About this experience

Reykjavik Private Chauffeuring

Iceland is often on the bucket list of worldwide travelers, and no wonder, since the nature of this island in the North-Atlantic is one of a kind. It’s hard to find a better place to enjoy either the beautiful Northern Lights, the incredible midnight sun or the vast landscape.

What better way to enjoy Iceland and its capital, beautiful Reykjavik, than with a private chauffeur at your command. There’s no need to spend the day walking to all of the museums and many different attractions around the city. We at TripZig offer local expert driver and guides in our Toyota vehicles and we can show you around the city and/or country in style.

You can always have a driver on standby to bring you to the Blue Lagoon or to see the stunning Geysir geothermal area. Just book through our website and enjoy Iceland in the utmost comfort.



Holiday transfers

Having a holiday/vacation means resting and having a break from everything, including driving. Luckily, our company offers another option for those traveling either alone or with their family. Why not book holiday/vacation transfers with TripZig?

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 24 hours before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

If the weather cancels this tour

Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is a solid cloud forecast — most operators call it by late afternoon and let you rebook on a clearer night free of charge. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

  1. 1TripZig ehf. decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
  2. 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
  3. 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.

What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 1 day before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Sold out on your date?

Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.

Who this is not for

  • Not for late risers on your first morning — the earliest departure is 07:00, and Reykjavík pickups start before that.
  • Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

    We hired Ziggy to create a custom New Year's Even experience in/around Reykjavik and it was absolutely incredible. He took us around to the legendary bonfires (so much larger than we expected), to view some of the pre-midnight fireworks shows put on by the local search and rescue officers, and then, of course, to a front row seat at Hallgrímskirkja for the most intense fireworks show on Earth. They packed several surprises into the trip for us too: endless champagne after midnight, traditional Icelandic treats for the New Year, sparklers and flares to wave at midnight, and our own box of fireworks to join in the celebration. It was everything we hoped for and then some. We'll definitely book with them again when we come back in the summer.

    We booked a round-trip private airport transfer through TripZig from Keflavík to downtown Reykjavík. Our driver, Svanhít, was very friendly, on time and brought us straight to our hotel in central Reykjavík. We found the van that was used to be very comfortable, clean and had plenty of leg room. Our return journey back to the airport was just as efficient too. I was also happy with how responsive Svanhvít was whenever we emailed her before our trip. Based on our experience, we would happily rebook with TripZig again!

    The perfect choice for private transfers from Keflavik Airport into Reykjavik. Svanhít was our driver; on-time, friendly, and funny. A great choice to avoid some of the higher-fare taxi services that operate in the area. Will definitely use their services again, and I can fully recommend!

Northern lights — questions people ask

When is the best time to see the northern lights in Iceland?

September to April, when the nights are dark enough. Within that, late September to March gives the longest dark hours, and the equinox months, September and March, often have active skies. There are no lights in June or July; the sky never gets dark. Anyone selling you a June lights tour is selling you a bus ride. Give yourself at least three nights, because clouds, not the aurora, are the usual reason people miss them.

Are the northern lights guaranteed on a tour?

No. Nobody can promise them, and we will not. Two things have to line up: a clear sky and solar activity. Guides check the cloud forecast at vedur.is and drive to gaps, which is the real value of a tour over standing outside your hotel. What most operators do promise is a free second attempt if the lights do not show. Check the exact retry policy on the tour page, because the number of retries and the validity period vary.

Is a northern lights bus tour or a boat tour better?

Bus, if you want the best odds. A minibus can drive an hour inland to find a clear patch; a boat stays in Faxaflói and sees whatever sky is over Reykjavík. Boats are shorter, about two hours, and pleasant with hot chocolate, and Reykjavik Sailors' cruise (/experience/6637/) includes a free retry. For a serious hunt, a small-group minibus like BusTravel's (/experience/150646/) or a 4x4 tour (/experience/1088067/) is the better bet.

Can I see the northern lights from Reykjavík itself?

Yes, on strong nights. The city is small and the sky over the sea to the north is fairly dark. Grótta lighthouse at the western tip and the Ægisíða shoreline are the usual spots, twenty minutes' walk from the centre. On average nights the street lights drown out a faint aurora, which is why tours drive out. If the forecast shows high activity and clear sky, walk to Grótta first and save the tour money.
