It had been cloudy all day and continued into the evening so I was convinced we had no chance of seeing the lights. That being said, we drove for about 2 hrs towards the Finnish boarder where our guide found an opening in the clouds along the way so pulled into a side road. Here we saw the northern lights! Photos were taken for us on a professional camera and emailed to us after the trip. They were high quality and showed the lights well. We continued closer to the Finnish boarder and we managed to see the lights again. A choice of warm tea or coffee was provided and a cake each. Since we travelled so far to find clear skies we arrived back in Tromsø around 2:30am. The mini bus was warm and comfortable!

It was fantastic as we managed to catch the aurora lights! Our guide was informative and brought us to a really good spot.

Alan is a great guide! He is professional and humorous. He used his knowledge and drove us to the place with best possibilities to hunt the light. - and yes, we caught the light and it was really strong! Thanks Alan for the amazing night.
