About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- atomt20240 contributionsAwesome experience!I went out with Bragi on 9/12/24 and it was an awesome trip! He was fast with his replies and very punctual! He will pick you up at your Reykjavik hotel. Though the weather was so cloudy, he managed to move places to catch the gaps between the clouds to show me those beautiful northern lights! He is a great photographer by the way. Totally passionate and professional in his work! You will not regret engaging him to be your Northern Lights guide!Written 10 December 2024
- K7581GHstephaniel0 contributionsAmazing experience!We had an amazing experience with Bragi! He was extremely knowledgeable, in all things Iceland and northern lights. We were ready to give up but he refused to let us and we ended up having an amazing show. Thank you for the amazing experience Bragi!Written 2 December 2024
- NICKYNACKYN000 contributionsNo better choice in Iceland A+++++I am staggered to see the other review, as this clearly does not match the experience I had with the most friendliest and attentive people you could wish to meet On my trip I left one of my gloves in the car…it was dark, I made a mistake Most companies would just disregard, but oh no, Bragi contacted me, and arranged to drop it off at my hostel the very next day, and accepted no gift as a thank you Bragi really knows his Iceland, how to navigate to the best places, arrange your composition and helps coach and guide you, enabling you to capture your moment in a lifetime Considering the 1 star review has only ever posted one review - this one, I can only assume it’s someone with an axe to grind, or is upto mischief Please read the other feedback from customers for a more believable insight into the merits of this very hardworking and exceptional small company Trust with confidence A++++++Written 27 November 2024
- VS P0 contributionsNever again!!!Iceland is stunning, but I don’t recommend this company. The tour was poorly organized, with delays and an unprofessional guide. I booked with another company afterward, and the experience was fantastic. Look for alternatives to truly enjoy your trip. Never again!!Written 25 November 2024
- whiddenf0 contributionsTerrific Guide. Beyond knowledgable & passionate. 100% would recommendWhen he says 93% guarantee of seeing the lights, Bragi is not joking. With his expertise and a bit of luck, we saw lights that were a "once in 5 year event". Stunning colors, great eye. Highly helpful with guiding me for night sky photography and getting the right shots. 10/10 would recommend for best chance to see anything good.Written 7 November 2023
- I4049PDgracec0 contributionsIncredible ExperienceI’m so grateful for Bragi and his efforts to give us the best northern lights experience. We tried for multiple days for a clear view, and he was so encouraging when we were almost ready to give up! The results were a spectacular memory, enjoyable company and beautiful photos. Thank you Bragi!!Written 30 May 2023
- danielontherun0 contributionsExcellent experience of "lost and found" despite the horrible weather !Bragi was a champ. He really is. We had sudden turn of bad weather that resulted to multiple road closures, thick show with strong gusts, no auroras, there were no ice on the diamond beach, neither the glacier was showing us its best; Welcome to the land of fire and ice lol.. BUT here's the thing, the trip was extremely memorable because Bragi made it special. My wife and I decided to take multiple packages, including the photography package for our pictures being taken, there were no regrets the pictures turn out stunning. Bragi made up for the "lost" time and opportunity with additional photoshoot on his own personal time (even though bad weather wasn't his fault at all) and we "found" many secret picture spots that are gems for phtographers. Those were not the only things that were "lost & found". I am already contemplating to do a complete Ring Road with Bragi soon.Written 5 April 2023
- ML23travel0 contributionsThe best!!!Odinn made our holiday in Iceland memorable! If ever we are to come back, we will definitely seek his services again! Highly recommended! He is the best! Very nice, cheerful, professional, kind and he really finds a way to make your visit count and worthwhile. We had beautiful and exceptional photos from our trip which Odinn took. Our experience in Iceland was perfect and we have Odinn to thank for. Highly recommended!Written 29 March 2023
- dayanesm0 contributionsGreat tripEast West was amazing . Got to see the lights dancing and the pics are amazing . The tour guide was nice and very accommodating. He loves what he does.Written 26 March 2023
- marie michelle f0 contributionsGreat experience!!Our tour guide was great.He made the impossible to make sure that we saw the Northern Lights even though the forecast was against us.Very friendly and knowledgeable.Can’t wait to see the family pictures he took of us.Overall a great experience.Written 21 March 2023
