    A magical experience, we were lucky to have good weather, clear skies, and see the northern lights which were very bright and colorful on that day. We had a great time and made really beautiful pictures. By the way, on the original day of booking, the northern lights didn't show up, so we were offered to take the same tour for free on the next available day with better weather and aurora forecast. So we came again. As a result, we were very satisfied with this tour :)

    The trip was good - but despite the Northern lights indicator being very high (4.5) we did not see them. We waited around 3.5 hours in the cold Tundra (had the option to keep warm on the coach) but ultimately we ran out of time and the coach had to leave. By all accounts the Northern lights came out about one hour after we left. As someone who remained at the location saw them.

    It was great experience. Firstly We doubted if we would get aurora, because in Reykyavik so cloudy and rain at the time. But when we went out from city center, it was clear sky with stars. We had to wait each 20-30 minutes to see but close to midnight there was a huge and beautiful aurora. We were so lucky. Thx Darren for guiding us :)
