Although it’s really regrettable that we didn’t have the luck to witness the dazzling dance of the northern lights, we had a taste of waiting in the dark, cold, and broadly wide field under the sky stargazing and sipping hot chocolate, which was also unique and beautiful. We especially appreciated the driver driving us to our abode with his own car after knowing that my mom was exhausted and old and there’s no public transportation at 2 am. He’s so kindhearted and will always remind us the safest country as well as the beauty and brilliance of humanity of Icelanders.

The bus was delayed for over 40 minutes due to heating issues and waiting to pick up passengers missed from another tour. We could only drive to a place close to the city with lots of lights around because the aurora already exploded while we were waiting and driving to a close location. Very disappointed by the arrangement as I don’t understand why we should wait for other tour’s customers and sacrificed the whole bus’s opportunity to see the peak.
I am an expert at chasing the northern lights, and this tour was a massive letdown. The logistics were a mess. We arrived at 10:00 PM but waited over 40 minutes because three people didn't show up and they were trying to consolidate passengers from other agencies. Standard practice is to leave on time; instead, they penalized those of us who were punctual. During our wait, a large area of high aurora activity (the red zone) peaked, and we missed half of it just sitting in the bus. The driver even gave us false information, stating there was no activity. When we finally parked, the location was poorly chosen—too close to bright city lights because they didn't have time to drive further. We were rushed to get out and only had 10-20 minutes during the strongest display. We were back at our hotel by 1:00 AM, making the total tour time less than the 4 hours we paid for. Very unprofessional and not a true aurora chasing experience.
Unfortunately, our experience with the Northern Lights tour was very disappointing. The tour was cancelled on the first day due to weather, and we were told we would be placed on the excursion the following day. However, the next day we received a call saying the tour was fully booked and we could not go because we were leaving the day after. Instead of offering a proper solution, we were given vouchers for a future tour. But for visitors who may not return to Iceland anytime soon, this is not a real solution. It feels unfair to keep customers’ money without providing the experience that was promised. While we understand that Northern Lights tours depend on weather, the company should reserve space for guests whose tours were cancelled the previous day. Unfortunately, this was not the case for us.
Thank you to our guide and driver. The northern lights lasted quite a while. It was an amazing experience. Thank you for the tour. Totally worth it.
So good. We got a spectacular show. Great tour guide- Darren and Augusta! Thank you. Definitely recommend this- you will love it and the delicious hot chocolate too.
这次极光团整体体验本来可以打高分,但你们的客服严重拉低了对你们公司的印象。 首先,在我下单前,我专门问过“今天是大团还是小团”,客服回复“大概率是小团”。但在我支付、预定完成以后,才被告知是大团。这种在关键信息上前后不一致的说法,让人感觉被误导。 其次,接站严重不守时。客服告知21:00到 bus stop 12 等车,我按时到达,但车直到21:20才来,中间也没有主动电话或短信说明具体抵达时间,只是笼统说“最多等三十分钟”。我们只能在寒风中等了二十分钟,这种安排非常不专业。 另外,第一次没看到极光后,你们在微信和小红书上主动问我“想改到哪一天”,我也配合给出了具体日期,结果来回问了半天,最后却被告知还需要自己发邮件到官网改期。那前面一轮又一轮的询问到底有什么意义?不仅浪费时间,也让人感觉流程非常混乱。 过程中客服发送夸张、带冷嘲意味的表情包(比如无语流汗等),在我已经因为天气和改期问题很焦虑的情况下,这样的表情只会让人更不舒服,而不是被安抚。希望贵公司能认真培训客服人员,学会在出现问题和延误时,如何清晰、专业地解释情况,如何尊重客人情绪。 值得肯定的是,两次极光团的导游和司机都非常友好、专业,第二次也顺利看到了极光。如果仅从产品和一线工作人员来说,我是愿意推荐的。但请不要让一个没有受过良好培训的客服,毁掉客人的整体行程体验,也影响你们公司的口碑。 