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.

AMAZING TOUR They picked us up in a very modern van, with power outlets and very comfortable seats. The guide explained a lot about the physics related to northern lights. He explained that because of cloud coverage we would be driving for a couple of hours headed north. So basically he drove while my family and I took a nap and then he would stop at this random places on the highway and tell us to step down the van. We saw the aurora at 3 different locations! They took as many photos as we wanted and knew very well how to take them! They had a lot of snacks and water It was a very long drive from 8pm till 5am but it was completely worth it. I can’t recommend this enough! I have done both types of aurora tours (chasing vs lodge) and I would say this was my favorite!

My wife and I booked this tour on Feb 11. It was a clear night and the northern lights were awesome. When we first arrived at the site, the lights were spread across the sky like a rainbow. As the night progressed, the lights got brighter and we could even see the movement across the sky. The pictures taken by us and by our guide turned out great. I did not rate this a 5 because of the following: Our guide, whose name I do not know, had a very heavy European accent and was sometimes hard to understand. We were one of the last to be picked up in the van and had the back seats. The guide did not use his microphone on the trip and whatever conversation was taking place about the lights or Fairbanks, we could not hear. We felt it was very impersonal and could have been better had there been some discussion on the way to the site. We were on another excursion the following evening and the guide used her microphone and gave us some interesting history / facts on the area we were visiting.

The tour was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The guide went above and beyond by providing snacks, water, and even hand and toe warmers to keep us comfortable. Our guide was the best so enthusiastic, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. You could tell they truly love what they do. To top it all off, they surprised us with cake at the end! Such a thoughtful touch. Simply amazing experience highly recommend! 🙌✨

Picked up at our hotel by a great guy! He provided excellent treats & water for the trip in a large new tour type for around 15. He knew the very moment the Aurora would start appearing. Gave tips for those with cameras. ( iPhone 17 Pro did a great job). He had a nice camera a video and allowed pictures in front of the beautiful Northern Lights. He will send us a link next week to view and down load. Rate10+

This trip was absolutely incredible and truly unforgettable. The team was amazing—very kind, patient, and extremely well prepared. They thought about every detail: choosing the best spots for photos -So exited to see the photos-, allowing time to warm up, providing water and snacks, and even bringing warming bags to keep us comfortable. What impressed me the most was how knowledgeable they were about predicting the auroras. They carefully anticipated the best time to watch them and stayed positive and patient the entire time, which made the experience even more enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommended!

This was an incredible Aurora experience!! We ended up about an hour north of Fairbanks in the mountains and the Aurora was spectacular! It took a few hours to come out in full force but even the view of only the stars is incredible from that far outside the city. It was insanely cold (-36 degrees) so make sure to dress warm but it is definitely one of the best experiences I have ever been on.

A must see. A magical experience with a great touring team. The sky was so bright and beautiful. The light were early for us and remained for some time.

This experience was absolutely incredible! They pick you up at your hotel and drive as far as they need to for a spot with no cloud coverage. For our night we drove to Denali National Park and got to see the lights over the trees and mountains. The guides were lovely and enthusiastic and provided snacks, water, hand warmers during and cake at the end. They take a TON of pictures of everyone throughout. I’d definitely recommend this tour! Dress warm!
