Aurora Borealis Hunting with Devin
Our Northern Lights tour was booked through Wake Up Reykjavik and we were fortunate enough to have Devin as our guide. He was a true professional and gifted orator. His stories and details about fishing/hunting for Aurora Borealis was a joy to listen to. He made the photography exciting.
Response from the operator: Oh gosh, what a lovely review. Some say Devin is the best in the biz, and in a completely unbiased fashion, we agree. Safe travels! -Devin

Spiritual experience
Spiritual experience. Our guide Devin K. is an expert in finding the northern lights. He did not give up. Eventually we had one of the best experiences of our lives. He is a total professional, beyond accommodating and just a cool guy. Highly recommend.

Best Norther Lights experience!!
Devin provided the most amazing experience - picking us up on time, introducing himself, making sure we knew what to expect, detailing the Northern lights activity, taking photographs and sharing his contagious excitement! I can't imagine how this evening could have been any better!!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Reykjavik Northern Lights Tour with Professional Photographer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Reykjavik Northern Lights Tour with Professional Photographer cost?
+
Prices start at $1780 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 Reykjavik Northern Lights Tour with Professional Photographer 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 Reykjavik Northern Lights Tour with Professional Photographer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 31 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 Reykjavik Northern Lights Tour with Professional Photographer?
+
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 Reykjavik Northern Lights Tour with Professional Photographer 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 Reykjavik Northern Lights Tour with Professional Photographer?
+
Around 11 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 Reykjavik Northern Lights Tour with Professional Photographer 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.
