Our hopes were very high and the playlist was good enough to dance a bit to keep ourselves warm, but the clouds were in the way most of the time during the tour. Unfortunately we didn't see any northern lights tonight, so we offered complimentary tickets to our passengers!
We set off and the sky was full of clouds so we headed over to Videy to look at the Imagine Peace Tower. After this point was when the northern lights started to become active. They kept appearing bright green in between gaps of cloud. As well as behind clouds too. We could see them fairly constantly for a lot of the tour at varying brightness levels.
From the start until the end we could see green northern lights above Esja, they were not always easy to see because of the clouds but were clearly appearing on our cameras and phones. The lights became stronger for 10-15 minutes getting more visible even through those clouds.
We went out in the bay, watching the yellow moon in between some clouds above Esja. We waited for the lights to come out, as patient as we could be. However, tonight was not our night, and they didn't come out for us. So we decided to give out complimentary tickets so our passengers can come back again night.
We sailed out in calm seas, away from the city lights enough to see the starry sky and eventually we saw a shooting star! We had waited for a while when we spotted a green dash on top of Esja, finally the northern lights came out and they grew stronger by the minute!
It was a beautiful night without a cloud in the sky. First the northern lights were present but very faded, barely visible for the untrained eye. Towards the end of the tour our patience was rewarded and nice green colours finally appeared in the sky with some movement and a lovely bright arch of northern lights made our night.
Great tour with northern lights dancing since the very beginning of our trip. We were very lucky with the activity, which lasted with high and lows pretty much for the entirety of the tour. The activity gradually decreased as the tour neared the end of the trip, which is when we focused our attention to the constellations on the sky!
As soon as we left the harbour we could already see the northern lights. There was a huge green arch in the sky. These lights changed in shape and brightness throughout the night but they never left our side. As forecasted, there were no clouds so this also gave us a great view of the stars and moon. On our way back we also had a look at the Imagine Peace Tower.
We sailed out under a night with a few clouds but still stars visible. Barely a few minutes in the sail a few green northern lights appeared as an arch on the right side of the boat. They got stronger in color through the clouds and finally we saw a a stronger coloured green arch that spread to a good portion of the sky.
Before out tour even started we could see the partial lunar eclipse which was so cool. A bright moon is usually not a good combination to watch the auroras, but this time the northern lights were strong enough to pierce through the moonlight. We took awesome pictures of the lights dancing, the moon and the Imagine Peace Tower together.
As we got out we could see many stars in the night sky and also had a great view of the Imagine Peace Tower as we waited patiently in hope some northern lights would appear. Unfortunately, this was not the case, so we gave out complimentary tickets so our passengers can come back again another night!
We headed out and hoped for the best. The clouds that were not supposed to be present tonight were blocking our view and although we started seeing some gaps later on, we still saw no northern lights. Unfortunately tonight was not the night, so we offered our passengers complimentary tickets as we headed back to shore!
With clear skies, we were optimistic for tonight's probability. Not long after we left the harbour, we detected an arch starting to form through our cameras. As we sailed further into the darkness, the northern lights became brighter and greener, and before we knew it a second arch had formed underneath it!
There was a slight cloud coverage tonight but we could still see the stars as we started our sail out in the bay. We headed toward mount Esja and close to the islands hoping for some activity, but the sky got more cloudy during the tour and unfortunately no northern light were seen. We therefore offered our passengers complimentary tickets!
This evening was windless and full of stars, making us hopeful that we would get lucky. We sailed out of the harbour, having a look at the beam of the Imagine Peace Tower on Viðey island. Even though the conditions were perfect tonight, the activity never picked up, so we offered our passengers complimentary tickets.
It was a silent night, we could see some stars but soon the clouds came and covered the sky. Unfortunately we weren't able to see the fantastic northern lights, so we handed out complimentary tickets to our passengers to have another opportunity to view them in the future.
There were gaps predicted in the clouds however we were not lucky enough for them to form. We enjoyed the music and hot chocolates but sadly were not successful in seeing the aurora borealis. Therefore we gave out complimentary tickets so that everyone is able to have another chance to try again.
