What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: EastWest, Tangarhofoi 13, Reykjavik 105 Iceland
First off, you will start your hunt for the Northern Lights with a bit of planning via the Aurora forecast and start your exploration by heading towards the selected location. You might drive for up to one hour to reach a good spot and perhaps wait for the lights to appear. At this point, we take out the hot chocolate and Icelandic pastries. We also have Icelandic wool blankets on board to keep you warm while standing outside.
There may be the decision of changing spots, by interacting with other locals as there are many different people outside looking for lights every night. We do this to increase the possibilities of finding Northern Lights. If there are no northern lights while on tour, you get to try again for free (upon availability).
By traveling in a minibus you get the quality of a small group of no more than 19 people, as crowds are being avoided in order to get to the best spot available.
Duration: 4 hours

The tour guide Marcelo made the experience Unforgettable with his epic and well timed music playlist. He kept the energy up and got us all excited for the northern lights. It was also a great chance to learn more about Icelands history and understand the science behind the aroras.

The driver was very nice, and contact with the company was prompt and polite. Changed our pickup spot very easily. Our tour still went ahead, despite the fact that it was a storm for two days previous to it. Cloud cover across the sky was practically uninterrupted. The tour should have been cancelled, but it went ahead (Which I don't feel was done because there was any chance of seeing lights, the cloud was so thick). It was a long 4 hrs on a bus driving out and back.Devin was an excellent and enthusiastic guide who did everything to make our Northern Lights tour as memorable as possible. Thank you Devin. A small issue we had was dealt with and satisfactorily resolved by customer services. I would recommend this company as reliable and would use them again.
