BEST TOUR EVER!!! - HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHOOSING AURORA IN ALASKA TOUR. Andrew and Tony are awesome. Very nice, knowledgeable, friendly. I told them it has been my childhood dream to see the northern lights and they said " so we have to find you aurora and they did 😊. They stopped at 2 locations so we see the lights although the tour was mainly for hot spring. I really appreciate their efforts.

This trip is espectacular. You get what you pay . - The Ice Museum, The Thermas and: we saw northern lights at the end. I did not go into the springs water but enjoy seen them. It is recomended to bring water shoes, bathing suit, getting out of the water clothes and towels.
