Private Northern Lights Tour from Reykjavik
Description
Winter in Iceland is famous for it's Aurora Borealis, better known as the Northern lights. Embark on a night tour to hunt for the Northern Lights and enjoy magical moments in the vast natural landscapes of Iceland. From Reykjavik we will be hunting the Northern Lights in the west of Iceland, passing Borgarnes town. But we monitor the weather closely and ensure that we go to the best places where you are more likely to see the Northern Lights. We at Mercury are trying to do any single tour like this as a private. But sometimes weather making us mad so on that way we need to share previous travelers with current. Max 8 person in wan if that happens.

Well worth booking. Andres coordinated with us in advance to make sure we had a high probability of see the lights, picked up us at our Arbnb (on time) and brought us on an amazing journeys to see the lights. He knew where to find them, and took great care of us.
Thank you, Martin, for this wonderful review. Yes, due to the weather booking date wasn´t a good choice for travel. Northern lights tours are going based on the weather, so two days later was a better time to do that. I am happy you chose my company and me as traveling with both of you is outstanding. Simple people, thankful with what you have seen and I show everything possible that night. I wish you all the best and hope to see you again. Andres
Wow wow wow! From the first day I spoke to Andres I knew we would have an amazing time. I proposed under the northern lights and the communication with Andres was impeccable from start to finish. He was prompt and alerted me to change days as soon as he knew the forecast. He has sound knowledge of how to look for the lights and we were lucky to get an amazing view. He also took amazing pictures of the special moment. Andres was polite, welcoming and transparent throughout. I recommend his services!
Dear Sonnyv237 Thank you for such an amazing review. We have been on email contact for a long time. It helps me to realise what to do and what not, so everything would be ready for the day of the tour to decide which direction to go. You both surprised me greatly, and I believe the proposal was one of the steps in your life, and more positive things will come. That kind of couple you are. I really hope we will see each other again. Andres
Andres was amazing from start to finish. He planned everything carefully before the day and prepared a few options depending on the conditions, which made us feel very well looked after. This tour was especially meaningful for me because I was planning a proposal to my girlfriend. Andres was incredibly helpful and thoughtful throughout the whole experience. We went to the lighthouse, and he made sure we had the best chance to see the Aurora, and we did! It made the moment even more special and unforgettable. I really appreciate how supportive, professional, and kind he was. I highly recommend booking a private tour with him, especially if you are planning a special surprise or important moment.
On that kind of tour or northern lights tour at all am I always aware how important it is for travellers to get it. Not all of them are lucky due to weather, but you trully was. I still thinking of that night since I pull on the side road for nothing. We have been there maybe for a 10 minutes. That 10 minutes gave us that longer tour and on the way back, we caught wonderful lights. It happens often to me on all tours. For that, the tour must be flexible, without a set schedule at all. I really believe you are made for each other, and it was my honour to make a little mark in your life. Since you aren´t that far from Iceland, I really hope we will see each other again. Thank you for such a good review. Andres
It was a great experience. Andres was very helpful, took great care of us, and did everything he could to give us a wonderful aurora tour in Reykjavík. I would definitely recommend this experience to other travelers.
Dear Emrah, Thank you for this wonderful review. We have been in communication for a long time, so I prepared me for a plan B in case of bad weather. But you were lucky enough, everything goes with you, weather and purpose of the tour. I wish you both all the best in life. Andres
This was truly a fantastic Northern Lights night tour! Of course, seeing the aurora depends on the weather, but our guide was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the whole experience. My partner proposed to me during the trip, which made it even more unforgettable. I have to say, the guide is also an amazing photographer, thanks to him, we have beautiful photos to remember this special moment. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect, we were still lucky enough to see the aurora. The proposal was such a wonderful surprise! Next time, I’ll definitely bring my parents, and I will absolutely choose him again and again. Highly recommended!100out of 100
Dear 627xinyueh, It was my honour to be with you on your proposal and northern light tour. Sometimes we need to be more patien as your booking night weren´t the best in the season. But anyway. In the end everything happened as planed primary and I am very happy to make you night memorable, since it is sign for your life. I really wish you a happy life, full of children, harmony, and luck on your path together. Kind regards Andres
If You need private trip with professional and kind guide this is the perfect choice! I was planning engagement and Andres was incredibly helpful and patient with all my emails and questions. He did everything he could for us to see the northern lights and make it truly special moment. He also provided photos so we will forever remember this night. Besides all of that he is just super fun and friendly person so spending time with him was truly a blast! Highly recommend and I don't think that there is a better person to go on aurora hunt with!
Thank you for this review Seaside. I am just how I am. Tourism is buisiness we need to stay who we are and not to pretend to be someone else. I always doing tour on that way and it is proved that different version, with pretensions, would lead to booking number and not human traveller. I don´t want you and other travellers to be my booking number since you and every other traveller have a name. Acording to tour. For me is most important you have seen everything I promised, since the northern lights are kind of unpredictable and in some night is it hard to get them. But night was your, happened well and I am happy for you. Wish you all the best in your lives. Andres
Didn’t manage to see the northern lights but Andres was a great guide, very knowledgeable, flexible and accommodating!
Harry, Thank you for this review. Weather didn´t been with you, but your purpose was also other than northern lights, so I wish you all the best in your life. I really hope we will see each other again. Andres
We booked Andres after reading some great reviews and wanting a small private tour to avoid a large bus and lots of waiting around. Tonight we were very lucky with the weather, Andres let us know we could start the tour earlier to catch some good lights so we headed out to a dark spot and we were not disappointed. Some amazing lights, we took some great pics and Andres kindly took some of us. We also stopped at a service station for snacks/coffee/bathroom break before continuing our search to some other locations, sometimes leaving the car and sometimes staying in the warm at windy areas. We had a great experience with Mercury Grail and I would highly recommend to anyone 👌 👍🏻
Dear Cupcak, It was really the evening of evenings, even for me. Luck and one of the biggest lights of the season just waited for you. And also, I counted on similar conditions as the evening before, when the lights started hours before the regular start for northern lights tours. To pick you up earlier was the best decision I have made, and you accepted. Thank you to book with me, company Mercury Grail, and I really believe we will see each other again. All best. Andres
Great experience. Andreas was very friendly and made sure that we saw the Northern Lights, even though it was quite a cloudy night. Recommended.
Thank you for this wonderful review. Predictions for that night weren't the best, but we got it so I am happy too. Thank you to be my customer and I hope we will see each other again. Andres
Andres is fantastic. So knowlegagable and friendly. I would highly recommend him to anyone travelling to Iceland. He works hard and wants to create the best experience for customers. Thanks for all your help.
Thank you, Elaine. You are also very cooperative, communicative, and fast-responsive. In that way only a good tour can come out of it. Thank you for that very wonderful review. Andres
