Amazing tour even with challenging weather

Shannon_M, Apr 2026

Loved Sultan, our guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable, super patient with all of our questions, and —even though we had cloudy and unpredictable weather—somehow he managed to find the right day, hour and spot to have us actually see the Northern Lights! Would highly recommend him.

Worth it!

I booked a private Northern Lights tour with Iceland Paradise Tours. Sultan was our guide and he was very professional and knowledgeable. We learned alot about Iceland and the history of the Northern Lights. On our scheduled night, even though it was very cloudy, Sultan still took us out and was very determined to find the lights. Unfortunately we couldn’t find any but were able to reschedule to a later night. The second night we had more luck. We really appreciated his efforts to fulfill one of our trip goals. If we ever come back to visit Iceland again, we would definitely book another tour with Iceland Paradise Tours and Sultan.

Once in a lifetime experience.

What a night! We were fortunate to have a completely clear sky for our one night to see the Northern Lights. Our driver quickly got us to a great location to take it all in. I gave 4 stars because he was an hour late picking us up - maybe due to miscommunication; who knows. But otherwise, well worth the expense.
