VERY IMPORTANT PICK UP & DROP OFF INFORMATION : We offer pick up and drop off within the city of Reykjavik. We can pick-up directly from some hotels as well as from the Reykjavik cruise ship terminals but parts of the Reykjavik city center are restricted for bus driving. This means ... that tour companies can only stop at certain designated BUS STOP locations in the center of Reykjavík to pick up the guests from hotels or other accommodations located within this area. If your accommodation does not have direct pick-up due to being located within the restricted area, then you can use the map here down below for the walking route from your accommodation to the nearest bus stop. Please note that we offer pick up only from Reykjavík city center. If you are staying outside of the city than we can pick you up from BSÍ Bus Terminal. Read more ▼

Itinerary

  • N/A

    On this Northern Lights tour, we leave the city lights of Reykjavik behind and head into the darkness to maximize our chances of seeing the Aurora borealis in all its glory! Your guide and professional photographer will setup the camera gear and start preparing for photo shoot with guests and then later on he will setup table with hot chocolate and snacks for everyone to enjoy. On the search for the northern lights, we might travel through some of Iceland’s most spectacular natural sights without knowing but your guide is sure to let you know along the way. Your tour guide will aim for the spots away from the city with the highest change of seeing the northern lights on the particular night. We schedule each unique tour in a strategic location depending on the weather, cloud cover and geomagnetic forecasts

Going that little bit further to provide a wonderful experience

Published on Feb, 2025

I can’t speak highly enough about this excursion. Obviously it’s a lottery whether you will actually see the NL’s but Heimir went over and beyond to give us an experience that will stay in the memory for a long, long, time. We had booked for the Wednesday, however Heimir messaged Tuesday morning to see if we could make that evening. The forecast for Weds was poor, but he thought there was a good chance of seeing the NL’s on Tuesday. Fortunately we could make the change - it was partially cloudy but Heimir‘s knowledge and persistence meant we were treated to an amazing celestial light show! On top of this the hot drinks and snacks were a great addition, as was the link shared the next day to all the professionally taken photos he’d taken. Thoroughly recommended and thanks again for going that extra bit further to provide a wonderful experience.

The best choice for a trip to Iceland

Published on Feb, 2025

The best decision you can make when visiting Iceland is taking a northern lights tour with Ultimate Iceland Aurora Experts. Heimir communicated with us throughout the day, suggested pick up locations that were easier for us to get to, and truly chased the northern lights to get us the best possible experience. You can tell he’s so passionate about what he does, committed to making it the best possible experience for his guests. When we asked about how he got started in this, he said he saw so many companies just doing this badly, tour guides parking and locking people out of the bus and heading back at a set time even if the lights weren’t yet peaking, not really caring about whether people got the best out of this once in a lifetime experience. He’s committed to the opposite- tracking the forecast and getting you to the best spot, chasing down the best experience, photographing everyone and pointing out to us when it was moving or changing so we could track it. Cherry on top was Icelandic snacks and hot chocolate, . truly 10/10 experience and I’ll recommend Heimir and his company to everyone I know looking for a truly stand out northern lights experience.

Amazing night

Published on Feb, 2025

Wasn't sure we would get to see the northern lights due weather conditions. We had a few nights in Reykjavik and the tour worked with us to take us on the next good night for veiwing if we were still available. And what a fabulous night it was. The northern lights were spectacular. Heimir, our guide, found the perfect spot to see them. I took so many photos. Heimir took photos of each of us with the northern lights and sent them to remind us of this spectacular event. He had hot chocolate, tea and snacks for us to enjoy. The experience was amazing.

BEST Iceland Aurora guide!

Published on Feb, 2025

Heimir was transparent in communications, responsive and on time for pick up. So incredibly knowledgeable about the aurora borealis and was more educator than tour guide- although he was a fantastic host with hot chocolate and snacks. So dedicated to having our group see the lights on what appeared to be a low chance night for viewing. It was a long night and we are grateful that he stuck it out with our group instead of calling it a night at the estimated “end time.” Thank you so much!!!

Amazing time with our passionate guide!

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a great time with Heimir, who is super passionate and knowledgeable about auroras, and his enthusiasm and energy really made the tour really fun on top of seeing beautiful auroras. He answered our questions and gave us some great advice for future aurora hunting. He found the best possible places for us see them, places with low light pollution and possible areas to view. We went when there was heavy snow and not everywhere was plowed, so finding a safe place to park and without trespassing in the dark, I'm happy to have a guide take care of all of that for us. Heimir took fantastic photos which we will cherish forever, and also helped us take our own photos with our phones which became a fun challenge, taking a great photo of the aurora. We were given traditional Icelandic snacks including some festive season ones which were delicious. And even hot chocolate, perfect for the freezing temperatures we had that night. Aurora Experts are a little pricier than the average northern lights tours but I think they were worth the expense.
