MIRO!! Highly Recommended!
If you’re considering a tour with Miro, book it—you won’t regret it. This was my first trip to Iceland, and one of the absolute highlights of my 10-day stay was my tour with Miro. He is incredibly knowledgeable, keeps a close eye on the weather and aurora forecasts, and knows exactly where to be and when. Before the tour, he confidently told me there was a high chance of seeing the Northern Lights, and thankfully I listened. Not only did we see them, but it ended up being the best Northern Lights experience of my entire trip. Miro is also an exceptional driver. Iceland’s conditions can be unpredictable, but I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the journey. As a bonus, he drives an awesome Defender called “Powder,” which made the whole adventure even more memorable. What really sets Miro apart is his personality. He’s fun, easygoing, and genuinely enjoyable to spend time with. On top of that, he’s an incredibly talented photographer. He took some amazing photos of us under the Northern Lights—pictures that I’ll treasure forever. Miro combines local knowledge, professionalism, photography skills, and a great sense of humor into one unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend joining one of his tours. It was easily one of the best experiences of my trip to Iceland.

AWESOME EXPERIENCE
My husband and I booked Icelandic Roamers because we wanted a private professional northern light experience and they surpassed our wildest expectations. They were knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and extremely patient. He was so knowledgeable about not only the aurora but honest about the experience. He knew Soo much about Iceland that we gained a wealth of knowledge. We didn’t see the aurora the first time which was predicted by him but we wanted to try then two days later he called and said it may be possible and he was right we saw the aurora in all of her beauty. We cannot recommend him enough if you’re going to chase the northern lights they are definitely the best company to go with. We wish you all the success in chasing the northern lights

A must get tour from ICELANDIC ROAMERS
I feel lucky I found Icelandic Roamers last minute. They responded fast, which helped me secure a private tour despite the short notice. Our night started with doubt for an hour. The sky was covered with clouds, and I thought we would miss it. But Micahl did not stop. He drove us about 45 minutes north, chasing clear skies. Then it happened. The lights appeared, dancing above us. It felt surreal. One of those moments you never forget.

Northern Lights Proposal
We had an amazing time with Michal! I reached out to them and shared my plan of proposing under the lights. They very accommodating and helpful from the start! They made sure to capture the moment. It was definitely a great experience and very much worth it!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re very happy to hear that such a special moment went perfectly and that everything felt smooth and well taken care of from the start. It means a lot to us to be part of something like this.

Iceland’s Northern Lights Perfect Experience!
Amazing experience with Miro! He brought all the gear and Icelandic experience to make our Northern Lights evening magical. He had a laser light to show us where the lights were emerging, setting up the photography equipment to be ready for every possible moment, including a picture of the two of us with the northern lights above us. It was a freezing and very windy night so he made sure we stayed warm in the car to wait for just the right moments to see the beautiful green lights. My husband‘s glove blew out of the car and across the road into a field. In the pitched dark, Miro actually found the glove with his headlamp and other flashlight. He was prepared for everything even hot chocolate - it was a welcome added touch to a perfect evening! We came to Iceland for the northern lights and felt blessed that we were able to see them on the first night and have Miro make it all possible with wonderful photographs to share and bring home. Thank you Miro!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Eileen for such a lovely review! I appreciate your kind words a lot, and I’m really glad you’re happy with the photos and the whole experience. It was a pleasure spending the evening with you both :) And I’m still surprised we found that glove on such windy night 😄

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Reykjavik Private Northern Lights Tour with Pro Photographer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Reykjavik Private Northern Lights Tour with Pro Photographer cost?
+
Prices start at $1390 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 Private Northern Lights Tour with Pro Photographer take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Private Northern Lights Tour with Pro Photographer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 85 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 Private Northern Lights Tour with Pro 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 Private Northern Lights Tour with Pro Photographer suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Reykjavik Private Northern Lights Tour with Pro Photographer?
+
Around 30 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Reykjavik Private Northern Lights Tour with Pro 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.
