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.

On our northern light tour day, we see morning sun and part of clear sky in the afternoon. When about 3pm the host called to tell us the chances of seeing northern light was mixed. We decided to give a tried. Around 10pm, the host stop at one spot not too far from town, took out his device and check if there is an aurora light coming out, few minutes later, He told us “Yes” ! but we see nothing from naked eyes from sky but just some white smoky lights… then he ask one of us to take a picture… 1 min later.. we can’t believed our eyes ball! The “white light” is the aurora light! I wanted to say “Big Thank You” to the host because of him and his wife, we have no regret to take this tour. Both of them have truly shows the enthusiasms and bring the excited moment. Even thought we didn’t see colorful northern light from sky but camera :) it’s still make us no regret to join Arctic night tour and came to Alaska. Last but not least, My humble suggest if they can provide some hot drink instead of a piece of cake that would be even better!

We had an amazing experience chasing the aurora with our guides Ed and Elaina! Elaina called us a few hours before the experience was supposed to start to let us know that the weather and aurora forecasts were a little mixed, to give us an option to cancel or reschedule (which I thought was a nice touch). We decided to take the chance and we're so glad we did. They drove us almost 200 miles away from Fairbanks in an effort to get away from the clouds and give us the best possible views, stopping at multiple viewpoints along the way, each display getting stronger through the night. Their pure excitement on sighting the aurora each time was infectious and kept us going through the freezing cold night. Look no further if you're looking for an aurora tour in Fairbanks!

I can't say enough good things about this tour! Ed and Elena are truly exceptional at what they do. Despite an 80% cloud cover forecast, they used their deep knowledge, experience, and determination to drive us nearly 3 hours outside of Fairbanks—all in search of clear skies. And they delivered! We were rewarded with a spectacular aurora display that exceeded all expectations. The van was spacious and comfortable, which made the long drive relaxing. Throughout the night, they kept us warm and energized with thoughtful touches like snacks and, to our surprise, a slice of cake when we returned to our hotel. Their passion for the northern lights is infectious, and they took time to share their knowledge with us in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. What really stood out was their skill in photographing the aurora. They captured tons of beautiful photos, and it was clear they take pride in making sure every guest goes home with unforgettable memories—not just in their mind, but in print. If you're in Fairbanks and want the best chance to see the aurora, don't leave it to luck—go with Ed and Elena. Their dedication, hospitality, and expertise turn what could have been a cloudy disappointment into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
