Hi All
Have decided I want to go see the Northern Lights . Been looking around & have 2 possibles both booked through my local travel agent ....1st up is a 3 night 4 day trip staying in Reykjavik Cabin Hotel with a couple of excursions booked for the lights & Blue Lagoon/Golden Circle . Not sure I feel totally comfortable wandering around with my camera gear on my own during the day in a strange place though , & not sure how much photography time I'd get on the excursions ?
or
A Hurtigruten cruise for 6 days Arctic Highlights.
As a single traveller cost gets a bit high but the above are just about ok .
Looking at February 2013
So....has anyone been on either of these trips ?
Can you recommend or advise me what other companies may be worth looking at ?
I'm aware that the lights aren't guarenteed so think maybe the cruise would be the better option, apparently the ships have some sort of intercom system you can switch on in your cabin & they'll make an announcement in the night if the lights are visible
Thanks in advance for any info
