  if i could give 10 stars i would! one goal in fairbanks and it was to see the northern lights and take photos of it. mission accomplished! they were so friendly, educational, safe, hard working, excited, enthusiastic, and just overall gave amazing service; made sure the group was happy, comfortable from the cold, and had us and helped us take as many photos as possible to memorialize the amazing site and experience. thank you so much for wonderful time. i couldn't have asked for a better option or tour group. literally went perfectly well!

  I could not have asked for a better experience. While seeing the actual aurora is a bit of luck, we certainly lucked out and saw one of the best shows ever imaginable that lasted for hours. The photos I am posting are only barely brighter than the peaks of the real thing. Usually, the photos you see are quite a bit more exaggerated than the real thing due to how the aurora is picked up in digital photography. - Our tour guides, Elana and Ed (I may have his name wrong) were extremely informative with the data they were tracking and presented it in a fun and clear way. We got so lucky because they timed our arrival to a spot that was under an hour from downtown Fairbanks PERFECTLY and we got out of the van seconds before one of the best aurora's in the past couple of years. Again, having the aurora this bright and for so many hours is certainly luck, but the data interpretation, known viewing spots without light pollution, cloud coverage and timing of our arrival is not luck. They kept it fun the entire time and showed genuine excitement for themselves and for all of us getting this experience. They gave us snacks and water and even scrounged up some toe warmers for me and my poor choice of winter boots. - The van was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be due to me and my partner being picked up first and sitting in the front row, which are two bucket seats. I do not think any of the rows are bench seats, so you do feel a bit more private. I cannot say how the back rows feel, but if you get carsick, maybe request the front (I did not have to, but might have if we were not first in). They coordinate the pickup time and tell you in advance. We were picked up at 7pm and it took about an hour to round up everyone else which was about 10 people. - If you are a couple or solo, they will get as many pictures of you as possible at all stages of the night. Elana encourages fun and silly pictures as well as anything you can dream of. - They will stay as long as you wish or is reasonable. We were actually ready to leave an hour before the rest of the group and we stayed even longer for a couple to finish waiting for them (too long as the sights had ended). But you would rather them wait for people who were still hopeful to see and photograph more than pressure us to leave if there is a chance to see more. We were out there for HOURS and saw repeated waves of incredible and differing spectacles including things that Ed said he'd never seen before. I would wholeheartedly recommend this trip even if you have a car as you are more likely to see it with people who know where to go and when to go there. We had good luck driving ourselves too, but their spots were much less trafficked and quiet. In fact, we didn't see but one other car the entire time.

  It's a long activity. A good 2 hr drive north of fairbanks to get the best view of Aurora. The guides were full of energy and gives so much encouragement for you to seize the moment, take endless photos of you with background of the aurora. Wear appropriate clothing since this activity is completely outdoor, exposed to cold environment. Totally worth it

• Artic Night Tours- A Must-DO Experience

  Hands down the best tour we have ever done! Even before we booked, Elena went above and beyond. I was worried about driving in extreme cold conditions, and she took the time to give us helpful tips and reassurance — even encouraging us to call anytime if we had more questions or concerns. The tour itself was an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. They took us to two different viewing spots to maximize our chances of seeing the northern lights. Throughout the night, they were incredibly caring and attentive, making sure we stayed warm with hand and foot warmers, plus offering snacks and water along the way. The highlight? The endless photos! They set up multiple cameras and encouraged everyone to take as many pictures as we wanted for our lifetime memories. They even ended the night with a sweet treat for everyone — such a thoughtful touch. If you’re considering a northern lights tour, look no further. 100% recommend Arctic Night Tours! The only regret you’ll have is not booking with them!

• Amazing Northern Lights Tour!

  Best northern lights tour! I've been on other northern light chasing tours in a different country, and this is the best tour yet! This team does a wonderful job of making sure you are taken care of. They do not provide extra warm clothes so make sure you are bundled up. They do provide toe warmers and hand warmers, along with yummy snacks and water. The team took us to a remote area where there were no other cars and no light pollution, so perfect for viewing the lights. I also appreciated that there were no power lines in the area where we viewed the lights. They have two cameras taking photos and you will surely get as many photos taken with the lights as you want. They are very skilled at taking photos as well, so you will definitely be satisfied. You can go in and out of the van as much as you'd like to warm up or even take a quick nap. Our tour lasted 8 hours so you will definitely need some stamina but it was all worth it because we were able to not only see the lights throughout the night but also got two amazing bursts of the lights! The team, and especially our driver Ed, is super excited and enthusiastic about the lights and is constantly checking the forecast so that we would not miss an incredible light show. I would highly recommend booking this tour!

• 5/5 experience, would book again

  5/5 experience. I loved how passionate the team was with auroras. They took the time to explain the science and answered all questions thrown at them. I can promise you that you and your group will have the chance to take hundreds of photos. The team will have a few cameras set up and you just have to get in line. You have the liberty to go in and out of the van and when there are no auroras, the team will provide hand/toe warmers, snacks, and water. One con was the driver we had. We made it to and from in one piece but his driving gave me and my group anxiety. Overall, worth the money and I would 1000% recommend.

  This is a tour worth trying. From the beginning there was constant communication with the staff. They made sure that the weather was approppriate to get the best experience possible. We started right on time. Throughout the tour, the staff was very friendly and took good care of us. They were constantly offering us pictures of the auroras. Overall, it was an amazing experience. I would definitely do it again.

• An exceptionally professional and passionate aurora-chasing tour team.

  Our family’s aurora-chasing trip was fantastic, largely due to the tour guide, who took us to an ideal location and patiently waited for the best viewing conditions. During the trip, the outside temperature was −50 °C; however, the team kept us warm and comfortable in the van, with snacks and water readily available. We felt completely comfortable allowing our child to join them again the following evening. After dropping us off at the hotel, the tour guide even offered us a delicious, home-cooked cake. We highly recommend this professional team for Fairbanks aurora chasing.
