Denis our tour operator was brilliant. Very knowledgeable and was persistent in making sure we found the lights. Overall very memorable experience.

Itinerary
We venture far from the capital´s light pollution is search of clear skies. We have studied the aurora forecast of the Icelandic Met Office in advance and know generally the areas with a higher probability of aurora activity. Sometimes we need to try a few location before we find the right spot. Your guide will share fun and educational stories about Iceland and the northern lights. Once we see the flickering green shimmer of the aurora, our guide will assist you with your camera settings, as well as photograph you with this stunning background. Later, we will share a link where you can download high-quality photos of you with the northern lights.

Great time with ottarman, he was a great guide and took us straight to the lights hot chocolate was great too
Such a great experience with BusTravel Iceland. The communication and pick up service is good. Our tour guide Odysseas (I hope I spelled his name right) is great! He’s knowledgeable and tried the best to find the right spot for us to see the Northern Lights. My husband and I really had a lifetime experience for this trip. Thank you so much! We highly recommend the BusTravel Iceland company!
Otter G was our guide with Robert as the driver. This is our second trip with this company and I highly recommend. We wanted to see the northern lights lights and we saw them!! A little bit of patience allowed us to see the wonder of our world. The hot chocolates were a nice touch and allowed us to warm up in between catching the lights
We were extremely happy with the tour guide / photographer, Odysseas. It was an amazing experince. We witnessed great northern lights activity and really great photographs taken by Odysseas and with his help by participants with their smart phones of all brands. We were really lucky to have a good time and duration of the tour. The sky just cleared up when we arrived. We had a little bit of rain after a round of sighting and the great light shower.
Ottarg our tour guide and Roberto our driver gave us a great experience with northern lights. They are well organise and optimistic. Thank you for wonderful photo and experience
We were very lucky and Odysseas was a great guide. I enjoyed it a lot
Odyssea, our tour guide was exceptional! He was friendly, courteous, and helpful with our small group. Odyssea’s expertise on place and spotting the lights and stars. He gave a great detailed explanation on the 3 main factors for the Northern Lights solar phenomenon. Happy we had this tour happen tonight after the two prior nights of cancellation due to heavy clouds. Loved the tour!
Great experience!! ODYSSEAS led us with a wonderful trip:))) saw the northern lights above expectations. Really impressive
Odyessea led a great trip to see a spectacular night of dancing in the skies. Super duper!
A great show with excellent insight and company from Odysseas!
Amazing experience. The guide was very informative and helpful. He made so much effort to find the best place to see the northern lights and they were amazing. We had hot chocolate and a sweet provided too which was a nice touch. Would recommend this experience
Denis was phenomenal and so were the Northern Lights! We will definitely be back to book another tour.
Denis was an excellent host!! Knowledgable and looked after us all very well. We saw the lights and it was beautiful.
I did the tour with BusTravel Iceland and the guide's name was Odysseas / Ody. It took some time to see the lights but with some patience, and our guide's instict about where to go and where to stop we manged to see them! Great experience and Odysseas was just a cool person to talk too. Thank you man! - Writing this here also to make sure I reviewed the right tour.
We saw the Northern Lights. The guide was amusing, amenable and slightly crazy. Great fun and his photos came through by email the following day as promised.
Daniel was a fantastic guide, really informative, great with all the different cameras and provided chocolate too! Great evening with some sights/photos. Have fulfilled a lifelong ambition to see the lights...thanks Daniel and team!
Absolutely amazing tour!! Daniel was extremely knowledgeable, hilarious, and willing to truly chase the lights. Other tours we tried days earlier went to 1 location and gave up. Daniel sought out the best locations based on current conditions & even let us stay later when more lights came out. He also provided hot chocolate and took everyone’s photo making sure they were good pics! 10000/10 tour. If you want your best chance seeing the lights - book this!
Daniel our tour guide was amazing. He was so knowledgeable. You can tell he loves the northern lights just as much as us tour guests. He took some perfect photos of me and my husband under the lights. It definitely helped that we had the best light show we could have hoped for. We stayed out so much longer because the lights just kept dancing! Thank you Daniel 🪄💚
Daniel was exceptional and we saw some crazy northern lights! also free hot choco and chocolate. i highly recommend
Daniel did an amazing job and took great photos!
Daniel our driver/tour guide was awesome, and the Northern Lights were beautiful!
