“Was lucky enough to see the northern lights just after midnight. And the Milky Way too! Was a very clear night and Graham my guide was amazing. The hot chocolate warming and the conversations had between us were really good. I booked for 2 people but went alone to get the trip to go ahead and I’m so glad I did. Was a very good personal tour”

4.Northern Lights Photography Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 37 reviews · 3 hours · from $194

A 3-hour small-group Northern Lights hunt from Akureyri, with pro guidance, hot drink, WiFi, and photos if you catch the aurora.

“The tour was overpriced in my opnion. You can only see northern lights under clear skies. Our group was driven to a remote spot around 20 mins from Akureyri. It was rather cloudly but the lights did show up, albeit not very strong. Our guide took photos of the lights, but we never received any of those photos. No photos were taken by the guide of members of the tour group. There was no value-added, all we got was a drive to an opening where the sky was relatively clear.”
