Northern Lights: 2.5-Hr Boat Tour
About this experience
Book this northern lights boat tour with a backup plan and transport, and you'll be booked for the Whales of Iceland museum automatically if those lovely lights are hidden by bad weather.
It only takes about 15-20 minutes to sail away from the city lights of Reykjavik. Your vessel will anchor under a starry sky and you'll enjoy peace, quiet and a bobbing ocean as you wait for the northern lights to come out and play.
But, if the weather isn't on your side, no problem! You'll get to see a short film about the northern lights at the Whales of Iceland museum, displayed on a huge screen beneath a life-sized fin whale model! After the film, there's a Q&A session with your guide and a complimentary drink of your choice from the bar.
Then, just keep your ticket for the boat tour to use later. It's a win-win situation, and a whale of a time.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
