Get away from the artificial lights of the city by heading out to sea to see the Northern Lights in Reykjavík!

Chasing the Northern Lights by boat from Reykjavík is an experience not to be missed in Iceland's winter season, from early September to mid-April. In the dark, clear night sky above the sea, far from the lights of the city, you may be lucky enough to admire this spectacular natural phenomenon that every traveller to the North Pole wants to see at least once in their life!

This Northern Lights cruise in Reykjavík offers you an incredible night-time getaway, aboard a boat equipped with everything you need for your on-board comfort: toilets, a changing room to wear warm overalls, a cafe to buy drinks, and indoor and outdoor areas so you can admire the Northern Lights wherever you like. The crew will be on hand to answer any questions you may have, and will explain everything there is to know about Iceland's Northern Lights via intercom.

These lights of varying colours dancing in the sky are an exclusive spectacle, so book your Northern Lights observation cruise in Reykjavík now so you can try and witness them for yourself!

Unfortunately nature wasn’t on our side that day and we didn’t get to see the lights only thing that ruined it was the tour guide told us to turn our camera flashes off and people didn’t listen to her which then starts becoming frustrated for others who have listened. Not to mention one woman got a torch out and shined it in the sky to find the northern lights lol

Sortie en mer de 2 heures géniale. Bonne organisation, explications claires et consises sur les aurores boréales. Acces libre à tous les ponts du bateau. A refaire sans hésiter
