    Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We are delighted you enjoyed the itinerary and found us easy to deal with. We also really appreciate your comments about the tour feeling more like 3 days than 5, and your suggestion of a meet and greet before departure is a very good one. Your feedback about traveller interaction is equally valuable, and we will certainly take it on board as we continue to improve the experience.

    Can you please let me know if we would be able to book an extra nights accomodation at the start and completion of the tour (Saturday 13th and the Thursday 18th February) preferably using the same hotel or is it easier for us to book ourselves into another city hotel?

      Yes you can add both pre and post night to the tour. The price for each extra night in a double room is 92 EUR per person.

    Asked on May 23rd, 2026

    Does this tour prioritize Northern Lights views?

    Tour Details
    • Snaeland TravelOperatorWritten May 2026

      On day 2 the group is staying just outside the village Vík, on the South Coast, and if the cloud and northern lights forcast is favorable the guide takes the group out to see the northern lights. If they do not see any northern lights they will try again on day 3. We are never able to guarantee that the norther lights will be visible, since cloud coverage and weather can affect that.

    Asked on April 24th, 2026

    Can I book this tour for an 11-year-old child?

    Age Range
    • Snaeland TravelOperatorWritten April 2026

      The age of 12 is only a guideline, it is no problem to book this tour for an 11-year-old. The child does have to share a hotel room with an adult.

      We are a family of four. Would we have two double rooms for our family, or would we have to share the room with other people?

    • Snaeland TravelOperatorWritten April 2026

      You would have two private double rooms for your family.

    Diane

    Asked on February 13th, 2026

    I plan on proposing to my long-time girlfriend on this tour, hopefully under the Northern Lights, and I was hoping I could get some help with planning it out - I mean, I'm not really sure what I'm doing so... has anyone ever made a similar request?

    Tour Details
    • Snaeland TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      We would love to help you make this trip the most memorable for you and your girlfriend. We have not had this request before, but please tell us what you have in mind and we will see if we can accommodate that.

    • D

      Diane

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      The main goal of the trip is to propose under the Northern Lights. However, I know that a Northern Lights viewing is not guaranteed, so I will put a backup plan in place. It would be ideal if it could be a private tour, I mean, just the two of us, but I know that this particular tour is a group tour, so I don't know if that is possible? Otherwise, just making the moment private in some way would be great, maybe pulling us two away from the rest of the group at some point during the Northern Lights part of the tour to "discuss something."

    • Snaeland TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      It is not possible to have a private Northern Lights tour for just the two of you, since this is a group tour. The guide is able to help make this a bit more personal by pulling you two a bit away from the group, but he will of course have to keep in mind that this is a group tour. We could check with the hotel if they could prepare a small "congratulation on your engagement welcoming" in your hotel room, free of charge, when you come back from the Northern Lights tour.
