Exceptional experience and a fantastic team - I had a trip with this team on 03/05/2024. I should wait to let it all sink in, but want to get all my notes in. 1. The team typically carries a huge van of 8-10 people, if there’s more in the group, they have multiple vans and guides. This is great because your intimate group can always have conversations with your guide. We had Nick and Tony (and Brandon!!) such a fanstastic trio. Their energy and enthusiasm to ensure we were engaged was phenomenal. 2. We had a β€˜not so great’ aurora forecast that day. We were informed all throughout the day by Nicole (again exceptional service) of the changing weather/prediction situations, she even offered different dates if we wanted to take it. We were eventually told there’s a pocket of clear sky we’d try out at and maybe there’s a 50% chance of seeing the aurora. We took the chance! 3. Nick and Tony drove us out 45 minutes north to find good viewing points with clear skies and to our surprise, we saw auroras right as we parked our camp. The sight was breathtaking, Nick and Tony continued to set up cameras, encouraged people in our group to get pictures and even took the time out to help shy/not very picture inclined folks like my husband and I with different portraits. 4. After the unexpected yet amazing sighting, they went on to set up campfires and foood/drinks for us. Again, exceptional service that I cannot recommend enough. 5. It was 12:30 by then and we had seen/captured plenty of auroral activity, they then took us to a few different spots where we could see auroras with different backdrops - trees, flat landscape, etc. ensuring we get the best experience. 6. We departed thoroughly spent yet so full in our hearts. The team led us from place to place with enthusiasm and gusto to ensure we had the best experience. They ensured we stayed out for as long as there was auroral activity. Idk, we wouldnt have known any different had we parked at a spot right? We saw the auroras! And yet they took us around and were incredibly patient and encouraging with pictures. I cannot recommend these guys and the tour enough!!! Please go with them if you are in Fairbanks. Of all the tours I’ve been at, this is atleast in the top 3 of how amazing the experience was (and auroras were the bonus!) special shoutout to Brandon on moosewatch! We didn’t see/hit a moose so it’s a win!

100% Gurantee or my money back sold me. - Of all the Aurora tour companies I looked into, this was more expensive. However, I chose them because they offer a 100% guarantee while other companies indicate "no guarantee". With Aurora in Alaska, you will see the Aurora or you get your money back. I also knew they would take photos of you, which you get included in the price. Believe me--you want to leave the photography duty to them (unless you are a pro). I wanted to make sure I had photos with the Aurora, and those I have! Thanks to them. They provide hot drinks, adult beverage, and reindeer sausages to enjoy at the bonfire. The crew was great--each and every one of them. Read the company's description to understand how it works. It's not complex, so take it for what it says. I met others throughout my time there, who signed with other companies that were cheaper but did not offer a guarantee. They lost their money because the Aurora never happened for the night they paid. Remember you get what you pay for.

Successfully checked off Northern Lights from bucket list. - From booking thru the entire experience this was among our top travel adventures. Nichol was awesome in guiding us to select best options,, communicated consistently including letting us know of forecast and option to cancel or rebook and then updated us when forecast improved Kevin was a great driver and photographer, Andrew was a terrific guide, both sought out best opportunities to catch the Aurora, checked out many sights till they found the.best for viewing and setting up camp fire and cookout. Even had Vegan options for sausage. Highly recommend this company.

Wowowowoow ! - This tour was so much fun! We pulled over in different spots as we were driving up and got to see the Aurora! Tour guides were enthusiastic to find the Aurora and take photos for us! I tried reindeer hot dogs and it was fun to roast them over the fire ourselves.

Epic dream realized. - How can I explain that when you experience your dream bucket list it is priceless. Tony, Nick and the crew made sure we got to spot safe and made the fun happen, along with Mother Nature. I will never forget the night and the pics are top notch to have as memories. Nick was so patient taking pics and talking to me, or me telling him about shooting star! Beyond special night and so grateful for the service provided. Hubby loved the sausage and I loved the fire and whole vibe.

Amazing!!!! - The tour was absolutely amazing! Well worth every penny! Our guides (Tony, Andrew, and Kevin) were awesome!! It was a cloudy night, but they took our group to three different locations and drove two hours out so that we could get the perfect view! We had such a fun time, and caught an amazing view of the Aurora!
