Experience the magic of the Aurora Borealis from the open sea on this unforgettable Northern Lights boat tour from Reykjavík.
Sailing away from the city lights into the dark waters of the North Atlantic dramatically increases your chances of witnessing the spectacular aurora dancing above Iceland’s skyline. Seeing the glowing lights reflected on the ocean, with Reykjavík in the background, is a truly unique perspective you won’t forget.
An expert guide shares the science, folklore, and legends behind the Northern Lights while helping you spot activity in the sky. When the auroras appear, announcements are made onboard so everyone can step outside and enjoy the show. Heated indoor seating areas allow you to stay warm between sightings, and warm overalls are provided for outdoor viewing.
Your friendly crew also takes professional photos on every tour, available to download free of charge. If no lights are seen, you receive a complimentary ticket to try again — ensuring you don’t miss this bucket-list Iceland experience.
