My husband and I had a great experience on this trip. Hotel pickup and drop off is a big plus. Our driver/guide Iosif (Joseph) was informative and worked very hard to get us to a great spot to see the beautiful Northern Lights. He took numerous great photos of all of us with the lights as the backdrop. The yummy hot chocolate and snacks were a welcome treat during this late night adventure. I highly recommend this Bucket List experience!

Magic in the night sky with Nelu! ✨☕
I cannot say enough good things about our Northern Lights hunt with Troll Expeditions! We were so ridiculously lucky to catch an incredible show in the sky, and the whole experience was magical from start to finish.
The pickup and drop-off process was seamless and totally stress-free. A huge reason the trip went so well was our guide, Nelu. He was so well-organized and extremely patient with everyone. He took tons of photos, made sure everyone got a great shot, and kept offering extra photos to anyone who wanted more—and the final pictures turned out amazing!
Also, standing under the night sky with a cup of super delicious hot cocoa was such a cozy, wonderful touch.
My only small suggestion for the team is to bring a small waste basket along so people have a place to throw away their empty hot cocoa cups instead of leaving litter in the parking lot.
Overall, an unforgettable night! Thank you Nelu and Troll Expeditions for such a great experience.

waste of money
Never took us out, charged us anyway. First night they cancelled due to bad weather, second night they went ahead despite weather (combined weather & northern light forecsat) being worse. I'd book a trip on the day with your hotel when there's a good forecast.

Great guide made it a great night!
Our driver/tourguide Josef was fantastic! Even though Mother Nature didn't cooperate and we weren't able to clearly see the Northern Lights during our tour, it certainly wasn't' due to a lack of effort of Josef's behalf. He took us to multiple sites, shared lots of interesting facts about Iceland during the drive, and warmed us up with piping hot cocoa as well. Our thanks to him for all that he did to provide a great experience.

Aurora dancing
Mother nature does dictate your experience, but we got lucky the sky was clear for us able to see some aurora light. The guide was very knowledgeable and nice. We were very pleased with the whole trip.

Unreal experience
Our guide Nelu promptly drove us to a nice secluded spot to view the lights! He was an amazing photographer and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. I’m extremely satisfied with this once in a lifetime experience! And the hot chocolate was a lovely touch :)

Amazing Lady Aurora Experience
Nelu is the man! Driver/tour guide/ photographer in one! Pick up was smooth, cool ride, nice playlist and amazing photos. I was traveling solo, this tour is excellent since it is just a small group, luxury of space and comfort, with hot chocolate and sweets and lastly photos are free! Isn’t that amazing? Sent us the photos even before we drove back to Reykjavic. I can’t thank you enought Nelu 👍👌🤗

Tour cancelled 8minutes before pick-up!
Dreadful! Tour company cancelled the Tour because of cloud cover 8mins before our pick-up time. We were still stood waiting at the bus stop 20mins after pick-up time. Only found out about the email after calling them. Managed to rebook for the next day. Confirmation email states decisions to cancel are made at 3pm, so why weren’t we informed earlier?! Completely understand complications due to weather. Our time in Iceland is limited to a few days. Our time is precious & we could have made alternative arrangements.

Nelu our driver was...
Nelu our driver was great, picking us up on time and taking us to our first spot. We saw some incredible lights but we were then taken to a 2nd spot that was arguably better! The evening was cold so hot chocolate and treat were really appreciated. Highly recommended!
