Reviews summaryWe had Petra and Dean bring us around and I must say this was really fun! they changed the locations on the spot depending on the possibility of the aurora and the weather and we had a FANTASTIC sighting near Keflavik! the two of them are so spontaneous and kept us on our toes! I loved it!
I had a wonderful experience with this travel agency on the Northern Lights tour. On my first tour, we were unfortunately unable to see the aurora, but the agency kindly offered me another try the next day at no extra cost. On the second tour, I was lucky enough to see a beautiful dancing aurora. The guide also explained the phenomenon clearly, which made the experience even more special. I truly appreciate their professionalism, honesty, and care for their customers. I highly recommend this agency to anyone hoping to see the Northern Lights.
wait at the designated bus stop, the tour bus will come to pick you up near the tour start time, Harold our guide as well as the driver did a very good job, observed the weather and KP index around to find the best location for aurora, really amazing and fantastic when we saw the north light, thanks for the tour runner and Harold for great efforts, highly recommended
Smooth pick up at bus stop within 30 minutes of designated slot. Nice ride to see the Northern lights at the bridge of continents at Sandvík. Didn't expect much due to the huge cloud cover and drizzling weather, but the weather finally cleared and the clouds made way to a beautiful starry night sky at 11pm. 30 mins standing in the cold at 2 degrees and still no sight of it. When the guide David rounded us up at 12am, the driver Marios spotted the sudden streak of green light with a shy tinge of red. Lucky to spot one on the first night in Iceland despite the weather!
The quality of Bustravel Iceland's tours is guaranteed. The tour leader, Miss Ivy, is quite young. She happened to be the tour leader of the Golden Circle one-day tour the day before. Her father happened to be the driver, Mr. Captain, on the same bus. That night, many buses went out to hunt the aurora. After waiting in the lighthouse for an hour, the wind was strong and the waves were high, but no aurora was seen. Ivy and her father distributed hot chocolate to the members and told them that singing could summon the goddess Aurora, so they encouraged the members to sing and play the guitar by themselves. Strangely enough, after singing two or three songs, the wind was still strong, but after hearing the cheers of the members, the goddess Aurora began to dance and was clearly visible to the naked eye. After spending an unforgettable hour of happy time, Ivy announced that they were on their way home.
The guide was entertaining and knowledgeable, sharing tips and stories about the northern lights. Made the effort to bring us to three different places to catch the lights, and even introduced us to the mid-Atlantic ridge :) Hot chocolate in the cold was a great bonus!
Well the trip was nice. bus came on time to pick us up and dropped as well. Jennifer was quite good. We did the northern lights hunt due to cloudy weather but eventually found it and took good photos. We were given Hot Chocolate as well towards the end. Thanks
Definitely worth going on a tour to ensure your best chance at seeing the lights! It would be a risk going on your own, but there is a chance you can see on your own. But they have all the best apps and up to date information on where to go and where is best to see them. Daniel the tour guide was funny keeping us entertained and had so much knowledge about the lights we were very lucky to have him as our guide.
Overall a good northern lights tour! Our guide, gudjon(?) was friendly & we really enjoyed his commentary/ knowledge sharing. He brought us to a really secluded & dark location to see the lights which were incredible that evening (the rest of the guides take you to Thingvellar national park), and also shared with us how to capture the northern lights on our iPhone/android phones. In between locations he also took song requests via email which was a nice & unique touch! I’d strongly recommend going on the tour with him.
superb, we got very nice view of the lights, and it was dancing 🎈🥳😍🥰😘 the waiting spot was exclusive and perfect! we were the only group there, felt very intimate and spoiled. the tour guide Vik was very professional in explaining things and filling the time and the driver Eugene was indeed the best.
