An Otherworldly Night - We scheduled a Northern Lights tour from Reykjavik our first night in the city and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Our guide Greg was an engineer by trade, and thus gave us a great scientific perspective on how and why the Aurora occurs. Based on his tracking and projections, Greg brought us out to the Thingvellir National Park area and hit the nail on the head. Around 9:30pm we got a 45 minute uninterrupted Northern Lights show. He took some amazing pictures of us as well. We tried seeing the lights at one more location but it wasn't as brilliant as the first. Greg also pointed out various stars, planets and constellations before providing us with hot chocolate. Highly recommend this trip on your first night in Reykjavik!

Must Do when in Iceland - Our guide was phenomenal. We had an enjoyable ride, he moved around for us to get different angles of the lights. They provided a comfortable coach and hot chocolate. He also give us some insight on the science of the lights and took professional photos for us. I did a different tour the night prior and it was a stark difference (in the best ways).

Magical and awesome results - To see the aurora borealis, so many factors have to align, and it really is a hunt! Our guide Greg was amazing, and gave 100% to help us find the lights and take WONDERFUL pictures to memorialize such an awesome experience. I absolutely loved this adventure and highly recommend it. My advice is to book this early in your trip, just in case it is rescheduled due to weather conditions.

Really good time, Thomas... - Really good time, Thomas our guide did his very best to provide a really great experience. Pick up was smooth and driven about 20 minutes to a dark location. He took time to explain what the lights are including how with it being natural phenomena their limitations. Explained how they can build up which on this cold night they did. Was really observant and when they did build up ensured everyone was aware to get the most out of it. Took superb photos which were shared , which was a real bonus. Well worth it.
