Devin was an amazing guide. He was knowledgeable and was able to find a great spot to view the northern lights with his first choice. We enjoyed the northern lights for over 2 hours, while he enthusiastically took pictures of us with his professional camera and skills. A very enjoyable tour. Highly recommend it!

Pick up was easy and the van was comfortable. We lucked out with an awesome showing of lights for a full 1-1/2 hours+ of non stop activity!! It was so worth it to have the driver take great photos which were emailed 1 business day after the trip. Hot chocolate and treats were a nice touch. Dress warmly!

Once in a lifetime experience

Lucia_J, Mar 2026
We had an amazing experience!! I cannot believe how lucky we were. we saw the lights right above our spot! Mikaela was such a great guide, she was very knowledgeable and super friendly. She even went the extra mile helping us with our drop-off; we didn’t know that there were no buses to the town we were staying in 20 minutes outside of Reykjavik, and we hadn’t rented a car. Mikaela was so kind and drove us home. we can’t thank her enough!!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Lucia, Thank you so much for your beautiful review. We are absolutely delighted that you had such a once in a lifetime experience and that the lights appeared right above you. Moments like that are pure magic. Mikaela will be so happy to read your kind words. Her knowledge, friendliness, and genuine care for guests are exactly what we strive for. We are especially glad she was able to help you with your drop off situation. Going the extra mile to make sure everyone gets home safely is simply the right thing to do. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience with us and are so glad you chose EastWest for such a special night. Warm regards, Marc EastWest Team Member

An Amazing Evening

Michael_M, Mar 2026
A wonder evening. Lights put on a show for us, Simon P was our driver & guide. He was incredible. Told us the plan for the evening, explained about the lights & had a great sense of humor. This tour was the highlight of our 5 days in Iceland

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Michael, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are absolutely delighted to hear that the Northern Lights put on a great show for you and that the evening became the highlight of your five days in Iceland. Simon P will be very happy to read your kind words.

We truly appreciate you choosing EastWest for such a special night. Warm regards, Marc EastWest Team Member

Devin is a rockstar

Shannon_S, Mar 2026
WOW!! What an incredible experience. We went in mid-March, and I was prepared to either not see the lights or only see a limited portion, and we lucked out by having an incredible experience!! Our guide, Devin, rated our experience as a 9/10 and the best he's ever seen the lights in March. Devin was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and his enthusiasm for the lights was evident. While it was very cold, Devin also took great care of our group by letting us warm up in the bus and sharing the promised hot chocolate and snacks.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Shannon, WOW right back at you. What an incredible review — thank you. We are absolutely thrilled that you had such an unforgettable Northern Lights experience, especially in mid March. A 9 out of 10 and one of the best March shows Devin has ever seen is something truly special. Devin will love reading this. His enthusiasm for the aurora is completely genuine, and we are so glad that energy came through. It is also great to hear that you felt well looked after on such a cold night — warming up in the bus with hot chocolate and snacks definitely helps make those magical moments more comfortable. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us. Warm regards, Marc EastWest Team Member

Bucket List Night. Northern Lights in Iceland

Paula_F, Mar 2026
Going in a small group made a big difference. Hot Chocolate was so good. Getting included photo was nice.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Paula_F, Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are delighted to hear that your Northern Lights tour was a true bucket list night for you. It is great to know that the small group size made a difference and that you enjoyed the hot chocolate and included photos. Those little touches really do help make the experience even more special.

Worth it! Don’t let Weather influence whether you go!

Manas_J, Mar 2026
The tour guide makes the experience!! E weren’t supposed to see the lights but she made it work and found a spot that turned out to be the best photo op

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Manas_J, Thank you so much for your great review. We love your title and could not agree more. The weather forecast does not always tell the full story. It is fantastic to hear that even when conditions did not look promising, your guide stayed determined and found the perfect spot that turned out to be the best photo opportunity. That flexibility and persistence are such an important part of a successful Northern Lights hunt. We are so glad it turned into a “worth it” experience for you. Thank you again for sharing your feedback and for encouraging others not to let the forecast stop them. Warm regards, Marc EastWest Team Member

Great experience

misty_r, Mar 2026
Great experience! We were fortunate to have a beautiful, clear night, but guide Devin had to adjust our locations due to high wind. He was absolutely great. Devin was engaging and entertaining and found us northern lights activity that made for an unforgettable trip. Can’t wait to see his photos, which are included in the cost of the booking. Highly recommend if weather forecast looks decent.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Misty, Thank you for joining our Northern Lights Tour. We are glad you had such a memorable evening under clear skies and that Devin’s flexibility in adjusting locations ensured the best possible viewing. It is great to hear his engaging approach added to the experience, and we hope you enjoy the photos. We hope to have you on board again and wish you safe travels. Kindest Regards, Miguel EastWest Customer Service

