Northern Lights 4×4 Tour with Pastries and Cocoa from Reykjavik

2.Northern Lights 4×4 Tour with Pastries and Cocoa from Reykjavik

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 340 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $145Top rated

Leave Reykjavik by heated 4x4 minibus with up to 16 people, following weather and solar activity to find darker skies. Guides such as Laura, Lorenzo, Piotr, Edgar, and George have helped guests spot the aurora, set up cameras, and enjoy cocoa, pastries, hand warmers, and guide-taken photos.

“We did see the Northern Lights, which was the highlight, and the coffee and doughnuts were a nice touch. However, pickup was an hour late and the tour overall felt very flat. Our guide, Margot (sp), was kind but lacked energy and enthusiasm. She didn’t share any folklore and only gave a brief explanation of the science behind the lights. Hand warmers weren’t offered (we found them ourselves on the bus), and both drives were almost completely silent, which made a late-night tour harder to stay engaged in. At the first stop, when clouds blocked the view, she asked us if we wanted to give up or try other locations…”

“We did not see any Northern lights and in the very last minute our tour was changed for a lower price onem without been offered any compensation. The funny thing is that we eventually saw few lights from our Hotel balcony, once the tour was finished, so I guess that the spots the guide have choosen were not the best ones. What a shame !3 hours in the bus where the heater was not working properly.”

“We booked a Northern Lights tour with Magnus, and honestly… what a night. He picked us up straight from the hotel, and at the start, things didn’t look promising at all thick clouds everywhere. We were already losing hope. But Magnus? He didn’t give up for a second. He kept driving, checking conditions, adjusting plans, and truly went out of his way to give us the best possible experience. From finding clear skies to setting up killer backdrops, he knew exactly where to be and when. The photos he took were so good that people actually asked me if they were shot in a studio. Unreal. On top of that,…”
