Aurora Viking

One of our goals in visiting Iceland was to see Northern Lights. Emil was our guide. He was great at providing us information about Iceland and the Northern lights. The night we went out it was cloudy. Emil kept telling us there were no guarantees, but he was hopeful that we'd find a break in the clouds that coincided with some Aurora activity. We drove around and made several stops with nothing to see. At about the 2 hour mark Emil got very excited. When he found a safe place to park we all ran out like little kids screaming for joy at the fabulous Aurora we were seeing with our naked eye. Emil set up to take photos of us in pairs as well as the entire group. He was expertly framing the photos and kept moving his position to get better angles. The results were fabuous! He had the photos posted by the next day. Thank you Emil for making this trip to Iceland so memorable!

This was one of the best tours I have taken anywhere in the world. Our guide and assistant, Tomas and Valeria, went absolutely above and beyond to provide an amazing experience for everyone in the group. I expected that we might end up in a location where a lot of tours were located, but we were the only ones there and the views were unbelievable. Having professional photos was a big plus, as it allowed us to really be in the moment and not worry about getting pictures. I'll admit that when booking I thought we probably wouldn't enjoy the Viking gear--I was wrong! Our guides made it a fun diversion while waiting for the lights to really ramp up. I know that not all tours chasing the lights are successful, but I'd take my chances with Aurora Viking again and again. In addition to finding the lights, they took care of all the little details that take this tour a step above the others.

Our tour guide Kobe is a professional aurora guide, he was humorous and knowledgeable, told us about the history of the Vikings, and kept the atmosphere very lively. After an hour's drive we stopped in a snowy field and waited for the aurora. Kobe predicted that the aurora would appear between 12:20 and 12:30, during which time many impatient people were gone, but Kobe took us waiting there, and offered warm cocoa and told jokes to arouse our emotions, and from his words we could hear that he really loved the aurora, and his prediction was very accurate, the aurora really appeared at that time! On the way back we met the aurora again and Kobe stopped even though it was late and gave us the best experience. I was lucky to have such a good guide and I am grateful to him for such an unbelievably wonderful experience

It was an unforgettable experience and the cocoa break was a super delicious idea.The photos are also very nice, thank you very much. Uwe & Sabine