Bucket List Tour

Jamie_M, Mar 2026
This was a great trip. Two families of four (kids ages 10, 13, 15, and 16). Our guide did a fantastic job finding gorgeous lights and taking photos. Bundle up-it’s super cold and windy, but when the “lights are on” it’s definitely worth it.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Jamie, Thank you for joining our Northern Lights Tour and for sharing your experience. We are glad to hear your guide was able to find beautiful displays and capture photos for your group. It is also great that the experience was enjoyable for both families despite the cold conditions. We hope to welcome you again on another Iceland adventure. Safe travels. Kindest Regards, Ines EastWest Customer Service

Finding the lights!!

Brent_L, Mar 2026
While seeing the Northern Lights is never guaranteed, Michaela is the best chance to get there. She hunts down ideal spots, watches the real time weather forecast and makes every effort to get you that view. Her enthusiasm gets everyone excited as she has a real passion to find the lights AND get great pics of all of us with the lights in the background. What a wonderful evening!!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Brent, Thank you for joining our Northern Lights Tour and for your thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that Michaela’s dedication helped maximize your chances of seeing the aurora. Her enthusiasm and effort to capture photos for everyone truly make the experience special. We hope to welcome you again on another visit to Iceland. Safe travels.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Jackie, Thank you for joining us on the Northern Lights tour.

Not the best.

Amy_B, Mar 2026
My husband ate something during the day that did not agree with him... he was feeing nauseated and needed the bathroom every 15 minutes. It was horrible. This company refused to re-schedule. Relentless, unempathetic reiteration of their 24 hour policy. Their representative Martha admitted that they would loose profit from our empty seats. Again, my clear intentions were not to cancel, but simply reschedule due to extenuating circumstances. I normally do not leave bad reviews, but I am compelled to share my experience.

Well exceeded Expectations

Steven_T, Mar 2026
It was cloudy and raining all day and drizzling when the tour bus arrived. I thought no way would we see the northern lights tonight. But our guide Baldwin was beyond amazing. Only 1/2 hour outside the city he pulled the bus over and checked the skies. He told us there was a clearing but it would take a little while. As we watched the clouds moving within about 1/2 hour they started to appear. And then they were everywhere. After about an 1 hour we left for a pit stop. but he still pursued on to find and even better stop where they were dancing. He took lots of photos of everyone and even a group photo. There are no words to describe how wonderful he was as a guide always keeping us informed and giving us time estimates on everything. We returned back to the city around 12:30 and it was one of the most magical nights ever.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Steven, Thank you for joining our Northern Lights Tour and for such a detailed review. We are glad Baldwin’s determination and experience paid off, especially after a day of difficult weather. Finding those clearings and watching the lights appear and grow stronger must have been a truly memorable moment, and we are pleased he kept everyone informed and captured photos along the way. We hope the night remains one of your favorite travel memories. Safe travels and we hope to see you again. Kindest Regards, Miguel EastWest Customer Service

Highly recommended!

Monika_H, Mar 2026
Our tour guide Gummi is really funny and knowledgeable. He was trying really hard to find us a great spot to watch the Northern Lights. It was such a wonderful experience and unforgettable night!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Monika, Thank you for joining our Northern Lights Tour and for your kind feedback. We are happy to hear that Gummi’s humor and knowledge added to the evening, and that his efforts to find the right viewing spot helped create such a memorable experience. Nights like these truly stay with you. We hope to welcome you again on another Iceland adventure. Safe travels. Kindest Regards, Miguel EastWest Customer Service

Highly, highly recommend...

Michelle_C, Mar 2026
Highly, highly recommend this tour and the fantastic guide, Baldwin. Pickup was prompt, mini buses were comfortable & kept us warm all night. Baldwin educated us on the science behind the northern lights. He really tried hard to give us the most optimal Aurora experience as possible. The drivers communicated with each other through the eve to share optimal locations. Our guide kept us out an hour extra & you could tell he did not want to give up. This was so appreciated. Icelandic kleina (donuts) & hot chocolate were delicious & warmed us up. Having a small group & professional photographer is 100% the way to go. Baldwin encouraged us to get in line for photos a few times to be assured we got the shot we wanted, and as often as we desired & (that the lights would allow). It was a mild showing for our night but as we were driving back, he caught another brief showing & stopped so we could enjoy once again despite it being late. The winds were strong enough that time to knock you down by then & it was so frigid but he took another round photos of our group until he couldn’t feel his fingers, just to give us more memories. We truly appreciated his dedication & patience as well as his knowledge. Book this tour!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Michelle, Thank you for joining our Northern Lights tour and for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear how much you appreciated Baldwin’s dedication and knowledge while searching for the aurora. It is great that the small group setting, warm drinks, and photo opportunities helped make the evening even more memorable despite the challenging weather. We hope to welcome you again for another adventure in Iceland. Safe travels! Kindest Regards, Miguel EastWest Customer Service

Fantastic trip, we...

