- Our guide was very friendly, took us to a few locations to try and get the best out of our experience. He also helped us with the required camera settings to take some great photosread moreread lessGetYourGuide traveler09/11/21Even though we didn’t get to see the lights, the guide was great. He communicated very well and was knowledgeable on the best places to see them.read moreread lesswaterandheadphones13/11/23Exceptional day Magnificent views... And those geysers... Ready to photograph them and they still made me jump! Back home with new photos of this ride, I'm delighted! What made this day even better was the friendliness of the driver. They had promised us an encounter with the Icelandic horses and he gave it to us. I thought I had to pay the entrance to the crater but it had been done by the driver, it was very pleasant to travel with him. The change of schedule from 10 a.m. to 8:30/9 a.m. scared me a little but in the end, it went well...read moreread lessMarlène09/10/19I haven't even travelled with GotoJoy yet but just wanted to comment on how great they've been already.

Our guide Maggie was fantastic being very knowledgeable and clearly having a desire to make the experience memorable to us all. My wife has terminal cancer this was one of her bucket list things to do but she is limited in what she can and cannot do Maggie was superb in making her feel comfortable and part of the overall experience.

We had to wait for a while but they did come out to see us. The guide was great, knew exactly where to go and what to look out for. On the drive out, he told us how to get the best pictures using our phones, which was good otherwise I would have photos of a lot of nothing. I would thoroughly recommend this trip.read moreread lessChristine H23/11/21
- First of all I tried to seek the northern lights on my own at first and although I saw them, it was a mediocre experience. So I booked a tour and it was SO worth it. The guide (MM) was very knowledgeable, a true expert and we had an amazing experience. We saw a great display DESPITE the Kp forecast and and had the luck to not have any cancellations. Do not freak out when tours are canceled, as the guides are experts and do it for the client’s sake. There are many factors going to an aurora display. Overall I felt it was more than worth it and feel grateful for having a guide like this!read moreread lessMarkos Tetradis06/03/22An excellent night Can't control the weather or the phenomenon but we lucked out and had an excellent night for viewing. Set expectations with kids that you may not see anything! The tour guide did a very good job of explaining and setting expectations as well as giving tips for setting up phones for taking pictures of the Aurora. I would suggest looking up how to take the pictures before you go and taking a tripod if you have one. Apple phones worked better than android as there was an app. The guide also took group and individual pictures for us (for a fee). Dress warmly as you don't know how long you'll be out. A memorable experience!read moreread lessIvorykay18/12/22

Our tour guide Maggi (like the soup) called to inform us that he would be picking us up in 20 minutes. (7:30pm Instead of 8:30pm) I'm so glad that he did as we experienced an incredible show that lasted for about 1 hour until the clouds came over.

TOTALLY RECOMMENDED, AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! Our tour guide "Triple-M" is an experienced lights hunter and it showed-- after almost a week of cancelling tours nightly due to unfavorable weather conditions, the day we arrived in Iceland (Tue Nov 23) we booked this tour and they contacted us a while later to let us know the tour was on that same night! After picking us up, Triple-M told us about all about his experience, he went brand-by-brand walking us thru how to set up our phones for a best shot at the aurora, and explained the importance of minding wind direction and the direction the clouds are moving in... so that even with the inevitable moonlight, he would pick a spot where he'd take us, and we arrived JUST IN TIME... As we were close to his chosen spot, from inside the tour bus we could already see the lights forming in the horizon! We finally got there and jumped out of the bus to see the bright green lights fully formed, so he instantly set up his professional camera and started shooting! We all took pics with our phones, but the picture that is truly worth it is the one Triple-M took of us with the northern lights in the background... 20 minutes later the lights were gone, but we stayed another 1-2 hours just in case they popped up again, which they did not... and in those two hours we saw another 2-3 tour buses show up to NOT see the lights... we were the only ones that got there in time!!! ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE... and it was easily 75% thanks to our tour guide... THANK YOU TRIPLE-M!!read moreread lessRob A28/11/21
- Amazing and informative experience An amazing experience. Maggi, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the Northern Lights. He genuinely wanted us all to get an opportunity to see the lights and if it wasn’t for his expertise we could have missed them. He helped us all with our cameras and phone settings so that we could get the best possible photos. If you wish to do a tour like this, you must be prepared to be patient and wait as this is a natural phenomenon. It can take 5 hours easily and nothing is more frustrating than 1 person forcing a whole group back early as this can be a once in a lifetime opportunity. We can fully recommend our tour guide and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.read moreread lessCCJE15/11/22An awesome day tour of the Golden Circle, and then a magical night seeing the Aurora Borealis.

