点评:We had a fantastic experience doing the one-night aurora tour with Robin! He was a fantastic guide in every possible way: drove us (group of six) safely to a great site, told us what to expect and how to stay warm, kept an eye on the skies and told us where to look, built and maintained a great campfire, and took incredible photos of both the auroras themselves and multiple shots of each of us in the group. I'm so grateful for those photos because I definitely wouldn't have such incredible pictures of me and my husband in front of the aurora otherwise. Think of what poses you want to do in advance because there's lots of opportunities for different photos!
We were very lucky in not having to drive more than 20 minutes or so. Earlier in the evening it seemed like it was very overcast so we were kind of despairing of seeing any lights. We've never been happier to be so wrong because it turned out to a spectacular night for viewing with auroras moving overhead almost non-stop. I was worried the bonfire would affect our night vision but it really wasn't an issue at all.
I'll emphasize again how great it was to have someone else taking professional-level photos. It was COLD (-29C/-20F) the night we were out so it was very difficult to comfortably take photos. Upon looking at mine on a computer screen, they're mostly super blurry and would've been more or less a complete loss without Robin's pictures. He also got the download link to us so fast--the very next night!
Tip: make sure you use the facilities before you go on this tour. I'm sure there must be some option if you really need to go urgently, but I'm not sure what that would be as we were in the middle of nowhere in the freezing cold and you're wearing half a dozen layers including the very warm jumpsuit they provide you.
Don't hesitate to book this tour. It was worth every penny!
翻译:我们参加了罗宾组织的极光一日游,体验棒极了!他是一位各方面都非常出色的向导:安全地把我们(六人)送到一个绝佳的观赏点,告诉我们会看到什么以及如何保暖,时刻关注着天空,告诉我们应该往哪里看,还搭建并维护了一个很棒的篝火,并为我们拍摄了精彩的极光照片,以及我们每个人的多张照片。我非常感谢这些照片,因为如果没有他,我肯定不会有我和丈夫在极光前的这些精彩照片。建议提前想好你想摆的姿势,因为有很多不同的拍摄机会!
我们非常幸运,开车不到20分钟就到了。傍晚早些时候,天空阴沉沉的,我们几乎不抱希望能看到极光。但我们从未如此庆幸自己错了,因为那晚的极光非常壮观,几乎不停地在头顶移动。我之前担心篝火会影响我们的夜视能力,但实际上完全没问题。
我再次强调,有人帮我们拍专业级的照片真是太棒了。我们外出的那晚非常冷(零下29摄氏度/零下20华氏度),所以很难舒服地拍照。我在电脑屏幕上看自己的照片,发现大部分都非常模糊,如果没有罗宾的照片,这些照片几乎就白拍了。而且他第二天晚上就把下载链接发给我们了,速度也超快!
小贴士:参加这个旅行团之前一定要先去洗手间。我知道如果真的急需上厕所,肯定有办法,但我也不确定具体是什么,因为我们当时身处荒郊野外,天气又冷,而且身上还穿着好几层衣服,包括他们提供的非常保暖的连体服。
别犹豫,赶紧预订这个旅行团吧!绝对物超所值!
