AH33  Northern Lights Mystery 1 Sep 2013 -
15 Apr 2014

Highlights:
  • Search for the Northern Lights 


Tour Description:

Join us for a mysterious trip, on a dark winter night. Any time from the onset of autumn darkness until the light nights of spring we can witness one of nature’s most spectacular displays; the phenomenon which we call the Northern Lights. Far from the glow of the city lights, we hunt for the elusive Aurora Borealis – known as the Northern Lights. Together we will search for these magnificent auroras. On a clear night, we may be lucky enough to see the Northern Lights swirling in a wild and carefree dance across the sky in dramatic shapes, colors, patterns and sizes.

Therefore, we reserve the right to cancel this tour if the evening sky is heavily clouded or weather conditions are not favorable. A decision is taken daily at 6 pm whether the tour will take place or not. All hotels and booking agents in Reykjavik are informed by email about our decision so please contact the front desk of your hotel or the Tour Desk at hotel Saga, Loftleidir and Hilton to find out whether we will be operating the tour.Before we start this tour we always check the weather forecast around the south western part of Iceland. From experience, we decide where each journey will lead us, for the best possibilities to see the Northern Lights.

Please note:  We cannot guarantee sightings even if the tour is operated. In these cases we offer our customers a second tour free of charge. Please book the second tour by calling our tour desk at 540 1313.
 
Please note: Those that join the Northern Lights Mystery tour on 31 December may miss the fireworks in Reykjavik. The Northern Lights tour is a 3 to 5 hour tour and we cannot guarantee that we will be back in Reykjavik before midnight. If you do not want to miss the fireworks, please do not book this tour for 31 December!

Except for the luck that was missing, the whole arrangement was a nice one! Just too bad that the northern lights only showed up for a second and was weak, but they tried their very best to wait for other opportunities on the way back to the city! --- Iceland Excursions: --- Thank you for your comments and review. Hope you can return to Iceland and use your ticket to try again for the Northern Lights tour

A fantastic trip! We booked this tour plus several others and also airport pick up online in the Uk and were very impressed with the efficiency of Grayline. Service was prompt, guides were polite, friendly and extremely knowledgeable and the Northern Lights were stunning!

The tour guide is very knowledgable and told us many interesting stories. Even though at that night the aurora was not very bright, we did enjoy the tour.

Unfortunately did not see lights and were unable to use the next night due to a cancellation due to the weather. We were not that impressed with guide. She did not appear to have a great knowledge of what the northern lights were and even when no lights were visible she kept saying that you could see them with your camera and we should be taking photos. Not sure why she did not just explain that on some occasions the activity is quiet rather than making out that we were seeing something amazing! Was impressed with organisation from other staff who kept me updated as to status of tours and how I could use tickets again if I ever come back within 2 years (although a refund would be nicer!)
