Affiliate Disclosure

This site is free to read because of affiliate commissions. Here is how that works, what it costs you, and what it does and does not change about what you read. The trips themselves are compared on the Vík northern lights tours page.

The short version

We may earn a commission if you book through one of our links, at no extra cost to you. You pay the same price you would pay by going to the booking platform directly.

We are not a tour operator or a travel agency. We do not sell tours, take payments or act as an agent for any operator or platform.

Who does what

Every trip listed here is sold and operated by a third party: Gray Line Iceland, Snæland Travel, Gravel Travel, Icelandic Lava Show and Arctic Adventures, all selling through GetYourGuide. Each operator name, the platform and the product ID appear on the tour pages so you can check any listing yourself.

The operator runs the trip, the platform takes your payment and holds your booking, and both set the price, the inclusions and the cancellation terms. We have no authority to make commitments on their behalf and cannot change, refund or reschedule anything.

What the commission does not buy

Placement, ratings and wording are not for sale, and no operator has paid to appear here or to be described in a particular way.

The practical test is on the pages themselves. The whole premise of this site is that no evening aurora tour departs from Vík, and that watching from Víkurfjara costs nothing. Telling you that first, above the tour cards, costs us bookings. The most expensive listing here, at $1,635.56, carries a paragraph pointing out that its 5.0 rating rests on nine reviews.

Ratings and reviews

Ratings and review counts are the platform's own, read on the date shown on each page: 4.3 from 96 reviews, 5.0 from 9, and 4.4 from 1,057 in August 2026. We do not calculate a rating of our own, and this site carries no aggregate rating in its markup, because the site has no reviews.

Quoted reviews keep the reviewer's first name, country and travel month as published, including the critical ones about weather cancellations and the size of the ice cave. We do not write testimonials.

Prices

Prices shown are starting prices at the time of the last check, stated on every tour page: $169.91, $1,635.56 and $182.63 per person as read in August 2026, plus $53.40 and $106.34 for the daytime activities. They move with season, group size and currency. The price that counts is the one on the checkout page before you pay.

Our research process, including which forecast sources we use, is set out in the editorial methodology.
