4-hour Northern Lights bus tour from Reykjavik with hot cocoa, photo stops, and a free retry if the aurora is shy.
“Was thinking of going northern lights hunting on our own in our hire 4x4, but truth is, I wasn’t 100% sure where to exactly go and what to be looking for. Last minute we booked this tour and it didn’t disappoint. The guide ‘Dave’ was brilliant! Told us so much we didn’t know and went to 3 different locations an saw some unforgettable sights! Most of the lights you can barely see with your eyes, but the camera brings the best out of them, but we saw some amazing sights with our own eyes! Unforgettable experience, these guys know what they are talking about and know where to look. They…”
Small-group Aurora chase from Reykjavik with hot chocolate, wool blankets, and guide-led photo help. Small group, weather-dependent.
“Our guide was excellent and did his best to try and find us the lights on a cloudy night. We had planned it to have some brilliant stargazing on the same night and it felt like 2 experiences for the price of one as we managed to see the Geminid meteor shower as well as the aurora.”
Reykjavik northern lights bus tour with hot chocolate, WiFi, and dark-sky stops like Thingvellir, plus a free rebooking if skies miss you.
“Really good tour, on time, friendly, knowledgable. Sadly the lights never made an appearance for us, Viator sorted out a tour the following evening (our last night) sadly no show with the lights again but that's the way it goes. Viator & tour company were both amazing”
Golden Circle essentials plus a geothermal tomato farm at Friðheimar from Reykjavik, with an expert guide and timed stops for 8 hours.
“straightforward golden circle tour. big group and slightly rushed but all still okay. tomato thing was kind of random.”
Golden Circle day trip from Reykjavik with small-group comfort, tomato farm stop, and Kerid crater. Easy pickup, expert guide, solid value.
“Roger was an amazing guide, and even included extra stops not on the itinerary which made the experience extra special. Both food stops (the dairy farm and the tomato farm) are well worth the additional layovers, and make this tour a cut above others available (other tours normally skip these). Pick up is really easy and the bus very comfortable! We got back to Reykjavik around 5:30pm, which will hopefully help anyone making evening plans afterwards!”
Guided Northern Lights hunt from Reykjavik with warm hot chocolate, multiple dark-sky stops, and aurora tips for photos from $61.
“absolutely incredible! though the visibility was only 2 on the scale it was well informed. thrilled to have seen even a smidge of the lights.”

Small-group Golden Circle plus Secret Lagoon and Friðheimar tomato farm. Reykjavik pickup, scenic stops, geothermal dip included.
“A really well paced, informative and worthwhile trip. Good value for such a stunningly beautiful day out of Reykjavik through the Golden Circle and the Secret Lagoon. The tomato farm was a fabulous lunch stop. This trip was the highlight of our short stay.”
Snorkel Silfra in Thingvellir National Park, swim between tectonic plates in crystal-clear water, get warm dry-suit gear, photos, and cocoa.
“Beware, horrible customer service with Viator and arctic. “Not recommended” for pregnant women is noted but actually you’ll be refused service here. As an avid diver and experienced snorkeler- there is zero risk snorkeling aka floating in a dry suit on the surface. One says risk is “the suit being tight” the other says risk if “water got in the suit.”They will refuse you going and then take your money and refuse any refund. Skip ladies!”
Small-group Reykjavik 4x4 Northern Lights hunt with hot cocoa, Icelandic pastries, hand warmers, and guide photo help.
“Laura our guide was amazing. She was very welcoming. The hand warmers was a lovely touch. Laura took us to a secluded location approx. 30min from Reykjavik. Apparently the forecast was against us but improving, Laura was optimistic. on arrival the Northen lights were visible. Mother nature at her best. The hot chocolate and pastries were beautiful. Laura took some amazing pictures of us and I can't wait to receive them. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone and everyone!! 5*”

“What a fabulous excursion this was! We booked this trip last minute and so glad that we did! We were lucky to travel in a small group and our tour guide's were super friendly and knowledgeable about the areas we visited. We would recommend this excursion to anybody visiting Iceland. The views of Gullfoss waterfall were out of this world, and the experience of having lunch at Fridheimar tomato restaurant will definitely be one to remember. 10/10!!”
