We went on a tour last night with David and he went above and beyond to help us find the northern lights. He was very knowledgeable and shared the science behind it. We also got amazing shots of us with the lights. Thank you david and team!
Bravo!!!

I had to apply for the Aurora Tour by Honeymoon. All three of Aurora have to build up. I thought it was difficult to see, I applied for two times through the tour here, and I could see all two! Thanks to a wonderful guide, you can travel to a place where you can see Aurora and increase the probability of observation. It was so happy to see the beautiful and diverse Aurora with both eyes! Thank you very much for being a memorable experience thanks to your friendly guide!

I was able to apply because I was traveling alone and had no car and was very satisfied. Small tours The Aurora timing was fluidly adjusted, allowing the tour to take place at the best view of the Aurora. He took the photos very hard and immediately shared them. You took almost dozens of photos and it was great that they were all included in the tour price! Thanks to this, it was a very short trip but I was able to see Aurora well. Recommended!!

Aurora Hunting with Korean guide It was originally reserved for another day of the trip. I contacted you that the Aurora index was strong and changed your booking date to get the Aurora tour. Thanks to this, I was able to see Aurora and I thought that in this section, it was worth taking care of our customers! First of all, you are Korean. Language was good and friendly (English is good too!) Some of the people who were on the tour were American, but they explained it in two languages, English and Korean, so they couldn't speak English. If you have any questions, please let us feel comfortable, move around the place and go hunting Aurora. Thanks to this, we got a lot of favourite photos, we got a good camera, and we were so happy to save a lot of life shots. And if it's cold, you can get in the car first and wait. Heather is very kind. Next time I'll come to Fairbanks for the Aurora tour, I think I'll continue here! ⚡
Aurora took a life shot.

Aurora didn't fly on the first day and was worried about her heart, but on the second day she felt really good. Thanks to this, I took a good photo under the Aurora. I also took a city tour during the day, but it was so good to take a good photo. The photos were good in Chinatown too. And if the guide hadn't told me about Denali Mountain, it would have been almost overdue, so I took a good picture. Aurora app was the first time I saw it and it was very useful. It was nice to run to a place that looks good. And I was so grateful for driving me to the station on the third day. Thanks to this, I was able to ride the train on time, and I was able to take a lot of great photos as I went down to Anchorage.

Led by aurora-hunting experts with decades of experience, this tour takes you to the best private locations based on aurora forecasts and weather conditions. While witnessing the aurora ultimately depends on nature’s cooperation, your guide will tirelessly search for better spots to maximize your chances of seeing it. Since the northern lights are at the mercy of the skies, the tour cannot guarantee a sighting. However, if you don’t see the aurora on this tour, it’s safe to assume that no other tour could have shown it that night.
Strike. The most sure way to see Aurora in Fairbanks.

Strike. The best way to see Aurora in Fairbanks. If you can't see it from here, it's a day no one sees it. Chasing until unconditionally seen. In a word, people crazy about Aurora. There is also a Korean guide, so tell us when booking.
These folks do everything...

These folks do everything they can to get you to the Northern Lights! David found a beautiful spot with limited clouds. They also provided us with lots of photos which went well with our own. Worth the cost.
Thoroughly enjoyed!
