Overview

This 2.5-hour boat cruise departs from Reykjavik and takes guests away from city lights to a location in the North Atlantic Ocean where the northern lights are most visible. The vessel offers heated indoor seating and free WiFi for comfort during the trip. Thermal overalls, including children's sizes, are provided to help keep warm. Crew members assist with photography upon request, and photos taken during the tour are available to download at no extra charge. Food and drinks can be bought on board, but are not included in the price. If the northern lights are not seen, guests receive a free ticket to return on another available tour date. Hotel transfers are not included but can be arranged for an additional fee. The tour operates only in favorable weather conditions. If canceled due to weather, guests may reschedule or get a full refund if they have not taken the tour before. If sea conditions prevent sailing but the lights are likely visible, a bus tour option is offered at the same price without refund eligibility.

Itinerary

1

Enjoy the comfort of a warm, well-equipped boat on this 2–3 hour Northern Lights hunt from Reykjavík's Old Harbour. In just 15–20 minutes we leave the city lights behind and reach Faxaflói bay, perfect for watching the Aurora dance across the clear night sky above the mountains and coastline. Stay cozy on deck in our free overalls (kids' sizes included) while your guide shares the science, stories and folklore behind the Northern Lights from cultures around the world. If you need to warm up, head inside to the café/bar or settle in to watch our own original Northern Lights video that is full of facts. Don't want to fumble with camera settings in the dark? Don't worry — one of our crew is always taking photos throughout the night, so you can relax and enjoy the show, then check our Daily Diary afterwards for the shots. If the Northern Lights don't appear on your sail, you'll receive a free ticket to join us again on the next available night — valid indefinitely, so it's there for you even on a future trip to Iceland. Please remember that this tour is highly dependent on correct weather conditions.
