Northern Lights Diary

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

With some gaps in the clouds, we set out into the bay and soon saw some faint northern lights over mt. Esja. While they grew a bit in strength, they soon faded away, so we handed out complimentary tickets so our guests could try again another night.

With clear skies and a light breeze, we were excited to see the night unfold. We admired the city view and shooting stars as we sailed out into the bay, but unfortunately the auroras never showed themselves, so we issued complimentary tickets.

Tonight we were expecting a Kp index of 1-2/9 and while there were a few clouds, they quickly moved away and over the city. From the minute we started the tour, we could already see northern lights that faded in and out throughout the night.

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

We sailed out with a good forecast, but the clouds were giving us a hard time with small gaps. At one point we could see a little patch of northern lights, but they were only visible through the camera, so as we sailed back home, we issued complimentary tickets.

We had barely sailed out of the harbour when we had the northern lights to our left and Reykjavík city to our right. There were 2 arches visible, one above the other, stretching over mt. Esja. We saw different shapes and swirls going from green to red!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

We set sail into fairly calm seas, with a moderate wind and a sky mostly covered by high clouds. After waiting patiently, a band of northern lights appeared! Faint at first, barely visible to the naked eye, when suddenly the sky exploded into colour!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

We had northern lights the minute we sailed out of the harbour, on both sides of the boat! A nice green arch stretched above the night sky and a green patch above mt. Esja. As the tour went on, they even changed shapes a few times!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Tonight we were expecting an activity 3/9 on the Kp index. The sky would be mostly clear and we could see loads of stars! As we sailed out and our eyes started adjusted to the darkness, we could see the northern lights starting to get strong!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

We had a lovely windy night that blew away the clouds and opened the sky for us. The northern lights revealed themselves, first with a green glow that formed an arch that soon became stronger. We also saw a bit of dancing and different colours.

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

The sky was clear as we went out of the harbour with the northern lights already shining above us. We enjoyed the views all throughout the tour and were able to take wonderful pictures. We had an arch all across the sky as we sailed back!

Due to unfavorable weather conditions, we have decided to cancel the Northern Lights Cruise tonight!

The forecast was pretty good this evening - high activity on the Kp index, and gaps in the clouds. We waited patiently for the auroras to appear, but unfortunately they never did, so all our guests were offered complimentary tickets to try again!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

The tour started and ended with a starry sky filled with northern lights activity! We saw all shapes and sizes, in all shades and colours. A massive corona formed just above us and stayed there for a few minutes, making a few necks a bit sore.

We didn't even have to leave the harbour before we saw the northern lights! They were green and red, which is a very rare colour to witness. The auroras were visible during the whole tour and at one point they appeared overhead - it was beautiful!

Tonight we had clear skies and calm seas. The moment we left the city behind us, we could truly admire the spectacle before us. The sky was filled with northern lights in many shapes that we got to enjoy for the duration of the whole tour!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

The forecast promised nice gaps in the clouds and a good KP-index. We had to have a little patience, but after a while the northern lights showed up. Unfortunately they were very faint, so we decided to hand out complimentary tickets!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Not long after we sailed out, we saw northern lights through the clouds above Akrafjall mountain. They lingered for a bit but as they never got stronger, we decided to gave out complimentary tickets so our guests can join us again another night. 

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Tonight, the KP index was a 3/9, and before we even sailed out of the harbour we could already see northern lights! At one point they were fading, but the sky gave us bright stars, constellations, and a very long and visibly burning shooting star as compensation.
