The best time to see the magical Northern Lights in Reykjavik is between September and April. Join your experienced Aurora Borealis seeker and prepare to be dazzled by the greatest light show on earth, from the comfort of a warm and cozy boat.

Iceland is an otherworldly experience on any day, thanks to its gushing geysers, moon-like landscapes, and the knitted jumpers of the locals. But seeing the real Northern Lights is everyone's dream come true!

You'll start your adventure with a short film featuring images, time-lapse footage of the Northern Lights, and scientific explanations for this incredible natural phenomenon.

Then, head away from the city, out into Faxaflói Bay and into the blackness of the ocean, for an ethereal light-show that's so magical, it might just make you cry!

Thanks to your expert guide, you'll stay warm, safe and dry, and the specially equipped boat comes complete with heated lounge and open deck for panoramic views of the sky.

Fingers crossed the lights will shine for you. If not, don't panic – you can take the tour again for free!

Please arrive at the ticket office at the Old Harbour at least 15 minutes before departure to check-in.
