About this tour

Join Your Friend In Reykjavik for a combo of our Reykjavik Food Lovers tour and then straight afterward hunt for the Northern Lights by Boat

When doing a Reykjavik food tour, don’t you want to try out the truly authentic food from Iceland?

With our selection of local food treats you can check off a lot of things on your Icelandic food bucket list, and you sure won’t be disappointed with the quality of the restaurants we handpicked as our partners.

One of the best things about doing a food tour is getting a sense of the history of the country while eating something delicious & exciting.

All our guides are experts and graduates from the Tour guide school of Iceland, but more importantly, they know how to entertain and educate at the same time.

  • Try delicious traditional foods from Iceland
  • A Small-group tour, limited to 12 people, ensures a personal experience
  • Get a sense of the history of Iceland while eating something delicious
  • The walk is good to get oriented in the old Reykjavik city center
  • Expert Fun Loving Local Guides so you can ask us anything
  • Tips on Food, Fun & Drink for the rest of our stay in Reykjavik
  • We do accommodate dietary restrictions & allergies such as gluten & lactose intolerance, vegetarians & more! Keep in mind though that traditional Icelandic food is meat, fish, and dairy.

We end our delicious food journey down by the Reykjavik Harbor and that's exactly the starting point of the Northern Light Hunt by Sea.

Hunting the northern lights from the ocean is an amazing experience; sailing away from the coastline of Reykjavik and seeing the aurora borealis out on the North-Atlantic ocean with beautiful mountains and the city in the background is something you won’t forget!

At 9 pm you sail out from the Old Harbour, AEgisgardur 2, 101 Reykjavík and in only 15-20 minutes we will be in a prime location away from the city lights, perfect for viewing the auroras! The guide will share with you facts on the science behind the magical phenomenon of the Northern Lights, and tell you about their stories & myths from different cultures around the world. The tour takes about 2 hours depending on how early/late the lights might appear.

We recommend using the warm blankets that will keep you nice and cozy out on the deck, listening to what the guide has to say about the lovely colors dancing in the sky.
