2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

Hunting the northern lights on the North Atlantic Ocean is an amazing experience. Sailing away from the coastline of Reykjavik, and seeing the Aurora Borealis out on the water, with beautiful, snow-capped mountains in the distance is something to remember forever.

Please check-in at our sales office at Aegisgardur 5b, 101 Reykjavík (Sea Trips Reykjavik) at the old harbor 30 minutes before departure.

Please note
The northern lights are a natural phenomenon and unpredictable, so remember to bring patience and optimism with you. If the northern lights are not seen on your tour, we do not offer refunds, but instead, give our passengers a complimentary ticket to use another day.
Weather is a big factor for the tour, and we may have to cancel the tour.

Itinerary

Duration: 2 hours (approximately)
  • Old Harbour (Pass by)

    The ship sets sails from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour and during your journey, you’ll sail among the small islands in the Faxaflói Bay, as well as along the coast of Reykjavík, providing you with a fantastic view of the city as you search for the wildlife in the water. The most common sights are minke and humpback whales, dolphins, and porpoises. However, there is always a chance to spot a few orcas (also known as killer whales) as well as a wealth of other species. The professional team onboard is very experienced in spotting whales and is dedicated to making sure their passengers leave with a smile!

  • Faxaflói (Pass by)

    Faxafloi bay is situated on its southern shore. From Reykjavik it is possible to see the peninsula of Akranes in the northeast and even the Snæfellsjökull at a distance of about 120 km (75 mi). This bay has few islands and the ones it does have are close to land, in particular contrast to the bay directly north of it, Breiðafjörður, which has the most islands of any bay in Iceland.
