"My friend recommended [that] I go see the northern lights… I think now I get why he likes it so much."
• The [that] is often left out in English. It's "understood" to be there.
• "I think now I get…" (I believe what you want to say is all in the present tense – think/get)
• northern lights may be plural, so "likes them" may be appropriate.
• "so much" seems more natural than "that much." Look for a second opinion.
