Have not come to pick us up after contacting this company they had not notified the collection service.
Had no other number to contact them and boat left in front of us.
In Madrisd we also did not have a good experience with this company.

Did the cruise with my wife. Boat was clean, staff was super friendly. Got a bit seasick (take those pills if ur not used to boats!). We did see some faint green light, not the full-on show I hoped for, but the staff explained why. Still worth it for the stars and the vibe.

Went with my uni friends and we had a BLAST. Layers and more layers are key. Crew gave us blankets and told us folklore while we waited. Northern lights totally delivered, and I got like a million blurry phone pics. Don’t expect professional shots unless ur a pro, lol.

Saw the lights!!! I’ve wanted to see auroras since I was a kid. Was FREEZING on deck but I didn’t care. Staff gave out these massive overalls that made me look like a snowman, but I was warm. 10/10.

Pretty good, though it got busy. Saw faint lights, and the crew gave us lots of info. Boat was clean. Dress warm!
Cruise from Reykjavik in search of the northern lights on a 1.5 to 2.5-hour yacht experience with indoor and outdoor viewing areas.
Getting started
Board your yacht at the designated harbor in Reykjavik and check in with the crew before departure. Your professional guides will give a short safety briefing and outline the plan for spotting the aurora. Settle into the warm indoor sitting area or step outside to get a feel for the open deck before you sail away from the city lights.
What to expect
Northern lights yacht cruise
Head out from Reykjavik into darker waters where conditions are better for seeing the northern lights. Guides keep an eye on the sky and share simple explanations of the aurora as you move between the indoor lounge, heated by a cozy atmosphere, and the open observation spaces.
Features
Use the triple observation deck to change angles and watch the sky from different levels, giving you more chances to catch any aurora activity as it appears.
Spend time in the warm indoor sitting area when the air gets colder, then step back outside quickly if the lights show up.
Wrap yourself in warm blankets provided on board so you can stay out on deck longer without getting too cold.
Stay connected with free Wi-Fi during the cruise if you want to share photos or check aurora forecasts in real time.
Benefit from professional guides who monitor conditions and help you understand what you are seeing during the 1.5 to 2.5-hour cruise.
What to bring
Bring along comfortable shoes, warm clothing and your camera.
