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.

    The experience is awesome. The view of the Northern Lights from a remote location (away from city lights) is a must to see. The multitude of stars is beautiful.

  • Pleasant experience and beautiful views

    Overall the experience was pleasant, the guide very cheerful, explained everything and made us feel very accompanied by the experience. Unfortunately the auroras could not be seen in full, only a couple of minutes. I think the risk of going one night, there's a high chance they won't see each other, is a multi-day activity waiting for them to go out completely.

  • Amazing experience!

Our guide was exceptional: very competent, passionate about what he does and really friendly. He took the time to share his knowledge and make sure we had the best time possible. The organization was perfect and the atmosphere very friendly. Seeing the Northern Lights in these conditions will remain an unforgettable memory for us. If you are lucky enough to be in the area and dream of experiencing this adventure, we strongly recommend you contact him. You will not be disappointed!

    If you are to see the northern lights, go with Dana. She is like a dog with a bone. She just won’t quit. She explains the lights. She studies the lights. She photographs the lights. She loves the lights and she wants to share them with all of us. It is a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it. Just try to nap before!!

    Our guide was very friendly. I forgot her name but she was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the aurora. We were able to see it come alive at the 1st spot and didn't have to chase it. It was spectacular.

    We chased the lights but didnt catch them. Nonetheless, it was a great experience. My tour guide, Dana, was friendly and knowledgeable. I would book this again.

  • Beautiful experience!

    My husband and I loved our northern lights tour. It was eight people plus our guide, Aaron, and it seemed everyone had such a great time! We were able to see the lights towards the end and they were breathtaking! It took some time for the lights to be visible but we were all warm while in the van. I can't imagine how difficult it can be to be a tour guide for this experience as it is late at night and there is no 100% when or if you will see the lights but we had such a great time with Aaron as our guide, he was so passionate not just about the aurora but Alaska in general as many of us it was our first time visiting! We left with so much more knowledge and had a wonderful time.

    Dennis was a wonderful guide full of knowledge and enthusiasm. He was very thoughtful and made sure we were comfortable. Although we didn’t get to see the northern lights this trip it was certainly a memorable tour.
