After a quick snow storm, we sailed out of the harbour with plenty of gaps in the cloud and some stars shining through. Soon enough, we spotted a faint green cloud and it was the northern lights! Throughout the cruise, the arch moved over the sky coming in and out of view. A fantastic evening in Faxaflói Bay.

We headed out on our cruise on a windy night with some gaps between the clouds. We could already see the northern lights between these gaps, and headed around the islands, waiting patiently for more gaps. Throughout the tour, we saw these green curtains of light between the clouds - a beautiful evening at sea.

The sky was mostly clear as we headed out, first for a nice cruise around the islands to see if we can spot any aurora. The stars were shining, and with our cameras, we could spot a faint glow, but nothing with the naked eye. So we offered complimentary tickets to our guests for the chance to try again.

Another calm and clear night, with a kp index forecast of 3/9. We headed out towards Esja, to find some shelter from the wind, and warmed up with hot chocolate as we waited for the northern lights. We had a very brief glimpse of them before they stopped again, and we decided to give our passengers complimentary tickets to try again for a better showing!

Clear skies in the bay as we left the harbour, ready for an evening at sea. On our way out, we even spotted a humpback whale at sea, as we were waiting to see if the northern lights would show up! Unfortunately, they decided not to appear tonight, and we gave our passengers complimentary tickets so everyone can try their luck again.

With a Kp Index of 3/9 and partially clouded skies forecast, we headed out full of hope into the bay. After waiting patiently, the gaps in the clouds started to increase, but unfortunately no lights were seen. Passengers were given complimentary tickets to try again on another tour!

Today we went out expecting some gaps in the sky, and a Kp Index of 3/9. The tour started off with more cloud than expected, and some snow, then the clouds started to clear! We had the northern lights! It started with a big arc in the sky, and shortly after, a second arc followed. A beautiful evening at sea.

With a kp index of 4/9, we were excited to go out this evening, with slightly clouded sky but some gaps. Sure enough, we spotted the northern lights soon after leaving the harbour, another beautiful evening at sea.

As soon as we left the harbour, we could already see an arch across the sky. Sure enough, the northern lights were dancing above us, and "exploded" at one point, visible across the whole sky. A fantastic evening at sea!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Our night started with calm seas and a starry sky. We sailed into the bay enjoying our warm drinks and the fresh winter breeze. We waited for a while before we started to see the green hues of the northern lights getting brighter and brighter!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

We went out on a beautiful clear night and the stars were shining bright. The auroras tested our patience, and it was only towards the end of the tour that the northern lights showed themselves. But boy they put a very nice show on for us!
