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.

5.001 million percent worth it! Dana was amazing and drove us to a beautiful location where we got to see Aurora dance in the sky. It was so great getting to share her passion for the lights with an evening under the stars and the perfect Aurora show! I can’t wait to see the photos she took!

5.00It’s cold but beautiful, our tour guide is super nice and professional. We see the aurora several times. It’s worth the wait and money.

1.00Lights were super weak And tour guide is not interested in trying out more places . They just went to 2 places and gave up. Don’t go by the 5 star ratings you see. They are giving a free aurora mug for anyone who rate 5 stars in front of them. Save your money!

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
