Reykjavik Northern Lights Tour with Pro Aurora Photos Small Group
Description
We are the highest rated Northern Lights tour in Iceland because we have realized that entertainment is a crucial part of the excursion, especially if we have to wait for the Aurora to come out. We have free retries if you don't see the aurora on your first try, hot chocolate and Gingerbread to warm you up. The Tour is educational, engaging and entertaining as you will learn about the science and mythology of the northern lights as well as engage in an active chase of the Northern Lights. We depart from Reykjavik. We are professional Photographers armed with high end equipment able to capture the memories with in high definition, much better than any phone camera can accomplish. If you want an epic picture we also have some Viking props to take fun pictures, lots of fun and laughter. We only use minibuses with extra heaters that we keep warm throughout the night so you can always retreat inside to a warm car if you get cold.

Guide (we got an older gentleman) was friendly and professional. They filled us in on what northern lights actually were and the history as they relate to the region. We went during March and got a spectacular show. The guide set up multiple camera holders on tripods and a professional night lense where he allowed ppl to take as many pictures as they wanted. The location was on the side of the highway on a country road. It was pretty but could possibly find a location that does not have electric lines on all directions for photos. I would say this tour is worth it for the professional photos with a night lense as getting the settings correct even with a personal camera are difficult and the ones on the phone taken with a long exposure just do not compare.
What's to love about this excursion? Everything! We booked this small group tour and super happy we did. Our guide was prepared with all the tech gear he needed to find the location of northern lights. We booked the trip for our first night in Rykevic knowing we might not get to see them. The best part is if they cancel for the evening they will move you to the following night and so on. We were cancelled 2 times, our last night it was on! Yay! We had an amazing time and drove where the big charter busses couldn't get to. Our guide had hot chocolate and took photo's of us and was spot on to where the lights would be. We got to see magnificent colors, purples, green, and some pinks. He said people don't get the colors we saw very often. I would highly recommend this trip. Don't waste your time trying to find them on your own. You probably won't unless you are experienced at finding northern lights in Iceland.
The tour was phenomenal! Of everyone i met at the hostel, our tour was the only one that caught the auroras, defiantly recommend it!
The Northern Lights tour was magical, and our guide went above and beyond by taking countless stunning photos for us, ensuring we’d remember every shimmering moment. The Viking prop added a playful, immersive touch, making the experience feel legendary while the aurora danced across the Arctic skies.
This was an absolutely incredible experience! Thomas was a great guide who brought us to see remarkable northern lights!!
It’s a wonderful experience to see the NLs. Amazing and blessed experience as it showed off throughout the night. What a blessing!!
We are so happy you enjoyed your experience Maria. Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback.
This was an amazing trip considering it was middle of April with vey low likelihood to see the Northern Lights, but our guide was able to find them. The reason I really liked this group is because 1) they allow you to re-book for free if you don’t see the northern lights. On our trip, we saw them, but he felt the lights were not good enough, so offered to rebook on the spot, 2) the guide took pictures of everyone with the northern lights and they were professional grade. Much better than my iPhone or my wife’s DSLR Nikon. The pictures he took of the northern lights and of us with the northern lights were spectacular and they were included with the trip. He took as many as we wanted and he emailed all the pictures the very next day. Would highly recommend this trip as those two reasons makes this group stand out from all the other groups. Also got some hot chocolate as well. The pictures that I posted were just a fraction of the pictures taken by him.
We are thankful for your positive feedback and really happy you enjoyed the tour.
Thomas was absolutely amazing. Seeing northern lights was on my bucket list. I am leaving Iceland so happy that Thomas got to find them and show them to me. Thank you so much. And for taking amazing pictures.
Tomas will be happy with your kind words. Thanks for sharing your wonderful review.
Tomas was so enthusiastic as our guide! He was determined we should all see the Northern Lights which we did! Highly recommend
Tomas doesn´t give up easily and he´ll be thrilled to hear about your positive feedback. Thanks so much.
Words cannot describe how amazing our experience with Kobi was! The four of us booked a private tour with him to see the auroras and we left with memories and stories we will share for the rest of our lives. Do not waste your time booking with other tour companies. Aurora Viking is a local company full of knowledge and interesting stories. We cannot recommend enough!!!
