    • 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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    With tonight's forecast, we were optimistic and left the harbour already seeing the northern lights above us. There was a large green arch that stretched over from mt. Esja that grew, and we saw not only green auroras but also purple and even red!

    The northern lights were out in full force as we left the harbour. Amazing dancing arches and loops all over the sky. It was just amazing. For a short time the intensity decreased but then they came back and allowed for more awesome pictures.

    We were lucky to have a clear and dark sky as we went out. The northern lights were visible right as we left the harbour, so we got good opportunities for great pictures. For around an hour we enjoyed the spectacle until it started to fade away.

    With clear skies and bright stars, we headed out with high hopes. The Kp index was 2/9, meaning the aurora oval should happen over Iceland.. and sure enough, we started seeing faint northern lights above the bay that just got brighter and brighter!

    We had only just left the harbour when we saw a faint northern lights display. A long arch stretched across the sky, multiplying and even turning red. The skies were very clear, so we could see plenty of stars and soon the auroras picked up in intensity!

    We sailed under a clear sky with little to no clouds and a lot of stars. Even though we had no luck with the auroras, we had a beautiful evening. In the end, we of course offered complimentary tickets so our guest could try again another night.
