up around 8:30pm and dropped off around 2-2:30am. It wasn't as big of an issue for us but just something to keep in mind depending on what your plans are the next day. Our guide took photos of us and the northern lights during the tour and the turnaround was quick - we received the links to the photo the next day!

Lovely tour for seeing the Northern Lights - What an amazing experience, Siggi was a great guide who was super knowledgeable, I left this tour knowing so much more about the science of the northern lights. The lights themselves were incredible, we were extremely lucky with the show that we saw, the lights danced and everything and it's truly one of the most magical experiences. I have to say that Siggi truly went above and beyond to get the best experience, he went to more private areas away from the much larger tour groups and was happy to wait outside in the cold whilst our group waited on the bus as it was very cold. All in all I could not recommend this tour more.

Amazing Experience - This was such an amazing experience! It took some time to find the lights but Siggi made sure that we found a good viewpoint. He also gave lots of information and knew the answers to every possible question. We got some great photos as well!

Sharing nature's gift - Excellent trip. NL are never guaranteed, but we saw them! Our guide Tomas was so knowledgeable, we learned so much about what happens. You could tell he cared about our experience, and worked hard to "chase the Lights" - thank you for that! Learn to use the Night mode on your camera before you go! Made ALL the difference. Thank you for a memorable evening

Northern Lights - Some history shared during the hour bus drive to our viewing location, though a more quiet bus ride than any other. Would definitely ensure bring / wear layers and be prepared to be chilled...outside for 2+ hours gets chilly quickly. Hot cocoa was a single cup at the end of the time as we boarded to return. All that being said, did get to see the lights and learn a bit about them, plus photos were helpful and a plus.