My overall experience with your Northern Lights tours could have been very good, but the customer service was extremely disappointing and really damaged my impression of your company. First, before I booked, I specifically asked whether that night would be a “small group or big group”. Your staff replied that it would “most likely be a small group”. However, only after I had paid and confirmed the booking was I told that it was actually a big group. Giving inconsistent information on such an important point feels misleading. Second, the pick‑up was not on time at all. I was told to be at bus stop 12 at 21:00. I arrived on time, but the bus did not show up until 21:20. During this period there was no proactive phone call or clear update about the real arrival time, just a vague message that “the maximum waiting time is 30 minutes”. We were left standing in the cold wind for 20 minutes, which is really unprofessional. After we failed to see the Northern Lights on the first tour, your team contacted me on WeChat and Xiaohongshu and asked me which date I wanted to reschedule to. I clearly told you the dates and answered several follow‑up questions, only to be told in the end that I still had to send an email to your official address to change the booking. Then what was the point of all the previous back‑and‑forth? It wasted time and made your process look very disorganized. Throughout the conversation, the customer service agent repeatedly sent exaggerated “sweating / speechless” style stickers. When I was already worried about the weather and the rescheduling, these stickers felt sarcastic rather than comforting, and made me even more upset. I strongly suggest that you provide proper training to your customer service staff so they know how to communicate professionally when there are delays or issues, and how to show basic respect for customers’ feelings instead of just sending random emojis. To be fair, both tour guides and drivers on the two Northern Lights tours were very nice and professional, and we did see the aurora on the second trip. Based on the product and the frontline staff alone, I would be happy to recommend your tours. Please don’t let one poorly trained customer service agent ruin the whole travel experience for your guests and harm your company’s reputation.
The entire group has rich experience. The driver and tour guide able to find a perfect spot for observing Northern light and they provide considering services for the entire trip. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing experience, fortunate to see a lot of Northern Lights activity. Excellent, highly recommended tour. Amazing driver and tour guide!
Saw the Chinese group on Xiaohongshu, saw it on the first stop, very lucky, the guide and driver were both very responsible
Must be tough on the Kwakwa Magic lceland tour! The whole trip was comfortable and well arranged, with a great price. Guided by a gentle, warm and patient man, Mr. Tian will not only explain Iceland's history but also teach you how to judge the appearance of the Aurora. During this journey to catch the aurora, he was undaunted by the cold and looked carefully outdoors again and again for where the aurora might appear. Whenever the aurora showed up, he would gallop back to his car and greet everyone off, never leaving tourists waiting in the cold. Some travelers want to take pictures for help, not only patiently instructing in adjusting the parameters of their phones and cameras, but also pressing the shutter every time seriously, even to find a better angle to shoot, kneeling in the thick snow just to help everyone leave satisfactory photos. In preparing surprises for everyone, he pays careful attention to each person's small needs and tries to satisfy them. Although I couldn't see my dream "Aurora Super Invincible Burst" this time because of the weather, I also met a very moving Aurora that will leave unforgettable travel memories in my mind. Last night was my last night in Iceland, and I searched the dark snow alone, looking up at the starry sky, recalling my three-day chase for the aurora, desperately trying to remember the beauty of this journey through the stars, never to forget. Next time, I will definitely choose Magic lceland! Iceland, I will definitely come back again!
Luckily, I met Aurora Exposure, and through my phone, I saw Aurora dancing in front of me, thanking the penguins for their leadership.
Very good guide and driver are great Successfully see the light Introduction and description very professional
On February 20th, participated in the Shunde Yu guide group, sister is especially nice, in Iceland for 20 years, no questions, enthusiasm, the weather is so cold also actively taking auroral photos for the group members, recommend this travel agency!
