TRAVELERS’ REVIEWS

This was one of the most amazing experiences of our lives! For years we've been dreaming of seeing the Northern Lights and finally were able to cross this off our bucket list! Our tour guide Palli was fantastic and greatly enhanced our experience with his knowledge and humor! We learned so much about the Northern Lights and about Iceland in general and couldn't be happier with the service provided! He went above and beyond our expectations and was very personable! The hot chocolate and candy was a really nice touch as well! Palli also took amazing photos for us and I highly recommend booking this tour if you're planning a trip to Iceland! Thank you so much!

Yesterday we were lucky enough to live one of the most incredible experiences of our lives: watching the Northern Lights. The natural spectacle was simply breathtaking, and the professionalism and dedication of the guide were key to making this experience memorable. Undoubtedly, a moment that we will always carry in our hearts.

We had a great time! Our tour guide Palli was very kind and persistent with tracking the lights — we had given up on seeing them and last minute, he spotted a beautiful dancing aurora that we got to watch and take pictures with. Would absolutely recommend!

by rebeccaalicebamber

Couldn’t recommend this trip enough! We were very lucky that the Aurora was on high alert so we had good chances of seeing it. As soon as we got on the bus the northern lights had already become visible so our lovely guide Palli got us to darkness as soon as possible to view this amazing phenomenon. We have never seen anything quite like it, it was so easy to see even without a camera.
