Great tour guide - My mum & I took the mini bus tour on 10th April and our tour guide was determined to get us a chance to see the Nothern Lights. He didn't give up even when everyone on the bus were sure that we wouldn't get to see it. I'm only sorry that I didn't catch his name. His determination ensured that we not only saw the light but a great show from Mother Nature.

Arrived a while late and I would say the trip was a total of 4.5-5 hours. - The views were amazing. We took so many photos and Palli was an excellent guide as he managed to make sure that we saw it, even with there being very low expectations. He took us to the middle of nowhere where we had nearly 2 hours of clear sky with clouds around us in the distance. We even managed to see a corona

Through the tunnel to the sky - Northern lights Artic adventure - I had an unforgettable experience aurora hunting today. Witnessed the amazing northern lights in vibrant green and purple hues, dancing beautifully across the night sky. At times, there were bursts of colour lighting up the entire sky - it was absolutely magical and mesmerising.
My guide, Palli was incredibly friendly and clearly very experienced. He knew exactly where to go for the best views. I also experienced stunning 6km Hvalfjordur tunnel route on the way to aurora hunting. Palli made the whole trip enjoyable with his knowledge and positive energy. I enjoyed the whole trip.

Majestic light show - Palli was an amazing guide !! He promised he would find the Northern Lights and he delivered! We had an over 1 and half hour show of the most majestic colours and shapes l have ever seen. The light show was so amazing and Palli took several pictures of everyone to remember the show. The hot chocolate and delicious Icelandic chocolate made the night extra special !! Thank you Palli and team for an unforgettable night!!

Two Bucket list items fulfilled! - Overall, this was a fantastic experience! The guides were highly enthusiastic and very knowledgable. This was our last experience after 7-days visiting Iceland and it didn’t disappoint. Experiencing the Northern Lights was simply incredible and worth being out in subfreezing temps. Being able to explore a lava cave was something I had never anticipated doing. The only reason this was not a 5-star rating was a technical glitch causing our pickup to be delayed 60 minutes. A simple text “We are delayed 30-minutes” would have been greatly appreciated. Our guides enthusiasm flipped a bad start into an amazing experience!
