“Graham was a stellar tour guide and provided us with so much more than just getting to see the lights. He changed the night we went out so that we would have better chance to see the lights and got in contact with us as soon as they started to appear so we could head out early. He gave us so much insight into Akureyri and Iceland in general. He was so accomodating and friendly. We really enjoyed ourselves.”

4.Northern Lights Photography Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 37 reviews · 3 hours · from $194

3-hour Akureyri Northern Lights photo tour with a pro guide, small group, hot drink, and rides to dark skies. Limited spots.

“The tour was overpriced in my opnion. You can only see northern lights under clear skies. Our group was driven to a remote spot around 20 mins from Akureyri. It was rather cloudly but the lights did show up, albeit not very strong. Our guide took photos of the lights, but we never received any of those photos. No photos were taken by the guide of members of the tour group. There was no value-added, all we got was a drive to an opening where the sky was relatively clear.”

A 2.5-hour Akureyri night-sky hunt with pickup and aurora guidance, plus stargazing and photo help in darker skies near Lake Mývatn.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see any northern lights due to the weather conditions. It was really cloudy, but the guide was very friendly and tried his best to get us to see the northern lights. He drove with us about four hours in the south of Akureyri animals very engaged. So in conclusion you have to have good weather and a bit luck.”
