What To Expect
Fairbanks
Not a single meeting with the Northern Lights is like another. Each time the lights change colors and start new dance. Their main hue is green, but it can be purple, pink, red and blue, depending on their strength and atmospheric conditions. Aurora Borealis is a mystical unpredictable and beautiful phenomenon that suddenly appears and disappears in the same way.

Outstanding experience

5.00It was a serendipitous decision to go through with this adventure. Initially I thought I canceled the tour, but it’s a good thing I didn’t because it was the highlight of our Northern Lights experience in Alaska! Elena and Ed, the guides and photographers were the best. They made sure everyone had a good experience and were comfortable in the frigid conditions. We had a memorable time. I’m so glad that we chose to go through with the plan. Grateful for the wonderful experience.
Must experience

5.00The hosts were absolutely fantastic . I didn't catch our hosts name, but from start to finish he was amazing. I came with my daughter and wow! We left so happy! His energy , care to details , information, comedy , and just every piece of the tour wasn't expected. Really outdid himself annnnd the views and pics absolutely stunning . The only tiny negative was the group we were with, they were very rude about the host . So I suggest make sure as guests , do your research on weather and dress appropriately. That is not the hosts fault. As a person that has driven long hours in Alaska weather , our host drove , hosted , guided , took pics , and really took care of us all amd drove back with a smile . So I commend him and def recommend. Be kind to your hosts and their efforts :) Thank you for creating beautiful memories for my daughter and loved seeing her smile 😃

5.00The Northern Lights experience was absolutely incredible—the team went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. Host was very knowledgeable and walked us through the whole process behind northern lights formation. When reached the spot, they patiently waited for best wave of northern lights to appear and taken as many pictures as we needed. They ensured that all the guests are accommodated well and even provided with some treats prior to dropping us back at the hotel. Overall this trip was beyond my expectations and definitely recommend for anyone who is visiting Fairbanks for northern lights viewing. Can’t wait to see the photos taken ❤️
Journey to Arctic Cycle and Back

5.00The operator was very professional and knew the route extremely well. He clearly enjoys what he does and spent the day explaining the history and stories behind each viewpoint in great detail. He was energetic, entertaining, and kept the group engaged throughout the trip. He also used an app to track when the aurora borealis might appear, which took away the worry of wasting time or money trying to chase it ourselves. We reached the Arctic Circle under bright sunshine, traveling through miles and miles of pristine wilderness. It was truly epic and definitely one more item checked off my bucket list. He made sure everyone returned to the hotel safely after 1:00 AM. We started at noon, making it a full 13-hour tour. You truly get what you pay for.
Fantastic Evening!!!!

5.00We had the most incredible Northern Lights tour and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about helping everyone had the best possible time seeing the lights. They took us far away from the city lights to the perfect viewing spot and made sure we were comfortable while we waited. Just when we thought the night couldn’t get any better, the sky came alive with the most beautiful waves of green lights dancing above us. It honestly felt magical and almost surreal. The guides were great at capturing individual photos of all the guests, which they will provide a link for us to access. She explained the science and stories behind the Northern Lights, which made the experience even more interesting. The entire evening, from the snacks to the care taken by the tour guide was excellent If you’re thinking about doing a Northern Lights tour, I highly recommend this group. It was absolutely fantastic and definitely one of the most memorable travel experiences we’ve ever had. Truly a night we will never forget!

5.00Amazing experience! Our tour guide was so dedicated, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. She was so prompt, picking us up at 7:45pm. The van was always warm. Safe driving at night in the winter mountains. We saw the lights the night before but being a few hours from Fairbanks going north made a huge difference. Also the photography was AMAZING! We are so thankful we went on this tour and would 100% recommend it to anyone who wants to see the aurora borealis.
