Master The Art Of Aurora Photography Before Setting Sail On A Magical Reykjavík Night Cruise


Begin your immersive Icelandic experience with a visit to the renowned Aurora Exhibition, where you can delve deep into the science and mythology behind the northern lights. This educational walk-through provides essential insights into the natural phenomena and offers expert tips on how to capture the perfect photograph of the auroras. Spending time here before your evening cruise ensures you are well-prepared to identify and appreciate the celestial displays you will encounter later that night on the water.


After gaining a comprehensive understanding of the aurora, head to the harbor to board your cruise vessel. The enthusiastic team on board is ready to assist you, offering further guidance on camera settings and sharing their deep knowledge of the night sky. As the boat sails through the dark waters, the crew actively monitors the horizon, often capturing their own photographs of the lights, which guests can request to receive via email the following day for their collection.


The exhibition ticket is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing you to explore the displays at your own pace without the pressure of a rigid reservation. This self-guided approach lets you absorb the fascinating details of aurora hunting techniques and the unique collection of light displays at your leisure. By combining the theoretical knowledge gained at the exhibition with the practical experience of a sea voyage, you gain a much richer appreciation for the elusive northern lights.


As the vessel glides through the night, the combination of expert guidance and the serene environment creates an unforgettable atmosphere. Whether you are a seasoned photographer or a curious traveler, the support provided by the crew ensures you have the best opportunity to witness and document the magic of the skies. This dual experience of education and exploration provides a complete perspective on one of nature's most spectacular shows, making it a highlight of any visit to Iceland.

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!
