Tina and the Aurora

Tina was very friendly and eager to please. We received pictures from her early the next day. We had a small group and were able to talk quite a bit. It was a successful and fun night.
Even in November, MO took me to a place where I could see the Northern Lights.

On the day we joined, Yellowknife was cloudy and had no stars in sight, but Mo-san informed us that we were leaving late at 22:00, and drove hard towards the west to get a good view of the starry sky. After waiting a while, the aurora appeared little by little and gradually became stronger bands. It was a bright day for the moon, but the aurora borealis, as strong as it is, was visible across the sky. With MO's advice, I was able to adjust the exposure time of the iPhone's camera to take beautiful photos. As an added bonus, I happened to see a large shooting star that glowed green. The whole organisation was really good and the people were soo nice and they try their best to give you unforgettable moments... We enjoyed the Wildlife Preserve and Takhini Hot Spring tour and also we were very happy to see Aurora on our last night. Tina sent me the image data the next day and I enjoyed it again. It was the right thing to do on MO's tour. Thank you very much.

Yellowknife had thick clouds, but they took us far away to see the Northern Lights. He also taught me how to take pictures and I was able to take pictures beautifully. Thank you Mo and Tina.
Awesome awe-rora!

It was not a good night for aurora viewing, it was very cloudy with rains and occasional snow showers. Mo drove from point to point and at the end of Rt. 4 we waited on the snow. He spotted where there was an opening in the clouds and could show us the aurora on his camera. He took our pictures against the green glow. He was ver knowledgeable about the area, the aurora. We stopped at the lodge on the way back for hot chocolate and cookies. Thank you, Mo. He told us to look for stars to identify breaks in the cloud and we used that technique the nights we went aurora chasing on our own. Definitely recommend this tour to others.
Mr. Mo's great guide

This is my second time to register for this tour, the tour guide is Mo, he is very professional, the photo technique is also good, and very passionate. In addition to his native language is Chinese, his English is also good and treats each member as fairly as possible. Driving is also smooth, push! In turn, the two times I registered were the name of the official newspaper on the afternoon of the day of the trip, you can look at the day's weather and the level of light, to decide whether or not to register on the day, the flexibility of the schedule is good.
Outstanding Tour, highly recommend!

Mo our tour guide was outstanding, very knowledgeable when it came to the area and the lights, he assisted with settings on our phones to take our own photos & also took incredible photos of our group which he later shared with us. The lodge was very comfortable to wait in the warmth for the lights to be at the best for viewing.
No words! Amazing night & tour.

The tour was excellent! Our guide, Mo, showed great professionalism and deep knowledge about the Northern Lights. He was also very helpful, kind, friendly, attentive, cheerful, and pleasant throughout the entire tour. He gave us excellent instructions for observing and photographing the aurora. The lodge was in a great location and had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable night — including spaces like the terrace, trail, and lake dock, which were perfect for watching the Northern Lights. There was also a fireplace and hot chocolate to keep us warm, plus a washroom and some games available for entertainment during our stay at the lodge. My husband and I are very satisfied and grateful for the service, and we’re so happy that we were able to see the aurora and capture some beautiful photos. P.S. We really loved the small group we shared the night tour with — everyone was so nice! Warm regards, Veronica Hanna
Amazing aurora experience

This tour was amazing, Moe the guide picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel lobby, he was very friendly and helped us set up our cameras correctly, he also took a ton of amazing pictures, the location was also amazing with a short trail to Madeline Lake where you will have an amazing view to capture the aurora, and inside you will have hot drinks and snacks by the foot of a fireplace to warm up, the tour couldn't have been better.
