About tour
This is Iceland’s original northern lights boat tour!
Hunting the northern lights from the ocean is an amazing experience; sailing away from the coastline of Reykjavík and seeing the Aurora borealis out on the North-Atlantic ocean with beautiful mountains and the city in the background is something you won’t forget!
Sail out from the Old Harbour in Reykjavík, and in only 15-20 minutes you will be in a prime location for viewing the auroras! Your guide will share facts on the science behind the magical phenomenon of the northern lights and tell you about their stories & myths from different cultures around the world. Throughout the tour, you can view an original northern lights video full of interesting facts and folklore.
The tour takes about 2-3 hours depending on how early/late the lights might appear.
Useful tip: There always is a crew member taking pictures throughout the night so instead of taking a long time figuring out the right settings for your camera, enjoy the moment and check the tour’s daily diary to see the photos! (If you are eager to learn, we can also assist you in getting the settings right)
