Northern Lights Private Super Jeep Tour with Photos

A truly magical experience!

Knowing that seeing the northern lights in late August would be a challenge, I booked this private tour with Happyworld, figuring it would give us the best chance. Þröstur used his knowledge and expertise to find the right location for the aurora on our tight schedule! It was truly a magical experience! He did a wonderful job keeping all of us, including our 7- and 10-year-old kids, engaged and excited throughout the night. We feel incredibly lucky to have seen the aurora, and we have Þröstur and the team to thank for making it happen. The hot chocolate was amazing and the photos are wonderful keepsakes! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Once in a lifetime experience!

Our private tour was an amazing experience! Our guide, Þröstur Freyr​, was extremely knowledgeable and truly loves what he does. We learned so much, saw an amazing light show, and got so many amazing photos. Don’t let the late night time scare you off - definitely worth it! (also, we were served delicious hot chocolate that was homemade by our guide - a bonus!)

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience :-D It was a real pleasure taking you out. Nights like that are exactly why I love doing these tours. When the sky cooperates and the lights put on a show, it never gets old. I’m also glad you enjoyed the hot chocolate. It’s a small tradition on our tours but it makes those cold Icelandic nights a lot nicer. Thank you again for joining me and for the recommendation. I’m very happy to hear the experience was memorable for you!

Once in a Lifetime Experience

Prostur was amazing at finding the Northern Lights! This was our second trip to Iceland and third attempt to see the Northern Lights. The day looked gloomy and we thought the tour would be cancelled again. The tour company usually makes the go no go decision by 6:30pm, but they asked if we would be willing to wait a little bit longer so we agreed to wait until 8pm. At 7:45 pm we got a message that they would pick us up at 9:30pm and thought they might be able to find some lights. Might was an understatement! We were barely an hour away from the hotel when prostur pulled over and declared he found something. Prostur is a meteriologist and very knowledgeable about the stars and how the northern lights form. The night sky was full of stars and beautiful northern lights, every time we turned around looking at the sky all that we could say was Wow. He told us that only 20% of the tours had our experience. We were very grateful and in awe of the beauty. It was cold and windy but his hot chocolate and donut were a perfect snack to warm us up. We really had two terrific experiences, seeing amazing Northern Lights and getting an education about the start and the movement of the solar system to create the Lights. Great guide and a great tour

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re really happy you agreed to wait a little longer. That clear window turned into a fantastic night. Thrilled that you enjoyed the stars, the Northern Lights, and of course the hot chocolate. We’re grateful you chose Happyworld and glad your third attempt finally paid off! Hope we'll see you guys again :-D

Great evening

Sven was a wonderful guide. Great sense of humor and also explained the science behind the Northern Lights visual display. Best of all, he found a place where we could see the Northern Lights. Thanks, Sven

Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad to hear Svein humor, knowledge, and determination helped make your Northern Lights experience a memorable one. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him.

The private super jeep tour was well worth our time and our guide was great!

Prostur was a great guide. He was on time. He communicated well. He explained what he was doing and why. He worked hard to get us to a place where we might see the lights as it was a very cloudy and fast moving cloud evening. He had stories to tell. He pulled out a telescope to view the starts while we waited. Overall a great experience. He also offered to help us with advice if we wanted to try ourselves another night. When he has an opening on another bus tour he offered for us to take that space but we already had other plans for that day. What a super great guide.

Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that Þröstur made the night special with his guiding, stories, and stargazing, even with the challenging clouds. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him! He’ll be thrilled to know he made such a positive impression.
