Really great. We met at the Old Harbour House. Amelia rose boat was lovely, guide was helpful in showing us what to look for and how to take photos. Managed to see an arch! Sea was a bit choppy which made it hard to stay still for photos but not too bad and would do it again! 😊

Full description

See the incredible northern lights from the panoramic decks of a yacht on this guided tour. This tour is perfect for those looking for an awe-inspiring experience watching the celestial display of the aurora borealis. Meet your captain and crew at Reykjavik's Old Harbor, where you'll board the yacht. You will sail among the small islands in Faxafloi Bay and along the coast of Reykjavik before the yacht begins to sail away from the lights of the city. This will allow you to enjoy the beauty of the northern lights to the fullest. The panoramic triple deck area allows every passenger to enjoy the breathtaking colors of the aurora, and to capture some amazing photos of the green, pink, and white light. If you wish to stay inside during the trip, you will find a lovely bar and lounge area inside where you can relax.

This was a lovely activity, we went to the meeting point at the old harbour house, where you can check in and enjoy a drink before boarding. You also get 15% off food if you want it for booking the trip! The boat itself was spectacular, they kept the original stateroom from when it was first built which adds some history. There is a bar and snacks, really informative guide and we were lucky to see an arc of northern lights on our tour. Also views of the Imagine leave tower were lovely!
