Important information

Please note that there is an approx. 10 minute walk from the reception area to the boat docking area. This is a scenic walk where you will have a great view over the beautiful Fjallsárlón glacier lagoon and Fjallsjökull glacier. The walk is on gravel so people that have difficulty walking might need assistance. In certain weather conditions, we may need to reduce the number of people in each boat as a safety measure. In these extreme cases, large groups may need to be divided between boats or between departure times.

Group bookings

This is an exclusive tour with only three Aurora huts available for each night and a maximum of six people, two people in each hut. For groups of more than six people, it would be best to divide the group so that six people can join the tour each night.
