Step aboard this 1.5–2.5 hour winter cruise for an unforgettable journey into the darkness of Faxaflói Bay, where the mesmerizing Northern Lights may appear in waves of color, movement, and brilliance across the Arctic sky. As you sail away from Reykjavík’s city lights, you'll find yourself in the ideal environment to witness nature's most elusive and awe-inspiring phenomenon. Settle into the comfort of our heated indoor saloon, grab a hot drink from the onboard café, or head to the 360° viewing deck for an unobstructed panoramic experience. Our friendly and knowledgeable aurora guides will share fascinating facts about the science and stories behind the auroras and will be available to answer your questions throughout the journey. Warm overalls are provided for extra comfort, but we recommend bringing a hat and gloves to stay cozy while outdoors.

While sightings of the Aurora Borealis are never guaranteed due to their natural unpredictability, our experienced crew continuously monitors solar activity and cloud cover to give you the best possible chance of seeing the lights. Weather in Iceland can change quickly, but we are committed to operating whenever conditions make it possible. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned aurora chaser, this cruise offers a peaceful and magical setting to embrace Iceland’s winter beauty. For those looking to expand the adventure, consider pairing this tour with a daytime whale watching excursion or explore additional experiences from our selection of unforgettable sea-based adventures.

We visited Aurora Reykjavik in person, so we could get the best and most up to date information about the lights. We wanted to be sure of the best possibility the lights would be out on the day we booked. They gave us plenty of valuable information and were so helpful. We immediately booked the SuperJeep tour for that night and we were not disappointed! The booking allowed us a tour of the Northern Lights Centre, which I'd recommend before going out to search for them. Be patient on the tour and be prepared to wait. It's like fishing! When it finally shows, it was worth the wait! Once the lights showed, the hot chocolate came out like a reward for patience. 😁 The tour guides were great and also took photos for us, and of us. These were provided free. Highly recommend the SuperJeep tour over the bus. Fantastic!

Very informative and learnt lots about the Northern Lights. Particularly enjoyed the selfie photos with a Northern Light scene behind us and free too! There’s a cafe and toilets there too. Staff were welcoming and friendly and advised/guided us to a nearby bus stop on return back to the hotel in the city.

What a lovely exhibit on the Auroras. Each section of the museum felt very thoughtfully curated and I was able to enjoy a relaxing stroll through on a rainy day. There is a feature where you learn how to set your camera settings on your phone to capture an aurora in a photo! That was cool. The virtual reality portion of the exhibit is wild! I could sit in those chairs for hours spinning around, enjoying the sights. Thank you again!

Cute museum about how the aurora borealis is formed. They had nice viewing areas to watch the different auroras that have been filmed over Iceland. The gift shop was really cute. You could buy and send postcards from there as well!

Small but very informational museum. I enjoyed their big room with videos of auroras from different locations; you can sit, or lay down of a bunch of futtons and beanbags. Very nice.
