NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Report from Eldey : Tonight, the forecast looked rather promising and we sailed out with high hopes despite the cloud coverage, which was supposed to clear out throughout the tour. Conditions were pretty good : the weather was not too chilly, the moon was hidden behing the Esja mountain, we had no wind and the bay was peaceful. We could enjoy beautiful views on Reykjavik from the water. Unfortunately, the sky remained mostly cloudy the whole tour, and no aurora appeared in the patches of clear sky. We then decided to hand complimentary tickets to all the passengers that wished to come back another night to try again.
