Full description

Chase the magical Northern Lights on an unforgettable evening adventure from Reykjavik. Journey away from the city’s glow into Iceland’s countryside, where the night sky is darker and the aurora more visible. Your guide will share stories about the lights, local folklore, and the science behind this natural wonder. As you wait beneath the stars, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and hope to witness ribbons of green, pink, or purple light dancing overhead. The Northern Lights are unpredictable, but every outing offers a memorable Icelandic night under the Arctic sky.

Andre, was on time at the airport, he provided a wonderful tour and explanations, everything was perfect. Bruno (sp?) picked us up this morning also on time and got us to our ship perfectly. I highly recommend Your Friends at Reykjavik. Zofia was excellent in answering questons and booking our drivers .

This was our third tour over the past year with Your Friend in Reykjavík and I feel at this point we are good friends! Arni was an excellent guide and very engaging & knowledgeable. Will definitely do a fourth tour with you when we return to Iceland!

We just completed a tour of the Golden Circle with Anna and a tour of Reykjanes Peninsula with Oli. Both were very professional, on time and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this company if you’re looking for tours.
