“This Aurora chasing tour was absolutely incredible and truly one of the highlights of our trip to Iceland.

We were taken far away from city lights, and the guide carefully tracked weather conditions and aurora activity throughout the night.

See Iceland’s Golden Circle, soak in Secret Lagoon, and visit Kerið on a nine-hour small-group tour from Reykjavík.
“The tour covers the highlights of the Golden Circle, and it does it a very quick speed. Most stops you get 20-45 minutes, so it was disappointing that it was so rushed. Our guide just gave high-level information on the tour - no stories, anecdotes or other insider information. I could have gotten the information from a Wikipedia page. She was an immigrant from Eastern Europe and didn’t seem like she had much additional information. When she wasn’t speaking, there was HORRIBLE 70’s and 80’s music playing - do we need bad disco with the Icelandic countryside? The Secret Lagoon was the highlight of the day - just lovely! This…”
