A family-run northern lights company, born and raised in Iceland

Aurora Experts is a family business, run by Icelanders who grew up under these skies. We’ve been watching them our whole lives, and taking guests out under them since 2014.
That’s the difference the whole company is built on. We know where the roads go when the forecast turns. We know which spots the tour buses queue at, and which ones they don’t know about. And we know that the night is long and cold, which is why we’re the only northern lights operator in Iceland that brings warm snowsuits and outdoor chairs on every single tour.
We’re proud recipients of TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best, awarded to the top 1% of listings worldwide. It reflects what we care about most: guests who leave happy, warm, and having actually seen the aurora.

    Cannot recommend this enough! Heimer is so passionate about the phenomenon, his energy is contagious. Loved hearing his knowledge and watching him be a ‘storm chaser.’

    This was one of the most magical experiences of my life. The best part was our host, Heimir — extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and so incredibly passionate about every single moment of the evening. His photography skills and photos were breathtaking. This has to be in the top 5 best Airbnb experiences on planet earth. 🌍

    I can’t say enough good things about Heimir and the Aurora Experts. Without Heimir’s many years of experience I believe we would have never seen the lights on our entire trip. He was so knowledgeable and personable, he made this excursion very special! If we ever go back to Iceland I would most certainly book with him again.

    Heimir is so passionate about northern lights as he was born and raised in Iceland, very knowledgeable and even a great photographer! He informed us of the weather condition and kept everything realistic and we ended up seeing the most amazing northern lights dancing in front of our eyes. I will never forget that experience!!

    Heimir is an absolutely incredible host. While I understand that seeing the lights are no guarantee, he found them for us and they put on a spectacular show. Heimir is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, he made the trip insanely fun.

    Heimir gave us one of the most magical experiences of our entire trip. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, providing warm snow suits, delicious hot chocolate, and wonderful Icelandic treats while we waited for the lights to appear. Heimir is truly a gem of a person — kind, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty of Iceland. He is also an incredible photographer.
