Why does this page have no prices?
Because we have not collected them. The site is published as a plan so the shape of the dataset can be reviewed before any figure appears. Every page is noindex until its rows exist.
Northern lights tours from Reykjavík, compared by operator
Reykjavík is the one base where the comparison pages that already rank are written by the companies selling the tours. That is the gap.
No Reykjavík operator has been checked yet. This page carries no price, no group size and no rating.
Iceland’s free-rebooking rules differ more between operators than the prices do, so the policy column is quoted rather than summarised.
From Reykjavík the aurora is sold four ways: a coach, a minibus, a boat out of the old harbour, and a super-jeep up onto the heath. They are priced differently, they carry different numbers of people, and they fail differently when the weather closes in.
The table will hold all four side by side, with the free-rebooking rule quoted from each operator’s own terms rather than paraphrased.
What this page will hold
Nothing on this page is measured yet. These are the fields we will check, where each one comes from, and how often it gets re-checked. No number is published until the first check is done.

Questions
Why not just use the Iceland comparison pages that already exist?
Most of them are written by an operator or by a marketplace selling the same tours. That is not a reason to distrust them, but it is a reason for a table whose author does not sell the tour.
Do you earn money from the links?
We may, once a programme is live. No booking link on this site is live today, and no programme we join changes which operators are listed or how they are ordered.
