3.Northern Lights Tour from Reykjavik in a Super Jeep

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 264 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $171

You get free aurora photos and a free minibus retry for up to three years if the lights do not appear, subject to availability. Guides may include Aron, Magnus, Omar, or Jack.

“The tour itself was great and Magnus, the tour guide, was excellent. He is a local and deeply experienced on the Northern Lights. I will recommend this tour in a heartbeat. The hiccup was with Viator due to lack of communication with the local company, after numerous emails confirming the number of people for the tour, they still weren't clear with that information to the local agency, which created a problem but thankfully it was resolved by the time we got picked up.”
