Northern Lights Boat Trip from Reykjavík

About the Activity

What to Expect

Experience an unforgettable Northern Lights chase with our boat trip from Reykjavík. As we leave the shore behind, we will navigate towards a prime location away from the city lights to ensure the best possible conditions to admire the auroras. The boat is equipped with a café and souvenir shop, allowing you to enjoy a warm beverage or purchase a memento while on board. Our guide will share fascinating insights into the science behind the Northern Lights, as well as stories and myths from different cultures, enriching your experience as you gaze at the shimmering sky.

Throughout the tour, you will have the chance to see our Northern Lights video, which is full of folklore and interesting facts, adding depth to your understanding of this natural wonder. We always have a crew member taking pictures throughout the night, so you can focus on enjoying the moment. If you prefer to capture your own photos, we are happy to assist you in setting your camera properly to capture the best shots.

This offer is ideal for anyone fascinated by natural phenomena, looking for a unique way to experience the Northern Lights.
