Iceland · NORTHERN LIGHTS TOURS
Nobody sells you the aurora, they sell you a driver willing to chase clear sky. The 15 below run September to April, and most rebook you free if the cloud wins. Compare group size, how far they will drive and the small-bus premium.

“We got picked up at around 20:45 from our hotel for our 20:30 booking, and by that point the bus was already full so they were efficient with picking us all up asap. The bus had a capacity of around 20 people. Our tour guide JP was super informative and knowledgeable about the northern lights, and was enthusiastic we would see them despite the forecast not looking too promising. Thankfully we did catch them, and we got to take pictures from multiple different locations. We also got a piece of chocolate and hot chocolate on our journey which I thought was really nice. In the end, we got dropped back…”

“I know it’s up to nature if the lights show or not. Felt the tour was ill planned and awkward. Could be better planned based on description. We had one night so weren’t able to rebook or get a refund so beware, even if you don’t get your pictures you wouldn’t get your money back.”

“We were told the trip was on despite fog and thick cloud cover all day. Which was a mistake - they should have just cancelled it. We ended up driving around for hours and to many different spots to get only a small glimpse of some lights briefly for 5 mins - which was only seen on the slow exposure camera and not by the naked eye. Most times we stopped and could only see a few stars and then had to get back on the bus. Michaela was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable, very enthusiastic and attentive - but she could not work miracles! Enjoyed the hot chocolate…”

“Unfortunately our tour was cancelled the first time round, but they offered us to reschedule which we easily did for the next night. We didn’t get to see the northern lights this time but the tour was still worthwhile. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and told us all about the lights and some history of Iceland. We were also given the opportunity to re book any time in the next two years for free as we didn’t see them which we will definitely be doing on our return to Iceland!”

“We had our tour on the 6th of December and loved it! It was my partners and I first night in Iceland and decided to do the tour that night incase we didn’t catch them. To be honest I went in already having low hopes because of the full moon however we did in fact get to catch the aurora in the end! Our guide, Christian, was so informative! He talked us through the use of his website and instructed us how to find our own northern lights in the future (which we have been doing). I think the only downfall is obviously the uncertainty of seeing the lights or…”

“Gummi Bear was amazing! Its insane how he knows exactly what to look for to find the lights. I feel so lucky to have had him as a guide. We arrived onsite minutes before the ENTIRE sky lit up. we were fortunate to have incredibly fast moving Aurora activity and he said it's the best he's seen in his 9 years. The days and weeks leading up to last night had had canceled tours or barely any activity. it's be rated 6 out of 10. Last night Gummi Bear said it was a 9.5. Thank you so much!”
