Aurora-hunting by coach from Reykjavik, with on-board Wi‑Fi, photo help, and a free repeat night if the sky stays dark.
“I have done many tours in the past and kers just say this is one of the worst ones. Starting with the bus filling people like it was a local bus and caused a 30-40 min delay in starting the 4 hour tour. The guide wasnt very fluent in English and was struggling to provide…”
