The best aurora experience!! - 예약부터 실제 오로라 체이싱까지 정말 친절하시고 최고였습니다!! 오로라투어를 오랬동안 전문적으로 하셔서 하늘과 날씨 상태를 보시면서 최선을 다해 오로라를 체이싱해주십니다. 저는 이틀동안 신청했었는데 첫쨋날은 구름이 많아 초반에 보기 힘들었으나 마지막에 결국 잘 볼 수 있는 곳으로 끝까지 찾아주셔서 난생처음 맨눈으로 엄청나게 아름답고 웅장한 오로라를 볼 수 있었습니다. 두번째날에는 오로라지수가 강력하지않아 맨눈으로는 잘 안보였지만 좋은 장소들을 찾아내주시고 여러 오로라와 함께하는 예쁜 사진도 많이 찍어주셨습니다. 덕분에 다양한 모습의 오로라를 볼 수 있었습니다. 좋은사진들을 최대한 많이 찍어주시려하는 모습과 페어뱅크스와 오로라를 최대한 즐길 수 있게 도와주시는 사장님과 가이드분들 덕분에 행복한 여행을 할 수 있었습니다. 곧 다시 또 오겠습니다!! 오로라를 보고싶으신 분들에게 강력추천합니다! From the booking process to the actual aurora chasing, everything was incredibly friendly and top-notch! They’ve been doing aurora tours professionally for many years, so they observe the sky and weather conditions closely and do their best to chase the auroras. I booked for two days, and on the first day, the clouds were heavy, making it hard to see the aurora at first. However, they kept searching for the best spot, and in the end, I was able to see the most breathtaking and magnificent aurora with my own eyes for the very first time. On the second day, the aurora forecast wasn’t as strong, so it wasn’t visible to the naked eye, but they managed to find great locations and took many beautiful photos with the auroras. Thanks to them, I got to see the aurora in many different forms. Their effort to take as many good photos as possible and the support from the owner and guides to help me enjoy Fairbanks and the auroras to the fullest made this a truly happy trip. I will definitely come back again soon! I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to see the aurora!

Borealis Beauty - As David shared, we were very blessed with an amazing display at our first stop. Understanding there are no guarantees of seeing the lights, this team is clearly committed to increasing your odds of encountering the truly awesome Aurora. Gratitude to Kaylee for excellent driving and commentary, and the team for beautiful pictures.

Once in a life aurora tour - I joined 3 days of this tour since our main focus on this trip was to watch aurora. And it was just fantastic. Even one day we almost gave up due to clouds, they were so professional and luckily was able to see the light. Also the road can be little be tough especially to drive at night at Fairbanks, but they all knew well and were professionals with this area. I strongly recommend this tour, it is once in a life time tour.

Fantastic Aurora Tour - This Aurora tour was a really special experience as it was one of my bucket lists. The guides who conducted the tour were very friendly and professional, sharing a variety of information and observation tips about Aurora. It allowed me to have a deeper experience. In addition to seeing Aurora, the beautiful surrounding landscape and the quiet times in the stars were added to make it a truly unforgettable memory. Thanks again, through this experience I was able to feel the wonders of nature.

No restroom for hours - Staff was friendly and event was fun but it was unpleasant for me since I'm pregnant and there was no restroom for hours and I had to hold my pee during the whole time and I was never taken to a restroom even after I told them. If your pregnant or have a small bladder this is not for you other than that it was great.
