About the tour
With that being said, we created this Northern Light tour to increase the chances for you to witness Iceland’s natural phenomenon. Our guides are experts when it comes to Northern Lights and together with them, we are making a decision each day before 18:00 whether the forecast is good enough for the hunt or not.
Once we are out of the city and away from the light pollution and your guide found a good spot, we will jump out of the car and prepare our cameras. Cozy chairs and blankets are on board to keep you warm while waiting for the lights. Hot chocolate, typical Icelandic liquor (Brennivin), and Icelandic “Kleina” add up to the experience. We want this experience to be as personal as it can be. Of course, your knowledgeable guide can assist you with the camera settings in case you need help. Don’t worry if you don’t have a camera, we have you covered. Our guide will take professional photos during the tour and we will give you free access to all photos the next day.
The maximum amount of passengers on this tour is 8 people.
Even with the best of guides, sightings can never be guaranteed. In case we can’t find any lights on the tour, you are welcome to book again for a Group Northern Lights Tour another day. Just inform us before 14:00 the next day, so we can guarantee you a seat.
In case we can’t operate the tour at all during your stay in Iceland, we will fully refund you the tour price.

EXCELLENT Based on 1892 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Dóra OVerified This company doesn't exists??? We planned a full day Golden Circle trip with Holdiay Tours for 1 March 2026. We purchased the tickets back in november. A couple of days before the tour we sent multiple emails to the company, because we had some questions regarding the trip. We didn't recieve any answer so one day before the trip we tried to call them. It said that the phone number is not avaliable/shut down/does not exists. We called the third party we used to book the tour, they couldn't reach them either, but they said that the tour will definitely happen. Well it didn't. We waited for the bus for an hour and it never showed up. The company was unreachable. Luckily we were able to reorganize the trip through the third party with a different company but it would have been devastating if this trip was planned on the last day of our stay in Iceland or if we booked the tour directly through Holiday Tours.Posted on Tripadvisor Eleanor LVerified Great day in Iceland Michal was our guide for the day and made the whole experience really enjoyable from start to finish. The waterfalls and black sand beach were incredible, and the scenery throughout the day was honestly some of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen. We were lucky with clear skies and sunshine, but it was still very cold — definitely bring good layers. The glacier hike was a real highlight. Michal’s knowledge of the area and the science behind it all made it even more interesting, and it never felt like he was just reading from a script. The hike wasn't challenging for us but the conditions definitely helped, we will likely come back and book a more challenging hike but a great experience. Overall, an amazing day and a great way to see some of Iceland’s most famous spots — I’d definitely recommend it. If you’re unsure about booking because of the length of the day (I was at first), don’t be put off. The minivan is comfortable, clean and warm, there are plenty of stops, and the time goes quickly.Posted on Tripadvisor Sara AVerified Great first glacier hike and tour Fantastic day - very well organised with the handover to the hike. The team at Base camp were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and our guide Yan gave clear instruction throughout the hike. The main coach driver and guide were super helpful, giving a little insight to various sights along the way. Would defo recommend. I travelled with my 12 year old who really enjoyed the day. Thank youPosted on Tripadvisor giandomenicoVerified Pessimo Tour cancellato con email senza motivazioni plausibili e senza possibilità di riprogrammare, servizio telefonico pessimo e poco chiaroPosted on Tripadvisor Phoebe GVerified An unforgettable glacier adventure Absolutely incredible glacier hike! Our tour guide, Mihail, was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor, which made the experience both informative and fun. The tour was definitely worth the money, we learned so much, felt safe the whole time, and the scenery was unreal. We saw so many beautiful waterfalls along the way that felt straight out of a postcard. Highly recommend this tour to anyone considering a glacier hike!Posted on Tripadvisor Helen CVerified Wonderful day Highly recommend this tour! A packed day full of awe-inspiring sights and an amazing experience walking on the glacier. Our guide and driver Carlos was great. His talks along the way were really informative and we could tell he wanted us to have a great day, making an impromptu stop for a beautiful sunset. He took great care with our safety and was very patient with differing readiness and understanding across the group. He is clearly passionate and knowledgeable about all that Iceland has to offer. Thank you Carlos!Posted on Tripadvisor ipek aVerified Perfect! Our tour was really good. And also our tour guide Evó was super cool, nice and informative! Takk;)Posted on Tripadvisor Meri VVerified Beautiful glacier I loved a lot the hike in the Glacier and I would like to spend more time there. But the glacier was really beautiful and ice has so many colors. Skogafoss waterfall was beautiful and it was nice to have time to get up to the top with over 400 stairs. Black sand beach waves were awesome. Only minus was that we couldn’t get to the beach to see rocks closer. Although the area was great. Our guide Weronica told us information about the attractions and Iceland.Posted on Tripadvisor 安婷 鄭Verified Evó is a fantastic guide 🫶 Evó Is the best guide I've ever met. Thank you for giving us a wonderful day 💖Posted on Tripadvisor Matthew FVerified Bucket list glacier hike and beautiful waterfalls Best day trip that you can do in Iceland, my wife and I both loved to whole day and we had the best tour guide (Weronika). Bucket list item ticked off.