Makrem was great in the knowledge and sights he took us to in search of the northern lights. He is a great representative for the company.
Would highly recommend booking through Go to joy Iceland.read moreread lessKaps Kerai12/11/19Incredible Northern Lights ADVENTURE Oh, where to even begin!?! Maggi is just the best! This tour was an incredibly special and intimate look into the incredible Northern Lights. This is a HUNT! I think many folks just assume you drive 20 minutes and the lights are just there - NO. This is a legit outdoor ADVENTURE - and it's incredible. Maggi is one of the most honest, genuine, incredible people we had the pleasure to meet. You can tell that hunting for these lights is his absolute passion and he gives this trip his all. Not only does he drive the van and act as tour guide, he is hunting for these lights the entire time (WHICH IS SUPER HARD WORK), ensuring your group has the most magical time possible. He's essentially doing the work of three people; it's amazing. If you're expecting a short, concise trip - don't go and don't waste Maggi's energy. If you're in search of an adventure with an incredibly talented human being, do yourself a favor and book. We appreciate you more than you know, Maggi! You were the highlight of our trip :). -Lisa + Lindsayread moreread lessLisa S24/01/23Fabulous tour A small bus tour was absolutely a great decision. Our guide was great. He actually was tracking the atmospheric conditions on his phone and knew when the lights were starting which allowed us to pull of the road immediately and watch the lights. We saw the big bus tours whiz by and they could not do do what our tour did. Then we went to second location, also not suited to a large bus and had a second great show. I realize that whether one sees the lights or not is something not in the control of the tours, as they are truly a force of nature but our tour made the most of a wonderful showing of the Northern Lights. I would rebook this tour without any hesitation.read moreread lessChuck1182902/10/22Chikane Rapporteringside Din konto vil blive deaktiveret.

In fact, my tour was cancelled the first day, rebooked for the second day, then cancelled again. So why the five stars? The company was very responsive and alerted me in plenty of time. Booking ANY tour that depends on the weather is very risky, especially in Iceland. I will definitely use them on my next trip.

The small group makes it more personal and a better experience than the bigger companies. I’d recommend a smaller tour group, the big ones are generic and don’t hang around at the end of the evening, whereas with our tour we were out MUCH later than the bigger tours hunting and it was WORTH it!

This was a bucket list item for us so we were so pleased to see the Northern Lights! Our guide Maggi did a great job of setting our expectations and teaching us how the aurora borealis is forecasted. He helped us set up our phones so that we could get nice pictures of the lights and he took our photos with them as well on his professional camera and gave them to us for a small fee. He also explained that different people can see different levels of color in the northern lights. In the pictures here, I could see all of these lights as shapes but they all looked pale green to me. My husband was able to see some red in them. It was so fun to look at the pictures after and recognize the shapes we had been seeing but in full color. Maggi turned me into a pro as I was able to spot them on my own on our last night as we were driving into Reykjavik from a different tour. Maggi was also kind enough to personally drop off my husband's beanie to us that he had left behind on the van. We would highly recommend going with this company to see the aurora borealis!

We wanted a shorter duration tour as we had a dinner reservation for the evening and this tour suited us at just over 6hours. The time flew by however and we saw all of the sights including the geysers too and spent the right time at each location to get the pictures and selfies we wanted. Our tour guide and driver was great and he kept us safe despite the awful driving conditions but i guess Icelanders are used to it...not like us Brits! we really enojed our day and the smaller group minibus was defo better for us so we wasnt waiting to long for others. The volcano crate walk well worth ot and great end to the trip but you do have to pay 400ISK each to get in (only about £2.50 each so not going to break the bank).

We landed at 7am and were able to find the shuttle pickup by 10am (after dropping luggage at our hotel). It ended up being a very small group, but perfect for a first day. Our guide was great, playing recorded narratives as we passed sights, and adding to them or further indicating what they were referring to. He answered questions, and was knowledgeable and low-key. Of course it would have been nice to spend some more time at some sights, but we found it a fair trade off for seeing so much (including the crater lake and a stop to see ponies!) in one day.
The drop-offs and meet-ups at each site were very well orchestrated to efficiently explore. I only regret falling asleep on the bus so I missed some of the commentary during the last leg!

He made everything so easy for us. He even took an extra stop so we could see the Icelandic horses as he could see us and the other passengers we were with kept looking at the horses out the window. He was also very informative during the trip and we learnt a lot about Iceland’s history. Would definitely recommend this tour as other Golden Circle tours usually only offer the National Park, Gullfoss waterfall and the Geysir but this one also included Faxi waterfall and Kerid crater. Magnus also made the tour more fun and personalised. His driving was very professional and safe along the dangerous icy mountain roads, did not feel unsafe at any point on the journey. Also he went out of his way to bring us our gloves back as we had left them in the minibus. 10/10.read moreread lessLaura24/01/19Fantastic experience Fantastic experience.

Did the driver spot the Northern Lights and immediately stop so everyone could see the lights. The driver was very nice and seemed very competent. Compared to other companies where there was a fixed time of 3.5 hours, which was always adhered to, the driver with this provider stated a time period of 3.5 to 5 hours when picking up. After we had little luck, we were able to see the beautiful northern lights on the way back. The driver also used the entire 5 hours, I think with the provider we had used the days before we wouldn't have seen the lights.read moreread lessGetYourGuide traveler27/02/24

Our guide Maggie was fantastic being very knowledgeable and clearly having a desire to make the experience memorable to us all. My wife has terminal cancer this was one of her bucket list things to do but she is limited in what she can and cannot do Maggie was superb in making her feel comfortable and part of the overall experience.

