TRAVELERS’ REVIEWS

by Tim N

We were nervous about seeing the lights as it was a bit overcast and the forecast wasn’t showing very promising conditions for the light, but let me tell you, the forecasts can be wrong! We were taken to one spot early and caught a slight glimpse, but Baldwin thought we could find better, so we hit the road and found a great spot only a 20 minute drive out of town. We were treated to an hour long light show that was breathtaking. The hot chocolate was great, and Baldwin had a lot of information to give about the lights. Be prepared to sit/stand outside, but the van is conditioned well. Would go again, especially with Baldwin.

Great tour, very well organised with a group of about 16 people so it didn’t feel too impersonal but also not too cramped. Devin knew his stuff about Iceland which was fun & interesting & where we could probably see the Northern Lights - always a possibility we may not but you could go on another night We were very lucky as we did see them & they lived up to expectations. Devin also took great photos which were shared after the tour. We would highly recommend!

The tour was AMAZING!!! I higly recommend it! We starter the tour with few chances to see aurora but our guide was patient and perseverant and it could find the only clear sky spot and we was able to see the spectacular Northern Lights! Thank you so so much for making our dream came true!

Michaela K. knew exactly where to go and drove us there safely. She gave lots of history and explanation in a fun way on the drive. She took lots of photos of us in front of the beautiful lights which were shared with us later. In addition to hot chocolate she gave us pastries -a delicious snack. The last time we viewed the lights she was obviously super excited by the show they put on and told us it was one of the best she'd ever seen. HIghly recommend!!!
