Hunting the northern lights from the ocean is an amazing experience; sailing away from the coastline of Reykjavik and seeing the aurora borealis out on the North-Atlantic ocean with beautiful mountains and the city in the background is something you won’t forget!
Sail out from the Old Harbor in Reykjavik, and in only 15-20 minutes you will be in a prime location for viewing the auroras! Your guide will share facts on the science behind the magical phenomenon of the northern lights and tell you about their stories & myths from different cultures around the world. Throughout the tour you can view an original northern lights video full of interesting facts and folklore