Excellent service, highly recommended!read moreread lessVanessa Beer22/11/19Experienced tour guide made all the difference!! TOTALLY RECOMMENDED, AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! Our tour guide "Triple-M" is an experienced lights hunter and it showed-- after almost a week of cancelling tours nightly due to unfavorable weather conditions, the day we arrived in Iceland (Tue Nov 23) we booked this tour and they contacted us a while later to let us know the tour was on that same night! After picking us up, Triple-M told us about all about his experience, he went brand-by-brand walking us thru how to set up our phones for a best shot at the aurora, and explained the importance of minding wind direction and the direction the clouds are moving in... so that even with the inevitable moonlight, he would pick a spot where he'd take us, and we arrived JUST IN TIME... As we were close to his chosen spot, from inside the tour bus we could already see the lights forming in the horizon! We finally got there and jumped out of the bus to see the bright green lights fully formed, so he instantly set up his professional camera and started shooting! We all took pics with our phones, but the picture that is truly worth it is the one Triple-M took of us with the northern lights in the background... 20 minutes later the lights were gone, but we stayed another 1-2 hours just in case they popped up again, which they did not... and in those two hours we saw another 2-3 tour buses show up to NOT see the lights... we were the only ones that got there in time!!! ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE... and it was easily 75% thanks to our tour guide... THANK YOU TRIPLE-M!!read moreread lessRob A28/11/21Absolutely 5* + couldn’t of asked for a better experience for my partners 30th Birthday.

- AMAZING! Me, my mum and my sister came over from Scotland and went on the small Northen Lights Tour on the 23/12/2021 with tour guide Makrem. He was absolutely amazing! Waiting for the beautiful Aurora Borealis to show up is a waiting game but Makrem kept us entertained and was very helpful when it came to adjusting cameras and phones to get the perfect shot. Genuinely lots of fun and can't recommend Makrem enough!read moreread lessShannon G01/01/22Good experience We saw the northern lights and everything was okay. After seeing the lights for a short time, other passengers were eager to go home, even through the lights were still on. Which I think was a shame. I felt like the other passengers just wanted to tick a list -seen it-done that, instead of enjoying the northern lights. In a way I felt a pressure on me, even though the driver said he wanted everybody to be happy before leaving.read moreread lessDiscover65224831/10/22An amazing experience! This was a bucket list item for us so we were so pleased to see the Northern Lights! Our guide Maggi did a great job of setting our expectations and teaching us how the aurora borealis is forecasted. He helped us set up our phones so that we could get nice pictures of the lights and he took our photos with them as well on his professional camera and gave them to us for a small fee. He also explained that different people can see different levels of color in the northern lights. In the pictures here, I could see all of these lights as shapes but they all looked pale green to me. My husband was able to see some red in them. It was so fun to look at the pictures after and recognize the shapes we had been seeing but in full color. Maggi turned me into a pro as I was able to spot them on my own on our last night as we were driving into Reykjavik from a different tour. Maggi was also kind enough to personally drop off my husband's beanie to us that he had left behind on the van. We would highly recommend going with this company to see the aurora borealis! This was our favorite part of our trip!read moreread lessLindsey K24/09/23Excellent service Good hotel helpful all the hotel staff, everyone is nice here and welcomes the guests.

The driver/tour guide Makram was very kind and informative. In the middle of the tour some other people driving a rental car had problems with the car and the snow blocking the road so we had to stop and our Guide was working in the cars outside in the brutal weather, trying to keep us Dave and moving.

The weather was brutal, on part of the tour we had the most intense rainfall I had ever experienced, with my waterproof coat going from grey to black and water literally pouring down our faces! His jolly and friendly demeanour made this trip, his enthusiasm just kept the spirits up. We saw a bit of Thingvellir, Geysir (inactive) and Strokkur which shoots water up to 25m, Gullfoss (waterfall) which was huge and Kerid Crater. Photos honestly don't do it justice, it's immense and it's eerie and beautiful. My husband and I were the knly ones who ventured all the way down, no one else wanted to get out of the minivan anymore. We luckily bumped into a girl who kindly took photos of us, it was fabulous.

Our guide was great. He actually was tracking the atmospheric conditions on his phone and knew when the lights were starting which allowed us to pull of the road immediately and watch the lights. We saw the big bus tours whiz by and they could not do do what our tour did. Then we went to second location, also not suited to a large bus and had a second great show. I realize that whether one sees the lights or not is something not in the control of the tours, as they are truly a force of nature but our tour made the most of a wonderful showing of the Northern Lights. I would rebook this tour without any hesitation.read moreread lessChuck1182902/10/22
