Reykjavik, Reykjavik, Iceland If you wish to join a northern light hunt with me you are in good hands. Finding the northern lights is one of my expertise and I have great knowledge of them and to predict the strength and likelihood of what we will see. Although the outcome is still in the hands of mother nature and nothing can be promised. I will be upfront and honest about the likelihood of seeing them on any given night, for you to cancel or go under my suggestions. I am as well capable of taking pictures of you with the lights that you can bring home to show your families and friends.
The visibility of the Northern lights is dependent on weather, such as cloud coverage and activity of the lights. Pre-briefing will be held 3 hours before departure, where I will explain our chances and what to expect. In accordance with the briefing you can go one with the tour or schedule for another night. Pre briefing will be sent by Email after last update on cloud cover shortly after 18:00. Expectations are different by people and the Northern lights vary a lot from being a marvelous display to being faint and only visible to a camera for example.
Public transportation options are available nearby

Thor was simply amazing, the chances were so low, cloudy night. Yet, Thor managed to find a nice window of opportunity where the lights and vista opened up to me and my wife. He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable, the wind doesn't feel so cold anymore. Thank you Thor !
p.s.: There is even a song about Thor and the northern lights !!

We came to Iceland specifically to see the northern lights. Our first scheduled tour with another company got cancelled. And based on what we learned from other travelers, pretty much all tours were getting cancelled every night due to weather. Then we found Thor!! He let us know that chances of seeing lights were low, but if we still wanted to go he would take us. SO glad we did! He is a true light hunter and methodically checked the forecast, radars, etc to figure out where to take us for the best chances. And he found them!! We watched a spectacular show in the sky, and he took incredible photos for us with his professional camera. We ended up seeing the lights in three different locations and he stayed out very late with us to ensure that we saw as much of the lights as possible and got all the photos we wanted. If you are going to try and see the lights drop everything and only book Thor!!

Just want to share my experience as might help. We just returned from Iceland. My dream was to see the Northern lights since forever so as you imagine was very important for me to see them. Our chances were kind of low as was cloudy almost every night. We took a bus tour, but not only we didn't see anything but was not what we were hoping for so did not rebooked it. Our last chance of seeing was the last night so we decided to go with a more private tour, although more expensive but when you think how much you spend to see the lights and disappointment of not seeing them is not worth it. So we took the tour with Iceland In Motion and we had the most amazing time. Thor knows what he's doing and if there is something on the sky he'll find it for sure. He took us to a very nice area and moved like 3 times every time they faded for us to see a bit more.
So, don't go cheap on NL tours, do on everything else but follow your dream????
