“Icelandic Roamers was our favorite part of our wedding anniversary trip to Iceland. Recognizing that the aurora forecast was poor for the date we had originally booked, they accommodated a more favorable date. Our guide, Izabela, was amazing. She picked us up right in our hotel lobby right on time. She was professional, personable, and knowledgeable about Iceland and northern lights. She took us to several locations to get away from the clouds and, boy, fix we ever find the perfect place. We may never have this opportunity again, but we will have this memory forever. We debated on spending the money for a private tour but it was well…”

The 3 to 5-hour outing includes hotel pickup, Wi-Fi, hot chocolate, cinnamon rolls, and professional Northern Lights photos sent by email.

“What a night! We were fortunate to have a completely clear sky for our one night to see the Northern Lights. Our driver quickly got us to a great location to take it all in. I gave 4 stars because he was an hour late picking us up - maybe due to miscommunication; who knows. But otherwise, well worth the expense.”

5.Northern Lights Tour with Private Photographer

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 10 reviews · 5 hours · from $229Best value

Join photographer and guide Heimir for a five-hour small-group hunt for the Northern Lights from Reykjavik. With a 93% sighting rate, warm jumpsuits, outdoor chairs, Icelandic snacks, camera help, and unlimited professional photos, you get far more than a bus ride into the dark. Maximum group size is 18.

“Amazing, his tracking of the Northern Lights probability is the only reason we were able to see them without a camera. As other tours left for the night he was tracking everything and said we should wait another 30 minutes or so, that everything was moving in the right direction - He was right and the lights were amazing. I would highly recommend it, this was the highlight of our trip to Iceland!”
