Response from Host , Mar 2020
Thank you for your review and recommendation.
We are delighted that you got to see the Northern Lights on our tour.
It is true that Northern Lights tours are weather dependent but we strive to do best by our customers and we go out hunting for the Northern Lights if we believe we can find and see them.
We hope the photos will warm your hearts and bring back memories for years to come.
Kind regards

We couldn't have asked for more. The guide told us all the science behind the phenomenon which was interesting. Then we waited. We got even more than predicted, 3 times!! Amazing dancing lights

Amazing tour! It was clear our guide wouldn’t have gone out on the tour if he wasn’t sure there was a chance to see the lights. He was so knowledgeable about them and gave us lots of information. We saw the lights and it was incredible! The hot chocolate after was an extra treat. Our guide also was happy to take lots of photos with his camera and share them with us.

Great Northern Lights adventure. we were originally scheduled for the following night - got an email from operator asking if we could switch because the next few days' trips were expected to be cancelled for weather, so they were able to accommodate us coming that night. Driver knew everything there is to know about the northern lights and was very helpful getting pictures

We did a stop over in Iceland and originally were going to Iceland in late August then Europe but switched order to be hopefully able to see the Northern lights, which start in September. We were not disappointed and boy what a show. Our guide did a great job of explaining all about the lights. He also did a good tutorial on camera settings. Glad my husband had a "real" camera as I didn't know that my I phone cant capture the images. So bring a real camera and tripod and dress warmly. Our guide also posted his pics so if you dont have a camera you will have pics

If you go to Iceland, you have to see the northern lights! Its a big thing! So that is why we booked this tour. We received a confirmation in the day that the tour was a go and they would pick us up. That was great. The bad part is that this tour should have never been operated and should have been cancelled. Our guide was friendly and prompt with the pickup, but as soon as we were all picked up, he dropped a bomb on us. "You are not going to see the Northern Lights tonight". He explained his passion for the northern lights and that he knows everything about them. He continued to tell us it is too light out at midnight and there is a 0 chance we will see them. But that we will "still try!". He explained that he had never seen them until the end of August in his entire life, yet they still offer the tours months before you even have a chance.
In addition, Iceland has a northern lights forecast web page that shows the likelihood of seeing the lights and where the clouds are. It also said 0% chance of seeing the lights, yet again, they still operated the tour. We spent the evening driving around to a few places we couldn't see really because it was dark. It was also too dark to take any photos. Everyone on the bus was upset and fell asleep during the tour. Overall it was just a waste of time.
A tour should not continue if they admit there is a 0% chance of seeing the lights and instead will just drive you around to look at things you cant really even see in the dark.
Dont book this tour unless it is late September or later and look at the weather yourself so you can cancel or reschedule as they will not offer that option to you.
Response from Host , Aug 2019
Thank you for writing this review for us.
We were very disappointed to read that your experience of the Midnight Adventure tour was negative as your main reason for doing it was to view the Northern Lights.
On our company web site, it is very clearly explained that the Midnight Adventure Northern Lights tour doesn’t operate until after 1st September as that is when the sky becomes dark enough to see them.
Prior to this date, our web site explains that the Midnight Adventure tour is the SUMMER TOUR which is designed to see the sunset of the midnight sun, plus other features of the Reykjanes Peninsula displayed in the midnight sun and semi-darkness of the Icelandic summer.
As a result of your review, we checked the information on the Viator site and found that it did not accurately match our company descriptions – and is in fact misleading. We are now in the process of working with Viator to correct this mistake. Until the Viator description has been corrected, we have now stopped accepting bookings for this trip from this site.
We kindly request you to please contact us directly via email so that we can follow up your complaints in a more personal matter. You can find our contact details on the Iceland Everywhere Tours web site.
Best regards
Staff of Iceland Everywhere
