This was my second time... - This was my second time booking this activity. Getting to the location was fairly easy, snacks and drinks were provided, and you get to see the beautiful auroras. This is a great activity for everyone and doesn’t require having to hike up anywhere. 10/10 recommend.

Best Northern Lights tour in Fairbanks! - This was the best time during our trip to Fairbanks to see the northern lights. Money well spent. The lights were almost non stop since we got to the cabin. David was a great host, he is funny and knowledgeable, he picked us up from the hotel. He took professional amazing pictures that he sent to us almost immediately at the end. The lights are awesome, it is a beautiful spectacle. The van was warm and comfy. The cabin has everything you need: coffee, snacks, noodles, restroom, comfortable sofas, table, chairs, etc. David even made hot dogs for us. You can be in and out as you please to look at the lights. Everything you have heard or seen about the lights doesn't compare to live it. Don't hesitate to book, especially with this guy. 5 stars.

Awesome experience - It was so wonderful to stay in a warm and cozy cabin with tons of refreshment provided while waiting for Aurora to show up. David, our host, is really nice and amicable. He taught us how to use our cell phones to catch the beautiful moment of the Northern lights and illustrated how to check real-time Aurora status through the camera installed outside of the cabin.We were very lucky to view the northern lights on a clear night. David took some great photos for us with the stunning Aurora in the background and sent it to us pretty quickly. Aurora certificate and postcards were given as souvenir gifts in the end. Thank you for this unforgettable memory!

A heart warming THANK YOU... - A heart warming THANK YOU to Joy for making this senior citizen’s dream come true! It’s a huge campground with an open sky above. Your cameras can follow the Auroras as they dance across the sky! When you need to warm up, just step inside to a large room surrounded by huge windows and have refreshments to keep you energized as you watch for more excitement. Joy is constantly on the lookout for Auroras and lets everyone know when to step outside to see them. She takes great photos! My sister and I appreciate the pick up and return to Pike’s Hotel. Thank you for a most memorable experience!

Refused to refund/ false information - We didn’t get to see the northern lights. The local guide wasn’t friendly at all. Before booking under the terms and conditions it was stated that our payment will be refunded if we didn’t get to see the northern lights due to the weather conditions. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see and experience it. They refused to give us our body back. After contacting the customer service and the actual location. Awful experience.
