Great way to view the Northern Lights.
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Our guide Michi was very eager to optimize our chances of seeing the Northern Lights and we liked his enthusiasm. The pick-up and drop-off process was easy and the log cabin was a cozy place to hang out inside as we waited for the lights to appear/reappear.

Wonderful Experience - They really know what they are looking for
We had a group of 19 people on this tour which included 3 SUV's on a partly cloudy night. Our guide was so determined to find something for us to see. I believe it was our 3rd stop that we were able to see the green with our cameras. We were completely satisfied with our experience.

Most bang for the buck
Entered the reception area gave our name they looked in a file and pulled out two tickets and we were done. Entered in to a large gift shop the size of a small department store and realized there were stations of free coffee everywhere. Boarding the Discovery was punctual and organized departure was on time then realized there was more free coffee everywhere. Haha A beautiful cruise down the river where I was shocked to see residents on the river run out to their yards to smile and wave a welcome. On the return we stopped at a mock village and were given a tour by native Alaskans to see what life was like both before and after western exposure. Up to now my favorite part of my Alaskan adventure and a great value.

Amazing experience! Once in a lifetime! The tour was long and exhausting.
This was a very long and exhausting drive to see the Aurora lights! It was worth it once we got to see them. Our tour picked us up at 9 PM and dropped us back at our hotel at 4:30 AM. We got to see the lights at 1 AM. Just be prepared for the long bumpy ride and the late night drop off.

Walking with the Reindeer

Private Alaskan Reindeer Encounter & Forest Walk

Walking with the Reindeer
We were in Fairbanks a day before our land journey as part of our cruise and had decided to rent a car and head towards the Chenna Hot Springs. We had seen a couple places advertising for seeing reindeer and this one was right along the way to the hot springs, so we stopped despite the website not showing any availability (the reservation system won't show anything for the same day FYI). They indicated they had an opening in about 40 minutes once the current tour completed, so we stepped next door to the cafe and grabbed a coffee and a cookie. We started off in their hut/office with Ryne learning about caribou and reindeer, what the differences were, and lots of other fun/interesting facts for maybe 10-15 minutes (legit it was interesting). Then we made our way down towards where they kept their reindeer. We knew the experience was called a "forest walk" but I think we were all a little surprised still when Ryne hooked leads to each of the 4 reindeer and handed them to us and lead us off into their woods! Yes, we were walking reindeer through the woods, as Ryne described it, kinda like walking really big lazy dogs. They were mostly interested in eating whatever fresh vegetation they could find along the way, but were pretty easy going and would come along when you coaxed them to move along. Since this was a "private" experience it really was just the 4 of us in our party, which was very nice.10/10 experience. We all kind of had the same thought, like "this is the first day of our trip and we just did THAT, not sure how the rest of our trip will compare to this. It's definitely one of our top highlights of our 12 days in Alaska.

The cabin is a nice rest stop in the cold of the night, and the guide in the cabin was invaluable. He was able to tell us exactly when the lights would shine and we were able to get some really nice pictures.

An unforgettable Arctic circle tour with Ron in Fairbanks!

Arctic Circle & Northern Lights – Dalton Highway Tour

An unforgettable Arctic circle tour with Ron in Fairbanks!
A wonderful experience with Ron to Arctic circle from Fairbanks! Ron was an excellent tour guide and driver to take a small group of us to Arctic circle in his van on Arpil 4th. He takes only 6 passengers at a time and the smal group tour gives you a very personal experience as opposed to 14-15 people tour. We had enough space to put our bags and move around in the van which was a very positive experience for a long 14 hour trip. Ron gave us plenty of time to see the attractions and take pictures on our way to Arctic circle through Dalton highway. He stopped our van to watch the northern lights when they appeared on the sky on our way back from Arctic circle. He helped us to take pictures and allowed us to spend enough time to enjoy the natural wonder! He carries a satellite phone during the trip to manage emergencies and being a very safe driver, he coordinates with the oil tankers and truck transporters on Dalton Highway to make a safe passage. Overall our experience was excellent during this trip and will definitely recommend Ron for Arctic circle tour.

Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis Viewing) Chasing with Photography in Fairbanks

Well-informed tour with great service! Highly recommend!
I booked this tour in early April, and it was an amazing experience! I felt so lucky and blessed to see the Aurora Borealis at multiple spots. The guide, David, was very experienced with 18 years of living in Alaska. He shared his chasing process with apps and took us to the best spots in Fairbanks. No lights were there, where it was perfect conditions to see the Aurora and take our own photographs with the beautiful Aurora backdrop! I could have even seen the shooting star and made a wish. We saw the dancing Aurora, and it was indescribable. My Alaska trip was all in for this Aurora, and I could have been more than happy that I could ever be while I was watching the picturesque lights over the sky. If you are a Harry Potter fan, the sky looked like the front cover of its 6th book: Half-Blood Prince. So mysterious and intriguing. I feel grateful for David and the agent who fielded questions before booking the trip and which date/time would be the best given our trip itinerary. I would recommend wearing ski clothes and gloves and bringing hot packs as it's late night in Alaska.

Michael was very determined to have us see any kind of aurora activity despite the clouds being very dense overhead. He drove our group nearly 3 hours outside of Fairbanks to see clearer skies and a glimpse of the aurora and starry skies. Even with less than 5% chance of seeing clear skies, he still made every effort to chase it down.

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.

Dalton Highway - Arctic Circle and Northern Lights Day Trip
Our tour guide, Ron, was excellent. He was well-versed about the Dalton Highway, the Arctic Circle, and the Northern Lights. Ron explained the significance of the Dalton as we rode along. His discussions allowed room for engagement, whereby it became a mini Q&A session throughout the trip. He followed the above approach with each segment of our trip from the Dalton to the Arctic Circle, to searching for the Northern Lights, which was a success.
