Northern Lights Reykjavik by Boat with a Backup Plan
Sail Into the Night Sky
Take a magical journey on our Northern Lights Reykjavik boat tour. Within 10–15 minutes, we leave the harbor and sail into the calm darkness of Faxaflói Bay. Out here, away from the city lights, you’ll have one of the best chances to witness the dazzling Aurora Borealis in Iceland.
Learn About the Aurora
Your evening begins with a warm welcome onboard. Our expert guides explain the science behind the Northern Lights. In addition, they share fascinating Viking legends and Icelandic folklore. Every night is different. However, if the lights don’t appear, you’ll always receive a free ticket to return for another Northern Lights Reykjavik tour.
Comfort on the Water
Comfort is part of the adventure. In our heated lounge, you can relax with a drink from the bar. Moreover, you may step outside onto spacious decks for panoramic views of the Arctic night. To keep everyone warm, we provide complimentary thermal overalls during the Northern Lights Reykjavik cruise.
Backup Plan: Auroras at Whales of Iceland
Iceland’s weather is unpredictable, yet your experience is secure. If sailing is not possible, you will enjoy Auroras at Whales of Iceland, located near the Old Reykjavík Harbour.
Here, you can explore 23 life-sized whale models and interactive exhibits. In addition, you’ll watch a 25-minute Northern Lights documentary on a giant screen beneath a massive fin whale. After the film, join your guide for a Q&A session and enjoy a complimentary drink.
Book Your Northern Lights Reykjavik Tour
With our Northern Lights Reykjavik boat tour, your booking is always safe. Even if the Aurora doesn’t show, you can return free of charge. As a result, you’ll always have another chance to see Iceland’s most magical natural wonder at sea.
