About Gray Line Iceland
Direct Operator · Operates in Reykjavík
Major operator with classic aurora and combo products. Also on GYG and Guide to Iceland.
Before you book
Aurora sightings are weather-dependent and cannot be guaranteed by anyone. Routes are chosen on the night from the real-time forecast and cloud cover. Check the live conditions before your departure — and if tonight looks poor, a tour with a free retry costs you nothing to postpone.
How we make money: some booking links on this page are affiliate links — if you book through them we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes the price you pay, and it does not decide which tours we list: every tour here is checked by hand and ranked on group size, retry policy and what is actually included. We do not sell tours or process payments; booking and cancellation are handled by the operator.
For the daylight hours
Aurora tours fill your evenings. These are popular day tours from Reykjavík, booked on the same sites.

- Golden Circle & Kerið Crater, small group Þingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss plus the Kerið crater lake, in one full day from Reykjavík. See on Viator
- Golden Circle with lunch at Friðheimar The classic three stops in a small group, with lunch included at the Friðheimar tomato greenhouse. See on Viator
- Classic whale watching from the Old Harbour Elding’s daytime cruise on Faxaflói Bay, leaving from central Reykjavík. Runs in winter too. See on Viator
- 3 days: Golden Circle, ice cave & glacier lagoon Two nights in hotels, the South Coast and Jökulsárlón in a small group. Not an aurora tour: no guided hunt, though you may see the lights if a night clears. See on Viator
