      Akureyri Northern Light Tour - highly recommend!

      Sophie_S, Jan 2025
      There are several northern light tour companies to choose from in Akureyri and we are so glad we decided on The Traveling Viking. The weather was cloudy in the evening and did not look promising, but we checked in and were assured our tour was going ahead. Our guide Lilja was wonderful, friendly, and very knowledgeable of the lights. She knew the side roads of Akureyri well and the quiet places for the best views. We were incredibly fortunate our night to have such a strong display of lights. Lilja helped us take photos and took several photos of us, which she sent to us the following day. Thank you Lilja for these memories!

      Incredible Lights & Lifetime Memories

      Graham, Traveling Viking, was a fantastic guide! He made sure we got great views and priceless photos. He also ensured we were warm and even gave us a hot cocoa and cookie break before continuing our adventure. Booking this tour will create unforgettable memories.

      Incredible tour - worth every penny

      We had the most incredible tour with our guide Lilja. We saw the Northern Lights within around half an hour and then enjoyed four stops with different views of the lights. Lilja was an expert guide and ensured that we had the best views of the lights throughout. She was also friendly and gave us an amazing insight into Icelandic culture. She also took some expert photos of us, which made the experience all the more memorable. I could not recommend this tour more highly and would like to thank Lilja for making our trip so special.

      Not able to see the lights as it was cloudy

      Pedro_G, Sep 2023
      We were not able to see the lights as it was raining. Maybe they should cancel the tour even with a partial refund if they know the weather forecast points to a rainy night. We wasted 3.5 hrs and went to bed really late a bit disappointed.

      Lucky day
