What To Expect
Greatland Adventures
The aurora borealis is one of the most amazing natural wonders this world has to offer. Join us on a quest to view and photograph the northern lights in and around the Anchorage area. We will use our luxury tour vehicle as a base camp as well as a state of the art portable winter shelter complete with heater, chairs, hot drinks and snacks. We use modern technology to forecast both the space and earth weather each night. The tour only operates on nights that have a reasonable expectation for the lights to be visible. While we cannot guarantee you will see the aurora, if we do operate the tour we have over a 90% success rate of seeing the northern lights. You only pay if we operate the tour. This tour is designed for anyone who has viewing the northern lights on their bucket list including both sightseers and serious photographers. Aurora photography instruction as well as Aurora portraits are provided. Tours generally depart at 9 pm and return at 3 am.

2.00It wasn't good. Are the thin white clouds the Northern Lights? I was disappointed 😞 And angry that the fishing tour was canceled without permission

5.00Dennis was awesome, he was on a mission to get us good pics and share with us his knowledge! Very attentive and made me feel safe as a solo traveler.
It's all about timing.

5.00The best experience with the best guide, his energy is surprising and although this is his work does not stop marveling as the first time, we were extraordinary lucky all the conditions were to be able to see the auroras even from the city, it was a spectacular night. Gives the best attitude, disposition and attention I recommend 100. But don’t forget that on this tour the main factor is not controlled by the Guide or Enterprise but by God and Nature.
Excellent Service, the...
