Just Magical - After the weather calling off this on our first day and the forecast being pretty iffy for the rest our stay, we weren't optimistic that we'd actually get to see the Northern Lights. However, the trip went ahead one evening and the guide said he thought we might be lucky. After an hour on the boat we started the think the vague hint of green might be as good as it was getting and the boat began to turn for home. Suddenly the boat stopped turning and we were told to go to the front and we had a great showing! Really appreciated the crew holding on for us to see the lights in their glory. Wrap up warm as it gets chilly (although it is warm inside the boat and there is a bar serving hot and cold drinks!). Another bucket list activity ticked off!

Great Experience! - Great experience, great tour!
We got to see the northern lights (which helps!) skies were clear and our tour guide/narrator was fun and helpful.
Boat was comfortable and all in all a great experience I would recommend.

Best day out! - We booked this trip a year in advance and lo and behold the volcano erupted the morning we arrived. I was sent an email with either a different hot spa rather than the blue lagoon as it was dangerous or a change of trip. We continued with the trip and it was well worth it!! We saw Kerio crater which was -20! Watched a geyser which was fab, gullfoss waterfall which was amazing !! Then we spent the end of the day in the hot springs which was amazing!!! 12 hours well spent!

The best northern light trip we have had - The trip was great and can’t fault the boat and crew, unfortunately we didn’t manage to see the lights but we can revisit free for the next 3 years, can’t say fairer than that.

Northern lights - It was a cloudy night so we could really see the northern lights clearly, we could through the clouds. The boat ride out was nice and the company said because we didn't see the light we could book again. We plan to go back out once we find a time to go

Would go again - Didn’t see Northern Lights.
Loved the boat, the crew, the ride was beautiful. Served drinks, coffee & and few munchies. No lights, but there is no control about that. 👍

Not worth the money - Cannot parodic the weather but advertised small boat and was taken out on board a larger boat rammed with drunken people with over expensive bar . Not worth the money in my opinion

So bad - Not serious company
They show on tripadvisor tours with a boat the harpa, very fashion then they say you that there are some engine problems and very close to departure they send you a mail... and you only have to acept.

A scam - Don't book this cruise. You will pay extra for an intimate experience on a small yacht, blankets provided.....etc. but you are paying for nothing!
What this company do is outsource and use the same boat as the larger tours. We knew we were being taken for a ride but even though we asked the guide 3 times she told us we were going on the boat we had booked. Once the boat (with over 100 people on it) has left the harbour the guide told us to contact the company for a refund.
2 weeks later I am still trying to get someone to take my concerns seriously! Waste of money!
