I still see the images of God’s MOST BEAUTIFUL show that we saw of the Aurora Borealis in Tromso.\r\n\r\nThinking back, Norway northern lights was the very first choice of tour I wanted to do with WOW. However on doing a research on the tour I had discovered that one had to be really prepared to do a northern lights tour. And me, in 2019 Feb was not totally prepared for it. So I did several other tours during the year which were fabulous too and then finally in February 2020 I did the best tour of my life ... (until now). \r\n\r\nObviously the Northern lights ... THE AURORA BOREALIS being the highlight of the tour ... we were the MOST LUCKY lot of ladies. Am sure most of us had read and studied about the northern lights before we left and so on our flight from Oslo to Tromso ... I see a grey thick straight line cloud in the sky from the window of my small aircraft.... and I quickly open my Northern Lights camera App on the iPhone and click a pic of the ray of grey light which looked like a cloud with naked eyes and I SEE the Aurora Borealis soo clear. We all 20 ladies of WOW group in the aircraft went beserk coz this was the first sight of the most awesome thing we saw. \r\n\r\nAfter an entire day of travel from hotel to Oslo airport to Tromso and to hotel etc ... still we were all very excited for our first short safari of 3 hours of the Northern light that night and guess what we could have experienced!!!!\r\n\r\nWe drove for about an hour to reach a spot which was in the middle of nowhere and the guide tell us to get off the bus (it was -4 degrees freezing cold) and we immediately see the entire sky in front of us with rays of green aurora borealis which was visible to our naked eyes. We were all so thrilled and the freezing cold did not matter any more. We clicked many pics on the app and the guide started taking our pics too. In just 30 mins of super excitement we were the most blessed lot who suddenly saw the dancing aurora borealis. It was like MAGIC. The entire sky was filled with the lights from God and Universe and we actually saw the them dancing in the sky. There was so much excitement and screaming and we did not know whether we should be clicking or watching or posing with it lolzz. It was truly magical.... really can’t express in words. We returned back to the hotel with most happy and satisfied hearts and with gratitude that we could experience this. The guide said that he had not seen such amazing lights in last 3 years. \r\n\r\nApart from the entire tour that was sooo fulfilling and amazing... we had 3 more night safaris of the aurora borealis where we did see little magic every night... however the first night being most special Gift from God types. I will share a few pics to take you right into my experience. We also did the most awesome cruise from Flåm and several sightseeings which were truly amazing including the train journey to Flåm (wooden train compartments) with a picture stop on a station between mountains was like in the movies and Flåm felt like being in a fairy tale. And not to miss the amazing husky ride where we saw 143 husky dogs and we could actually touch and pat them. It was very fulfilling. Honestly I could write a little book on this tour lol. Bottom line ... I am most thankful to one of our best wow buddy Vithika for making everyday a perfect day and ofcourse most grateful to WOW for organising such awesome tours and making people LIVE THEIR DREAMS.
