    great guide. Poor hotel in the capital city. Ice cave tour was very disappointing. The caves were so small that they were difficult to navigate and very unimpressive..

    Denise

    Asked on September 26th, 2024

    What happens if we do not see the northern lights? Is there a high percentage to see them? Can we do another similat trip if we do not see them?

    Tour Details
    • GJ TravelOperatorWritten September 2024

      Our tours have so much more on the itinerary, some must see attractions and activities. The longer you stay in Iceland the better the chances are of seeing the Northern Lights. We choose the hotels as remote as possible for this tour, so you are able to see them from the hotel garden if the conditions are right. The weather in Iceland is a big factor if you will see them or not. It is impossible for us to say in advance if you will see them or not. This tour does though have a good success rate of seeing them, around 80%. You can always book another tour with us if you do not see them, though you will need to pay for another tour.