Steven_S, Mar 2026
Fantastic trip, we weren’t lucky enough to see the Northern lights this time but that’s not the tours fault, our guide Simon was fantastic and very knowledgeable and we have been offered the chance to go back again if we would like for free to have another go at seeing the northern lights. Would definitely recommend this trip!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Steven, Thank you for joining our Northern Lights tour and for sharing your experience. While the lights did not appear that evening, we are glad to hear that Simon’s knowledge and enthusiasm still made the trip enjoyable. It is also great that you appreciated the chance to join another tour and try again. We hope you get the opportunity to witness the Northern Lights on your next outing. Thank you for recommending the tour, and we hope to welcome you again in the future. Safe travels. Kindest Regards, Miguel EastWest Customer Service

Paying for a seat should mean having one!

Maureen_B, Mar 2026
You must be willing to spend this money knowing there’s a high probability of not seeing Aurora Borealis. Our guide was great and tried his best. I was unable to sit in my seat because there were 2 morbidly obese guests that took up 3 seats next to me (one being mine). I was forced to balance on the edge and was almost bounced off into the center aisle when we went over a bump. I switched seats with my petite daughter and she felt crushed by the mass during turns. This tour is for 4 hours. That’s a loooong time to politely deal with an issue that should never have existed. TOUR OPERATORS: This tour was NOT inexpensive. In fairness to ALL guests please begin requiring anyone needing an extender seatbelt for air travel to purchase TWO seats. This way you will assure every guest who paid for a seat will have, travel in comfort and enjoy their excursion!

A Must do

Elizabeth_G, Feb 2026
Hands down one of the best, memorable vacations we’ve had. To see the sky’s natural light was an absolutely blessing to see. We are thankful to our tour guide for the laughs, insight and the wonderful pictures. Truly a must do when you visit Iceland.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Elizabeth, Thank you for joining our Northern Lights tour and for describing it as one of your most memorable vacations. Witnessing the aurora is truly special, and we are glad our guide added insight, laughter, and captured beautiful photos for you. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on another adventure in Iceland. Safe travels. Kindest Regards, Miguel EastWest Customer Service

What an Amazing Night

Jaime_B, Feb 2026
What an amazing experience!! We had originally booked for a Monday night, but the tour was canceled due to rain all around Iceland. We booked for the following night. As our pickup time came closer the snow in Reykjavik started. When the van pulled up we asked our guide if we were going to see the lights tonight and he confidently said yes. How lucky we were to get Baldwin as our guide. He drove an hour outside of Reykjavik to clear skies to make it possible. He helped get everyone's cameras set up and gave an interesting lesson on the lights. He stopped at a spot he saw some activity at and sure enough in the 1 hour and 15 minutes we were there we saw multiple auroras and witnessed them going from light to super bright. He was amazing!!! He also took photos with everyone with different angles of the lights. And then served us donuts and hot chocolate. When we loaded up to head back to Reykjavik, as we were driving he spotted another aurora and pulled over so we could also watch that one. It was such wonderful experience all around. When we returned I saw many posts in a fb group I am in about Iceland that said their tour that night had been canceled or of it went they didnt see anything due to clouds. I can not recommend this tour company enough. Baldwin did everything he could to make sure we saw the auroras. 1000% recommend.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Jaime, Thank you for coming along on our Northern Lights tour. We are thrilled that Baldwin’s confidence and dedication led you to clear skies and such an active aurora display. It is wonderful to hear he helped everyone with photos and made the night both educational and memorable, even stopping again on the return drive. We truly appreciate your strong recommendation and hope to welcome you back in the future. Safe travels. Kindest Regards, Miguel EastWest Customer Service

