Best night ever - Gina is THE best! She is so friendly, prompt, and incredibly knowledgeable. She picked us up right on time and brought us to the first of the potential viewing spots, where we stayed the entire evening. She showed us right away how to work our cameras/phones to capture the best photos because she wanted us to be ready to go the moment they appeared. She kept watch for the lights and immediately flagged us down before anyone else even knew they were appearing. She captured the sweetest candid pictures of me and my friend. She’s personable, prepared, and all around a wonderful person, and our night with her was one I will never forget. I highly recommend Gina and if I ever make it back this way, will absolutely book my excursions through her. Thank you Gina!

Aurora adventure! - If you’re looking for the BEST tour company in Alaska, look no further! Gina is hands down the best tour guide I’ve ever met, and I’ve met a ton of them over the years. She’s so knowledgeable about the area & very professional! Do yourself a favor book with them!! I added pictures which are just a few of the thousands we took while on our adventure.

Highly recommend this tour with Gina! - We had a great trip with Gina! She was very knowledgeable and seemed to have a great relationship with the employees at the Chena Hot Springs Resort, which made for a great experience. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the best chance at viewing the Northern Lights. When the viewing area at the resort got too crowded, she took us to some more secluded viewing areas and we got great pictures with no light pollution. When someone in our group spotted a moose as we were driving, she took the time to turn around and make sure everyone got the chance to see. She always had our safety in mind and regularly reminded us of safety procedures. Highly recommend this tour with Gina!

Great company - We had a fantastic experience with Gina. She is very knowledgeable about the Alaskan frontier. She was more than willing to give us the experience we paid for. I feel she went over and beyond to be accommodating. I would not hesitate to hire her for your tour. Doreen P.

Aurora bucketlist - Because of some budget issues I was indecisive whether I should go with a tour to catch aurora or should I try it by myself. After attending this tour I certainly can say if you are foreigner and have no idea, you definitely go with a tour. Specifically in this one we had an amazing guide Gina! She was so sweet and tolerated a lot of issues I had. From her voice you can tell she loves her job. Thanks to her through the whole tour (9 hours) I knew what I was doing. We started with ice museum which was cool but not that impressive. Then had a dinner and headed for hot springs. We tried it about 9 pm and since there were no additional lights the atmosphere was amazing. The cold weather, hot springs, steam, LEDs… Afterwards we head out for aurora watch and fortunately we could see it! I had a lot of pictures of aurora again thanks to our tour guide we were able to see aurora from different viewpoints. She made sure that we all get amazed by it. After the tour I learned a lot of things about alaskan wildlife which was my whole purpose. I am so happy that I decided to go with a tour, chose this tour and had Gina as my tour guide.

Unforgettable Adventure - Going to Alaska has been a dream of mine for a long time, and all I hoped for was an adventure. I will say this that Gina Sliger did just that. Not only was she very nice, but always walking from one side to another making sure everyone was having a great time, positive attitude,and ability to make travelers feel comfortable. Gina went above and beyond in providing us all information we needed to know prior to all activities being done. You can count on Gina to make your experience the best, and always have a backup with extra activities in case there's time. Great job Gina. Looking forward for my next adventures to be with you. Please book your tours with Gina you won't regret it. She is the best. Thanks again Gina for the unforgettable memory, certainly booking with you when I come back to visit soon. My family and I can't thank you enough for everything.

Amazing, Comfortable, Safe, Memorable - Gina came on time and was with the biggest smile, it right away made us feel welcomed. She introduced herself and briefly gave us history on her background which made it feel like we have known her and made us feel so comfortable. It was so natural talking with her asking questions was easy. She went over the tour with us, confirmed she would be with us making sure we have the best time. And we did. I have been on so many vacations and if I could take Gina as my guide every time with how passionate friendly and inviting she is I would. She also did not give up on Northern Lights she knew all the sites and best ways to increase our chances and then we waited for Mother Nature and it happened. Pick this tour for family, couples what ever your need I know Gina will take care of you. AK Bucket List Thank you for being our guide we hope to come in contact with you again.

Northern Lights - Gina was amazing! The lodge she chose was also amazing! The team was informative & helpful about the northern lights and we are excited to head back soon. Although we didn’t see lights because Mother Earth made a last minute shift in weather it was still worth going out and educating ourselves for our next adventure.