Super Roman!!! Great guide, very available
Very lucky the weather is clear today Thank you lovely penguin guide very lively passion Help take photos to give the best emotional value Penguin Guide Really Excellent Ten Stars
This trip to Iceland's Aurora was amazing! The guide Zheng Xuan's sister must be praised for her professionalism and warmth. She accurately prejudges aurora spots, patiently explains Icelandic knowledge, takes pictures with first-class technology, and warms up her baby and hot drinks, feeling safe throughout.
Super great experience. Although the weather is generally thick with clouds, it's really romantic to try to find gaps in the clouds and see the aurora. The Chinese explanation Lucky is super gentle, the driver Lukasz is cute, and they're super hard at finding skylights and teaching us! We were the only ones who chased Aurora that day and wanted to chase them again when the weather was good!
A great experience, unforgettable journey, drivers and guides are especially professional in the pursuit of light, but more importantly the sense of responsibility, than we are anxious to catch. During that time, hot chocolate was also prepared. Very recommended
Unfortunately, this time we only see a few tiny lights, but lucky and the driver (forgot the name, I was from 9/12) have always tried to help us find more lights, thank you!
The team lucky and lukasz are especially great! When the clouds were thick, the two of them took us to change points several times. The guide Lucky was particularly professional, not only in finding skylights with the best chance of seeing the aurora, but also in having humanistic explanations about Icelandic myths and legends, which helped me to understand especially much. The driver, lukasz, is driving well and the windy car is still running smoothly. Recommended.
Tour guide Lucky and driver Lukasz took responsibility seriously, although the moonlight was too bright that day to make the aurora not very visible. The guide still worked hard to get us to four or five points to try and get us to see more aurorae.
Great trip. Guide Lucky. Little sister and driver uncle are also good. Cold and hot to drink. I've been rolling around for aurora during the trip. It's all been a good trip in one go. Recommended.
Lucky was very kind and explained the light, and actively helped me to take photos, the driver Lucas was very friendly, and I went to see the light in all three places
The aurora cluster I followed today was happy, the clouds were big, the moon was big and caught up with the aurora, lucky 👍. The tour guide Lucky and the driver Lucia are very well served.
Lucky and Lucas took us to small viewing spots. They also had the right to punch in spots. Everywhere, they saw the aurora. Today was also very lucky. Full moon, stars, aurora. Last full moon of 2025 saw the best aurora. Thank you Lucky guide and Lucas driver!
Saw the Aurora! Very surprising!! The guide is very experienced and very nice!! The driver is fine!! Hot drinks! Everyone wear more at night. It's cold and windy!!!
This trip to Aurora Chase really exceeded expectations! The guides are very professional and not only flexibly adjust their routes to weather and cloud conditions in advance, but also patiently explain the principles of auroral formation. Taking care of each group member along the way allows us not to worry about the trip at all. In the end we were really lucky to see the explosion-level aurora and the scene was so shaken we couldn't speak! The tour guide also helped us take many professional photos, which worked particularly well and was the most precious souvenir of the trip. The whole trip is arranged reasonably, safely and comfortably. It is well worth attending and highly recommended!
The magic of Magic Corps is that you don't know what the driver has magical powers, and you see the aurora dancing as you get out of the car. Chen and driver kuba left me with a very different trip to Iceland.
The tour guide was super patient, explained in detail, explained the mysteries of the aurora for us on the road, saw the aurora burst, excellent, highly recommended
It was professional, the explanation was detailed - the knowledge content introduced was excellent, the experience was good, the whole group was satisfied, also prepared hot drinks, the overall team was mature. Recommended.
The Aurora Chase experience tonight was great! Very professional Lee guide us to the extreme aurora!!!!!! Aurora dances in the air like an elf!!!!!! Let's be extremely shocked! Thank you very much to Lee and driver magic, the whole process was patient and nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This trip is especially good, the driver drives well and will also find a place. The guide explained very clearly, the road is not boring at all. Originally because the moon is too bright, you are also afraid not to see the bright light. I didn't think to wait a while, and the light appeared. Hot chocolate is warm, the trip is very good
