No two journeys are ever the same – each one is carefully crafted to match your pace, your passions, and your dreams, ensuring a truly personalized experience that feels like it was made just for you.

For those who prefer the intimacy and flexibility of a private experience without the full tailor-made planning process, we offer a carefully curated selection of private tours available to book directly on our website. These ready-to-go experiences have been refined and perfected over the years, combining our expert local knowledge with the convenience of instant booking. Whether you're short on planning time or simply want a tried-and-tested adventure with just your group and a dedicated guide, our private tours deliver exceptional experiences that have delighted guests year after year.

We also offer thoughtfully designed small group tours, perfect for travelers who enjoy the energy of shared experiences and the value of group travel. Browse and book directly on our website to join like-minded adventurers exploring Iceland together. These tours have proven incredibly popular over the years, particularly our renowned Northern Lights Tour. Unlike most companies that pack 20-50 passengers onto a single bus, we limit our groups to a maximum of 18 guests. This intimate size ensures everyone gets a prime viewing spot, personal attention from your guide, and a more authentic, connected experience under Iceland's magical aurora.

All of our private tours come with professional photography included as standard – at no extra cost. Your expert guide captures unlimited high-resolution images throughout your journey, ensuring every magical moment is preserved in stunning detail. From dramatic landscapes to candid moments of joy and wonder, you'll receive a complete visual story of your Icelandic adventure. Each image is expertly edited to showcase Iceland's extraordinary beauty and delivered via our secure online photo gallery within 48 hours of your tour. This means you can be fully present in the moment, immersed in the experience, without worrying about getting the perfect shot yourself. Simply live it, and we'll capture it.

                            Everything about this experience was just perfect."Plain and simple, Heimir is AMAZING! This trip is worth every penny as Heimir is knowledgeable, experienced and love what he does. we didn't feel rushed or hurried as Heimir was chasing he Aurora in multiple locations and we we were amazed by the how clear the Aurora was. Everything about this experience was just perfect. My wife and I absolutely loved it." MikeTraveller MikeTraveller
- 
                            10/10 recommend!""Heimir was a FABULOUS host and guide. He reached out to us early to invite us out on an earlier date with less cloud cover to ensure we got to see the lights. He was very relatable, knowledgeable, and a very generous and gracious host. We loved visiting with him and getting to partake in traditional Icelandic snacks. He took a stunning photo of us that was “the photo of the trip” for us. 10/10 recommend!" AustinTraveller AustinTraveller
- 
                            This experience was unforgettable"I have never met a kinder, more gracious host than Heimir. On our first night out, cloud cover meant we only caught glimpses of the Aurora. To our surprise, he generously offered us a complimentary second chance—and on that night, we witnessed the full, breathtaking beauty of the Northern Lights. Heimir is not only a passionate Aurora expert, but also a truly beautiful soul. This experience was unforgettable, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone visiting Iceland. If you are in Iceland and dreaming of seeing the Northern Lights, this is the host you want. 100% recommended." DeibbyTraveller DeibbyTraveller

                            We would absolutely book this experience again and again"What a perfect way to experience the northern lights! First of all, Heimir's communication was always timely and thorough, so we knew what to expect when booking and also on the day of. You can also tell he puts our experience first, pulling over when a solar flare was happening and asking our opinion on if we wanted to stay in one spot or try to get to another. He put the same amount of effort into our pictures, giving us the most incredible memories. And to top it all off, the treats at the end of the tour were an excellent addition. We would absolutely book this experience again and again and would seek out Heimir's other experiences if we ever come back to Iceland." KathrynTraveller KathrynTraveller
- 
                            I cannot recommend this experience more."I cannot recommend this experience more! Heimir has a true passion for chasing the northern lights. He doesn’t just give you the basic experience of trying to see the aurora. He knows how clouds move, and knows many secret locations he can pick among depending on weather. He went above and beyond for us to see the most beautiful dancing northern lights. I loved all about it: his passion, knowledge and direct communication all step of the way. This is the best tour and you should jump on this opportunity!" Federica Federica

                            Hands down the best Northern Lights tour!"Hands down the best Northern Lights tour! We went on his tour 4 straight nights it was so good (saw them every night)! If you are looking for a tour look no further and book right away! Heimir goes above and beyond in every regard! He reviews aurora & cloud data consistently and brings you to the best spot within greater Reykjavík area, choosing the best spot each night (big tour buses go to same spot irrespective of clouds). Moreover, he doesn’t run a rigid return time like most companies do, giving you the best shot to see the lights (one evening we stay out till past 1am to see another burst) If that hasn’t convinced you, he is also a photography expert and makes sure you go home with some amazing photos under aurora. Additionally, he provides a spread of Icelandic snacks, has snow jumpsuits to keep warm, and chairs to watch lights in comfort. Can’t wait to return again and do both his northern light tours in winter and his golden circle and hiking tours in summer, he’s awesome!"
