Cruise from Reykjavik into darker waters to seek the Northern Lights, with warm cabins, blankets, guides, and free repeat trips if needed.
“The boat was fabulous with lots of warm seating areas. The crew and guide were excellent. There is no guarantee of seeing the Aurora as was the case on my trip. I did see whales briefly though which made it special. The team offer a free return in the case of no Northern Lights but if you're here only for a short stay that's not realistic. The cruise was very professional and safe, and reasonably priced.”
Review of Reykjavik’s 3-hour small-group walking tour, with street art, landmarks, Icelandic snacks, history, and practical tips.
“A great experience and an enjoyable time. A very knowledgeable guide not only in terms of the history and the entertaining facts, but also about necessities like grocery shopping and restaurants worth their fare. You won't get a work out. There are quite a bit of grade changes during the walk and our walk exceeded the three hours. The tours are small so there's plenty of room to ask questions and engage with a guide. It was well worth the price, time, and effort.”