Best experience, the aurora spectacle was amazind and Daniel was best driver guide and support
Daniel is an excellent tour guide, he knows a lot and took us to the best spots
Axel was an excellent operator and very knowledgeable on the Northern lights, he was honest about expectations but the show the lights put on for us was beyond all of our expectations.
An amazing and unforgettable experience! Everything was well organised. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Iceland!
The tour was amazing!Odysseas, the guide, was the best! It was really a once in a lifetime experience!
Thank you for the wonderful tour, Odysseas. We saw some beautiful northern lights and the kids loved it!
It was the best tour of our trip. Pleasant small minibus and our guide Kuba was fantastic. Funny, informative and so welcoming. Safe driver and with his quick alertness managed to stop somewhere very safe as soon as he noticed the changes in the sky. We were all able to consume the magnificent sky and all the aura. Could visibly see the green northern lights and Kuba also took so amazing photos of our family.
We were very lucky and saw the Northern Lights in the very beginning of our trip. Our tour guide Kuba is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. He helped many of us take photos. The small group size made the whole experience more comfortable and provides more flexibility than large coach buses.
Kuba was the most amazing guide, really knowledgable and super helpful. He got us to the right spot rapidly to see the magic sky. We were so fortunate to see the Northern Lights dancing around the sky outside Reykjavik in between the rain.
Fantastic night Came to see the lights for my 50th birthday And the tour didn’t disappoint with the wonderful Kuba driver tour guide we saw the magical lights within 10 mins of the trip !
Awesome attention of Kuba!!!
KUBA was absolutely amazing!! He was a great tour guide and made it sooooo fun!! he took so many amazing photos as well thank you so much
Micah was a very friendly and informative guide especially about the science behind the northern lights
Our tour guide Axel explained information, expectations and was clearly very knowledgeable and experienced in Northern light phenomena. Great sense of humour too!
Axel was an amazing tour guide. We stood outside for over an hour watching the northern lights. It was an incredible evening
Axel was a lovely tour guide and got us to see the northern lights for an hour straight. We were lucky with the weather and conditions but he made the experience extra special.
Great experience! Got to see the lights for an hour. Multiple great photos. Axel was a phenomenal guide very informative and knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend him as their guide to anyone!
It took us sometime to see the lights but the show was totally worth it. Our guide Odysseas told us to be patient while we were waiting and the lights appeared out of nowhere! He also helped the group make photographs and he also made photographs of us!
We had a great time with our guide Daniel who gave us a lot of very interesting facts about the Northern Lights and made beautiful pictures
Amazing trip with an awesome guide Daniel! He knows so much about the lights and probability of them appearing that from the start it felt like it’s going to be a good trip despite not even knowing for sure we’ll see them. But we did! Amazing light show and the biggest one I’ve seen so far. Photos were a nice touch as well! Love the playlist. 👌🏻
Such a great tour! Managed to see the lights and get some gorgeous pictures. Denis was really good at hunting them down and taking our picture with the lights :)
Daniel is a great guide. Very confident to spot lights and he delivered in the first 30 min. Was a beautiful trip, well organized. Can only recommend and looking forward to my upcoming tours booked
Fantastic experience. Daniel was brillant
We decided to book this tour last minute on our last day since we had no luck seeing the lights during our trip. We got lucky at saw the first band as we were heading out. Fortunately we got to see them at all the stops! Denis was a great guide & our driver Yugoslav got us there safely!
I had a really good experience in this tour. The aurora is beautiful and amazing. Our guide, Denis, is a very kind, knowledgeable and helpful guy who guided us along the way to find the best spot. And the hot chocolate is tasty too, especially in cold weather. For future tourists, please also bring thick jackets and trousers with you as it is cold in late autumn.
I did the regular northern lights night tour with a bigger group/bus. Our driver was Yuroslav, who got us to our destinations safely and in a timely manner. The guide/photographer was Denis. He told us about the history of the northern lights, how they form, and how cultures around the world interpret them. Denis also took brilliant photos of us with the northern lights! I am very grateful and highly recommend this tour
Denis and the team took us to 4 stops and we saw the northern lights at all and had a good amount of time to enjoy the beautiful lights!
We had a wonderful experience from beginning to end! Elias and Robert were awesome tour guides. Elias told us some history about Iceland throughout our tour. We were lucky to see some Northern Lights on the two areas that we stopped. Elias was very helpful with talking beautiful pictures of our group. He also provided hot chocolate after our first stop which was delicious 😋 We highly recommend this tour!!!
