Hi all,
Have been reading through the previous threads about this subject but still have some questions, if anyone could be so kind as to answer.
1: We unsure what to do for our northern lights trip this February, we don't know whether to go for a place outside of Tromso, and thus be able to see the northern lights easier (I guess) from close by our accommodation. Does anyone know a place that can sleep up to 8 people available outside of Tromso?
OR
Go for a place inside Tromso and go on a northern lights tour (we can only afford 1 of these), or otherwise go to a place each night from Tromso where there isn't so much light pollution. We also want to do a couple of activities like dog sledding etc which all seem to pick up from Tromso. I saw someone mention Whale Island, can you get there by boat or bus each night and back?
What do most people commonly do?
2: We were thinking about hiring a car to get around this problem...How are the roads typically, is it completely snowed out quite often, or are the roads typically drivable?
3: Also are the lyngen alps easily driven to and back to Tromso within a day? I heard they are pretty spectacular.
Many thanks for any advice!
Cheers Matt
