There was too much light pollution in the park they went to and we were essentially behind a truck stop with people in homes turning their lights.on. we saw the best lights on the road on the way back and they were fabulous.
We did see the Norther Lights and that was amazing!!! I do recommend this trip! Well organized and on time.
Unfortunately we didn't,t see the lights but this was certainly not for lack of trying from the tour guide and bus driver. They made several stops in different places to try and get visibility but it was not to be. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and we took in a stop at a beach which went down very well with our 2 children.
fantastic experience
Good tour, we were lucky in that we got to see the lights at the last moment. But if we didn't get to see them they would have offered going on a tour on another night free.
This tour was the defining tour of my trip. It was a life goal to see the northern lights and they were able to provide me with a great spot and loads of information. They lights were amazing..check out the pic..can't wait to go back!!
This was the worst tour I have ever experienced. It was cancelled on the first night, meaning when it was ran on the second night, it was massively over subscribed and the operators had to manourver 3 coachloads of people. The weather was terrible, and although there was no gurantee of seeing the northern lights, I was at least expecting to learn something. At no point did the guide tell us about how the northern lights, or about the place they have in iceland folklore, or the like. Instead we were subjected to the same tired old stories about trolls and elves we had heard on other tours, and at one point the guide sang an Icelandic lullaby/drone. its worth noting the other major tour operator did not run their equivalent of this tour as there was effectively no chance of seeing the lights. This indicates the only reason for running this tour was to take money off people. Disgraceful. The highlight was when the guide (who admitted this was a part time job for her, and her primary job was at a fish factory) took us to a whaling factory to take a photograph. In the dark and the rain. DO NOT TAKE THIS TOUR - IT WILL RUIN YOUR HOLIDAY.
It was cancelled the first night, but we went out on the second night. We drove around for 5 and a half hours but saw nothing-you can't rely on the weather.
We were lucky and saw the northern lights on our nights - the tour guide was very nice, she also told us about history and explain about the lights and also Icelandic customs, etc.. amazing!
This company (Icelandic Excursions) is great! We came during a very cloudy week and the tour was pushed off for three days. On the third day it was clear enough to try, and the tour guide and bus driver really did. We did see the lights a little bit, but I was more impressed with how hard the company was working to get us to the right spot. This tour depends on weather, so you must be patient and you may be disappointed if you do not see the lights. You will NOT be disappointed with this company's service, Icelanders, or Iceland. Good luck!
Waste of time. No Northern Lights!
Heavily weather dependent. Essentially you are making $40 gamble that the sky will be clear and there will be a solar storm. Good if you are for an extended period of time in Iceland and ready to try multiple evenings, otherwise you are out of luck.
Shame we didn't get to see the Northern Lights but Viator managed to take us to the only place where there would be a gap in the cloud cover that evening.
amazing! a lovely tour guide!
Great! We werent able to see the lights the first night so I was allowed to go a second night for free and we eventually saw the lights. Definitely take a camera that is capable of capturing low light images, regular cameras and cell phones won't capture the images