Bucket list achieved

lynda_m, Feb 2026
It was my last night in Iceland, I had booked with another company and they cancelled at noon said bad weather they wouldn’t be seen. I searched reviews and found this tour. It was twice as much money, but It was worth every penny!! Devin was our amazing tour guide, he has a radio voice that is easy to listen to, he told stories & his own personal Iceland love story. We had to drive quite far out, but he nailed it! Found the perfect spot and after a few minutes the sky started to light up. We spent hours in the cold watching it dance around the sky as he took pictures after pictures of our group. I couldn’t be more pleased. Best night ever !!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear lLynda, Thank you for joining us on your final night in Iceland. We are so pleased you found us after the earlier cancellation and that the experience proved worthwhile. Driving out to the right location, seeing the sky come alive, and capturing those special moments together truly makes it unforgettable. Devin will be glad to hear how much you appreciated his storytelling and dedication throughout the evening. We are delighted we could help you achieve that bucket list moment and hope to welcome you again on another adventure. Safe travels ahead. Kindest Regards, Miguel EastWest Customer Service

Bucket list experience

Louis_G, Feb 2026
Incredible bucket list experience! Devin our guide was fantastic! Picked us up outside our hotel in a very comfortable mini van. He thoroughly explained how to photograph the northern lights in addition to the science behind the the Arora. You could immediately tell how knowledgeable and passionate he is about the arora and photography! I learned more about the arora from Devin then I could have in a college level earth science course. In addition he was hilarious and took some fantastic pictures! No need to even try taking your own photos as the ones Devin took of us are so good they don’t look real!! Would very highly recommend this tour!! If you want to truly experience the lights and leave with professional photos look no further than the east west tour with Devin

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Louis, Thank you for joining us on the Northern Lights Small Group Tour. We are delighted that the evening became a true bucket list moment for you. Devin will be very pleased to hear that his explanations, passion for the aurora, and photography skills made such an impact. Capturing professional quality photos while enjoying the science behind the lights is something we always strive for. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again. Safe travels. Kindest Regards, Miguel EastWest Customer Service

Devin was a fantastic guide who explained everything along the way. He made every effort to get us the best views, including pulling over on the way back to town. The hot chocolate, dessert and photos were all an added bonus!

We had a wonderful...

Rebecca_M, Jan 2026
We had a wonderful experience on the northern lights tour, even without a sighting. Our guide, Baldvin, was a real professional. He did an excellent job managing expectations and kept everyone informed and engaged throughout the night. Safety and comfort (warmth!) were always a priority, but he made every effort to find an ideal viewing spot away from the crowds that come with larger tours. While we were unlucky with solar activity, the night itself was stunning: clear skies, a full moon, and a beautifully illuminated lake and mountains. You hardly noticed the cold. Baldvin also gave clear, helpful instructions for rebooking, which we really appreciated. Fingers crossed for better luck on our second try, but even without the lights, spending the night in the Icelandic landscape was absolutely worth it.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Rebecca, Thank you for joining us on the Northern Lights tour. We appreciate your kind words about Baldvin’s professionalism, clear communication, and focus on comfort and safety. Even without a sighting, we are glad the landscape and overall experience made the night worthwhile. We wish you better luck next time and safe travels. Kindest Regards, Miguel EastWest Customer Service

Can't recomend Devon and East/West tours enough!

Diane_B, Jan 2026
I booked this particular excursion because it was a small group tour and the photos were included. It was definitely the right choice. There was a small snafu at pick up - due to my not seeing the confirmation email that had been sent that morning. It was quickly corrected by EastWest tours and we were on our way. Our guide Devon - was AWESOME! He was fun, engaging, and very capable. He even gave a basic instruction in how to set your phone to try to get pictures on your own. There was a fair amount of cloud cover the night we went, but Devon knew where to go to give us the best chance to see the auroras. We stopped multiple times with gradually improving levels of success. I must say that we did not see with our naked eyes what you get with pictures. We confirmed with others we met while in Iceland that this was their experience as well. Just because you don't get an amazing view when you look, doesn't mean the auroras aren't there. Devon got us some incredible pictures. After being out for a few hours, and taking advantage of a bathroom break, we had seen some fairly good success. Devon wanted to try one more time and that last stop gave us the best lights that we had seen. Dress extra warmly as it gets very windy on top of the cold. The hot chocolate helped and the pictures Devon took were more than worth it. I highly recommend this trip!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Diane, Thank you for joining us on the Northern Lights tour. We are happy to hear that Devon’s energy, guidance, and persistence helped make the most of challenging conditions, and that our team could quickly resolve the pickup issue. We appreciate the recommendation and wish you safe travels. Kindest Regards, Miguel EastWest Customer Service

Ionut was very knowledgeable and entertaining and took some great photos. The hot chocolate was also very necessary on a cold night!

Dear Andrew, Thank you so much for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Northern Lights tour and that Ionut’s knowledge, entertaining style, and photography helped make the night so memorable. Those cold evenings definitely call for a good cup of hot chocolate, so we are glad it hit the spot. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. Warm regards, Marc EastWest Team Member
