Full description

See the incredible northern lights from the panoramic decks of a yacht on this guided tour. This tour is perfect for those looking for an awe-inspiring experience watching the celestial display of the aurora borealis. Meet your captain and crew at Reykjavik's Old Harbor, where you'll board the yacht. You will sail among the small islands in Faxafloi Bay and along the coast of Reykjavik before the yacht begins to sail away from the lights of the city. This will allow you to enjoy the beauty of the northern lights to the fullest. The panoramic triple deck area allows every passenger to enjoy the breathtaking colors of the aurora, and to capture some amazing photos of the green, pink, and white light. If you wish to stay inside during the trip, you will find a lovely bar and lounge area inside where you can relax.

We got really lucky and went out on a great night for lights! We hadn’t even traveled five minutes away from the city before the lights appeared. The inside of the Amelia Rose was comfortable and warm. It was a truly magical experience!

Nice and comfy boat - where you can buy hot drinks & snacks! Needed where it was so cold outside. We went with our two kids & they stayed inside the whole trip - so we had to take turns going out to experience the cold dark ocean! We did see the lights but only slightly! Good experience though and different to the bus/car trips to find the lights! Very very cold so wrap up super warm!
