Top Reykjavik Night Cruises

Watch the skies above Faxaflói Bay light up on a 2.5-hour northern lights cruise from Reykjavík aboard a comfortable sightseeing vessel. Learn the science behind the aurora borealis during a short multimedia presentation at the Whale Watching Centre, then wrap up in a warm overall and head out on the water. Enjoy unobstructed panoramas of the water and sky from a viewing deck, or slip into the heated, indoor lounge for warm drinks. Leave the city lights of Reykjavík far behind, and take in Iceland’s finest show from the sea.

Enjoy a special way to hunt for the Northern Lights when you set off an evening boat tour from Reykjavik. Once the night sets in, make your own way to the waterfront departure point, hop aboard your vessel, and keep your eyes to the skies: your guide will do everything they can to help you discover the Northern Lights. As you go, you can also admire the coastline, look out for wildlife, and order from the on-board café.

Embark on a one-of-a-kind yacht cruise along the Reykjavik coast—and look out for the Aurora Borealis—on this evening tour. Make your own way to the waterfront start point, hop aboard your vessel, and get cozy with blankets on the deck (or warm up in the inside area). As you go, look out for the Northern Lights, and sip a drink from the on-board café (additional expense).
