“Thank you so very much for a wonderful experience! Reynir is a very seasoned guide who generously shared his knowledge and expertise, right alongside his friendliness and warmth. His experience with the Northern lights was the reason we were able to see the lights at the right time and in the right location. We cannot wait to relive our memories by seeing his beautiful photographs. One thing to keep in mind is that vehicles such as the one we rode in, while perfect for the weather, the back row is challenging to enter/exit for those with mobility limitations. Otherwise, very comfortable and roadworthy.”

The four-hour outing includes professional photos, hot chocolate, Viking and Norse mythology stories, and tales of trolls and elves. Groups are capped at 14, with private tours also available.

“We booked a Northern Lights tour with Magnus, and honestly… what a night. He picked us up straight from the hotel, and at the start, things didn’t look promising at all thick clouds everywhere. We were already losing hope. But Magnus? He didn’t give up for a second. He kept driving, checking conditions, adjusting plans, and truly went out of his way to give us the best possible experience. From finding clear skies to setting up killer backdrops, he knew exactly where to be and when. The photos he took were so good that people actually asked me if they were shot in a studio. Unreal. On top of that,…”
