スーパージープでレイキャビクからオーロラツアー

When you book a tour to see the Aurora Borealis, you hope the weather gods will be kind, while knowing there are no guarantees. After all, the elements don’t perform on command. Since it was very cloudy when I went on my Northern Lights Super Jeep tour, I had low expectations. But thanks to Hjörtur’s expertise, persistence, plus a dash of good luck, my group ultimately was able to see the Northern Lights. He knows how to track and chase open spots in the cloud cover, what locations would give us the best chance, and what to watch for in the skies. As it was, it took us multiple attempts at different locations to find a clear spot. The lights were faint, and an amateur like me would definitely have missed the signals. Hjörtur’s dry wit and upbeat banter made the whole experience fun and enjoyable, even without the Aurora. Seeing the Northern Lights has been on my bucket list for a long time, and it is thanks to Hjörtur that this dream has been fulfilled. If you book with Arctic Adventures, do whatever you can to get on his Jeep.

Freeman was great!!! From the useful information to excellent hot chocolate. We loved our experience. And. We saw some auroras.

The best tour I’ve ever taken. I had an emergency that prevented me from arriving on the scheduled date, and they were incredibly understanding and empathetic about the situation. Our guide, Hjörtur, was punctual, extremely friendly, and fun. He did everything possible to make sure we saw the Northern Lights, and his experience in chasing them really shows. Hjörtur is, without a doubt, the best tour guide I’ve had in Iceland. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough.

Although we didn’t see much activity due to cloud coverage, we had fun. Our guide and driver was outstanding and alot of fun. It was cool to off road in the lava fields and on the beach. We enjoyed seeing Iceland at night and connecting with Mother Nature. The hot chocolate was nice on a cold night.

Our driver was great and took us straight to see the northern lights. It was wonderful.

Fantastic night chasing the northern.lights ...and finding them !! Our guide H, was very informative and entertaining and did a great job in finding a spot for us to view. Would definitely recommend.

This was a great. Our guide (H) really made the experience. He was adept at handling the vehicle confidently off-road through the snow, was passionate and knowledgeable about the science of northern lights, took great photos of the group and even told funny jokes. We saw an amazing show of northern lights and would definitely recommend.

We chose Arctic Adventures’ Northern Lights Super Jeep Tour largely because they advertised photos would be taken and provided. During the tour, the guide clearly took many photos (he set up his camera and tripod at multiple stops, he reviewed his own images as he took them and he even directed people for shots based on the images he was seeing in his camera). The first problem - the photos were never posted and/or made available as promised by the guide. The second (and bigger problem) - after multiple follow-ups, we were told photography wasn’t possible due to weather and wind - which is simply not true. Not only did we see photos being taken by the guide with his 35mm camera and tripod, we were also able to capture images on our own phones that night. Because we relied on their advertised photos, we didn’t take our own family pictures — something we now regret. Very disappointing experience, and even more disappointing was the lack of transparency afterward. Unfortunately, based on our experience that night, I cannot and would not recommend Arctic Adventures.

The super jeep experience is totally worth it. The tour guide Mr H was great and very knowledgeable of the best spots and timing. He took us high on the mountains where there was a cloud opening and got some of the best lights of the season even when cloud coverage was very bad and snowy. During the same week we had booked a small tour with a different company on a small bus and it didn’t had the versatility that this tour had.

Guide very professional and kind. Very beautiful tour. Great experience!
