★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,887 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) Our pick

Review of Reykjavik’s Northern Lights tour with local guides, hotel pickup, free rebooking, hot chocolate, pastries, and professional photos.

“Our Northern Lights excursion was cancelled twice due to bad weather, which we fully understood and had no issue with at all. On the third night, however, the tour proceeded despite full cloud cover and an extremely low likelihood of seeing the Northern Lights. It was clear during the excursion that the drivers and guides were aware that conditions were unsuitable, yet the tour went ahead regardless. We spent almost two hours sitting at a filling station, where hot chocolate and cinnamon buns were provided, but this did not make up for the lack of an actual viewing experience. The most concerning aspect of the tour was the driving. It…”

Additionally, I want to commend the driver for continuously driving for two and a half hours without taking a break.”

Review of Fairbanks Northern Lights Aurora Tour with free photography, warm van, snacks, expert guides, and practical cold-weather tips.

“Best northern lights tour! I've been on other northern light chasing tours in a different country, and this is the best tour yet! This team does a wonderful job of making sure you are taken care of. They do not provide extra warm clothes so make sure you are bundled up. They do provide toe warmers and hand warmers, along with yummy snacks and water. The team took us to a remote area where there were no other cars and no light pollution, so perfect for viewing the lights. I also appreciated that there were no power lines in the area where we viewed the lights. They have two cameras…”

“The tour was fantastic! We got to see some amazing auroras with Alejandro, he chose the perfect spot where we got to see them dancing and exploding right above us!!! You can tell he is a big fan of auroras so the tour felt like a real aurora hunting experience. Pictures were also great, but what we value the most was his enthusiasm and input into what he does… a once in a lifetime experience. We booked other tours with different companies and this one in particular was our favorite. He also speaks Spanish so it was an extra plus for us. Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱!! Muchas gracias por todo!”

“Our guide Viller was an Amazing guide, very kind and thoughtful. However, there were a number of things that made me select 3 stars for this experience 1. The weather the night of the hunt was VERY cloudy, even hours before the hunt started. It was pretty much guaranteed that the northern lights would not be seen that night. I was even told that it would be extremely difficult by the guide as I was gearing up inside their facility. I think it would’ve been fair to cancel or postpone the tour because after all, that it the main reason why we all showed up. We grilled and took photos…”
