Amazing host - We traveled to Fairbanks for our elopement and to chase the northern lights. Unfortunately, the night that we booked the tour, the weather was very cloudy. We were given the option to refund, reschedule, or still try for that night. Our flight back home was at 1:45 AM the next night, so we informed the host that we would love to try again but had a flight home. They offered to drop us back off at the pick up point to make our flight, we agreed! David was an amazing guide. He was so kind, hospitable, and a great photographer. He went out of his way to assist us with finding our lost rental car key. We were SO thankful for him. The moon was nearly full, so the lights were pretty obstructed, but we did get a glimpse and some very good photos! The photos were sent to us less than 24 hours later. We plan to revisit Fairbanks in the future, and will definitely choose this group again.

Do It - You have to love it when you get lucky and the stars align. It’s been days between sightings but we were blessed last night to fulfill a dream to see the northern lights. All I can say is wow and thanks to David our wonderful guide. David is great and did not disappoint. we were viewing the beauty of the borealis within 20 minutes of his picking us up. Professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Wonderful sighting of Aurora - Though the index was excellent it was a very cloudy night and David , our tour guide, took us to multiple spots to get a good view. He really tried and the magic happened at the last spot. We had a good sighting of the Aurora and our group was so delighted! Thanks to David for being persistent!

Amazing! Amazing!... - Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! It is the first time we see the aurora! We booked for Thursday night but we found out 2 days earlier that it would be cloudy on Thursday night, so we called to seek the possibility to change to Wednesday night, which is sunny day. And thanks to the flexibility, we go the chance to see the aurora!
