About the Activity

What to Expect

Explore the Northern Lights with this boat trip from Reykjavík! Experience the captivating display of Northern Lights as they shift in colour, intensity, and movement against the vast night sky, accompanied by the soothing rhythm of the ocean. Our journey begins with a departure from Reykjavík, as we venture far from the city lights for a serene and mystical viewing. Onboard, you will find heated indoor areas and an inviting café. The boat also features a 360° viewing platform, offering panoramic views of the sky. Our knowledgeable aurora guides will provide insights and answer any questions you may have about this natural wonder.

During the trip, you can enjoy the warmth of our provided warm overalls, ensuring comfort while you witness the celestial dance overhead. Do not forget to bring a hat and gloves to stay cozy. As we drift further from the city, the likelihood of seeing the Northern Lights increases. Our experienced guides are dedicated to maximising your chances by monitoring solar activity and weather conditions. While sightings cannot be guaranteed, the tranquillity of the ocean and the expansive sky promise an unforgettable experience.

This trip is ideal for those seeking a unique adventure under the stars. The combination of a comfortable boat, expert guidance, and the chance to witness one of nature's most stunning phenomena makes it a perfect choice for couples, families, and solo adventurers alike.
