Bucket List ✅️
Bragi took us out from Reykjavic on our first night in Iceland. Although we were tired from multi-day travel from Australia, he encouraged us to go out with him that night as the possibility for decent aurora activity was better than the following couple of days. He doesn't take people out if the terrestrial weather (clouds) or solar activity means it will be a poor show. Saw the Northern Lights overhead, streaming across us and pouring down like a winged angelic being. Bucket list ticked on the first night of 3 weeks in this incredible country. It meant we have professional photos to look back on and although we saw them ourselves since, it took the pressure off hunting for them every night (time consuming and tiring and photography can be challenging). Hot chocolate and schnapps was offered and having someone else local doing the driving at night on the "wrong" side of the road was such a relief. Thank you so much Bragi for the memory you helped create. Can't wait to look at the photos at home on my laptop to fully appreciate what we experienced. Amanda and Sascha.
Response from the operator: Thank you Amanda and Sascha I was a bit hard on you guys insisting to go out but happy I did :D Hope you had a good time in Iceland and I hope to see you again in the future :D Yours Bragi

100% worth it
Not really much to complain about anyways when you propose under the northern lights and everything goes as you hoped , BUT.. this would have Never been possible with anyone apart from Bragi. He was checking the weather/ Aurora forecast each Minute it felt and kept me updated all day. It looked super unlucky for us for the whole Trip but he found the Perfect window and got us some wonderful memories. A great guide and also for my girlfriend it was super cool to be taught how to capture the Northern lights. Bragi made us feel super comfortable, got some good Stories to tell and knows exactly when and where to go. I‘d always recommend to spend some extra Money and capture These Special Moments forever rather than Saving on the wrong end and sitting on a full Bus that always goes to the Same 3 Spots without a proper guide. He edits every single picture for the Perfect outside. Bragi is worth it.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for you kind words. It certainly went beyond expectations and turned perfect for the special occasion :D Looking forward seeing you again Yours Bragi

Incredible Experience
I’m so grateful for Bragi and his efforts to give us the best northern lights experience. We tried for multiple days for a clear view, and he was so encouraging when we were almost ready to give up! The results were a spectacular memory, enjoyable company and beautiful photos. Thank you Bragi!!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words, luck sometimes has to be on our side :D Yours Bragi

Absolutely Fantastic
I fully recommend this tour. I took the tour as a solo female traveler and felt completely comfortable and had a great time talking with my guide, who was extremely knowledgeable about the auroras. The photos I received are wonderful as well and I received them very quickly after my tour. A wonderful experience and I am so glad I booked this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you Sophie for your kind words, always enjoyable to have guests who are so interested in my country and saga :D Hope to see you again on your future trips to Iceland Yours Bragi

BEST EXPERIENCE! Bucket list item fully checked!
Wow! What an experience from Bragi and Arctic Shots! We cannot rave more about Bragi. Our family was two adults, one 70 year old and one 4 year old. Bragi was wonderful at handling our group dynamic. He set expectations early in that we may only see the milky way due to our trip being wedged between two bad snow storms and that this may be the only night. We did see the milky way and it was beautiful, but there was a hint of Northern Lights starting to show, so Bragi decided we should stay and see what happens. We are so glad he did! We stayed for a few hours and watched the sky dance. The Northern Lights were absolutely stunning. Bragi was such a great host. He made sure we were warm and comfortable. He was patient with my tired, cold son and still got some amazing family photos. He even took photos of a piece of artwork my son made of the Northern Lights against the sky, which we will cherish forever. Bragi has a such a passion for the beauty of the sky, Iceland and for making sure you have a positive and fun experience. My mom can now check off seeing the Northern Lights from her bucket list and we all have an experience we will never forget. THANK YOU SO MUCH BRAGI! Book with him! He will take care of you and make sure that you see the best you can see while you are there.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words, we sure hit the jackpot and got really nice show :D Always glad to be able help people with the bucket list :D Hope to see you guys again Stay safe Yours Bragi

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
PRIVATE Northern light photo infused tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does PRIVATE Northern light photo infused tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1349 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does PRIVATE Northern light photo infused tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is PRIVATE Northern light photo infused tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule PRIVATE Northern light photo infused tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is PRIVATE Northern light photo infused tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book PRIVATE Northern light photo infused tour?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does PRIVATE Northern light photo infused tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