- nicolesjourneys0 contributionsNorthern Lights Photography TourWe had a wonderful experience on our Northern Lights tour with Arctic Shots. We arrived in Reykavik on November 18 for a 9 night trip and were lucky enough to see the lights our first night! I arranged the trip through Braggi and he monitored the weather and aurora possibility in advance. Odinn took over as our guide and photographer. While I am a somewhat experienced photographer I do not do a lot of night photography. Odinn showed me how to focus my camera in the dark as well as the settings I should use to capture the lights. He also taught us how to recognize the start of the lights which was hugely helpful on the rest of our trip and we ended up seeing the lights at least 4 more times on this trip. Odinn also took photos of us which was very nice and included in the cost. We highly recommend this tour!Written 29 November 2022
- Pig_On_Wings0 contributionsThese guys are the real dealBragi and Odinn really went above and beyond to give us the best chance possible of catching the Northern Lights! Having been travelling in Iceland for two weeks already under less than ideal conditions, we were not hopeful of seeing the lights before heading home. The last two nights we had available for the tour was tricky, as the forecast was not great (one day had low activity, but the other day had high activity but risk of cloud cover). Bragi really monitored the situation throughout the day, and kept in close contact with us while we were out travelling. At the last minute he made the call that we should go the same day, as he was not confident about the next day. This was contrary to what other websites were telling us, but what a good call it was! The lights put on a spectacular show for us… it was completely unreal. We travelled in a small group with just another couple, which made it very personalised and intimate. Our guide, Odinn, an extremely talented photographer in his own right, really helped us find the best spot. I was such a “noob” and he was patient to teach me the correct settings on my camera and how to set up the shots. He even took really fantastic photos of us WITH the lights. These guys really are professionals in what they do, and I cannot recommend them enough! P/S: What I have learnt is that the lights are unpredictable and elusive, so do give them a few dates to work with so they can plan for the best opportunity. Also be spontaneous and be willing to change your plans.Written 24 November 2022
- Aneil B0 contributionsGreat Experience and Photographs!Great communication, planning, ensured we saw the northern lights and got some spectacular shots!…..Written 11 November 2022
- cathywR7221AJ0 contributionsWonderful Northern Lights ExperienceBragi is just terrific! This was my second trip to Iceland and I immediately reached out to Bragi to book a Northern lights hunt/photo shoot— because my experience five years ago was absolutely amazing. And he did not disappoint! Even though it was cloudy and there were some questions about when/where we’d be able to see the lights… Or even if we would be able to see them… Bragi persevered and found us a great location to view and photograph. He also helped me learn my new camera, canon R5 and we spend a lovely part day on the peninsula Exploring the amazing sites so close to Reykjavík. Can’t wait to go back to Iceland and we’ll book Bragi again!!!Written 5 November 2022
- LoveTravel2311480 contributionsAmazing northern lights experienceI can’t express enough how thankful I am to Bragi putting in the time and experience to ensuring we saw the Northern lights. Despite the cloud cover Bragi was still able to find a gap where the Northern lights danced around the sky around us. As a novice to photography I was nervous to show my inexperience but Bragi put me at my ease and helped me set my camera up with the necessary settings and positioning so I was able to take artistic shots of the Northern lights.Written 22 October 2022

We booked our second tour with Bragi Kort (first one was in Dec-2017) for a 3 day guided tour and photography experience of the Snaefellsness, Reykjanes peninsulas and a day trip to Landmannalaugar. We wnt over the July 4th week in 2021. Bragi offers a unique Icelandic experience in terms of his knowledge of the area and its attractions. Couple that with a ton of patience and interest to teach photography makes him a very unique and desirable guide for those who wish to couple photos and sightseeing.
We spent roughly 12-15 hours each day and there were no time limits at an attraction or any attempt to rush us. We got picked up from our Reykjavik hotel and were given clear instructions on what to pack/bring from home for these day trips.
He has a very European dry sense of humor that we loved and the days flew by. After 8 days with him over two trips, we also got schooled on how important post processing is for photography - he is genuinely interested in giving you an amazing experience and also knows when to step back to let us shoot pics and learn the process!!
Our trips to Iceland have been memorable because of Arctic Shots and Bragi Kort! So much so that we can call him and his wife our friends :)
