Aurora Viewing – Aurora Husky Lodge, Great view from top of the ridge

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.

Great trip. The guide made an active effort to make sure we had the opportunity to catch as much as possible. He was patient and taught skills to those on board that have never fished and us beginners who got our lines snagged. We stayed out a bit longer than planned to accommodate group requests. Great trip!

Sam was our guide he was absolutely the best! Lots of great stories and information from the time he picked us at our hotel, till the he dropped us back off at the hotel. He stayed with us the whole time we were at Chena Hot Springs Resot and Aurora Ice Museum. We even got to see moose traveling to and from Chena. Lots of interesting things to see and do there! We visited the Ice Museum, the Geo Thermal Power and the Geo Thermal Green House tours and they wer all fun and informative. We had great guides for each. They also had side by side atv and a electic atv tours as well. Swimming in the natural hot spring water was was amazing. This was a great fun and relaxing way to start off our Holland America land and cruise tour after our long flight here. We would definitely do this tour again but change it up a little. We would tey it as a night tour or a winter tour as well.

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.

Dancing Lights in the Sky on an Aurora RV Tour Adventure
I7782TYcarold, Apr 2026
Warm and Cozy
Daniel communicated well and arrived on time. We were greeted to a warm and cozy RV that made traveling a breeze. Once we arrived at the Aurora Viewing Sphere, Daniel started the heaters in the sphere, while we stayed warm in the RV. It was only a total of 4 of us on the tour, so we had free run of the sphere. There were plenty of snacks to nibble on and drinks. My son and I spent a lot of time outside playing in the snow and exploring around the sphere. Right about midnight Daniel alerted us to the aurora activity. It was such a beautiful site. We could see the colors with our naked eye, but through our cell phone lens (change the settings to "pro" and slow the speed of the lens) we could see the lights dance. For the next couple of hours Daniel would come and alert us when the light show would start up again. There was a bathroom in the rv for us to use, plus a port-a-potty near the parking lot. We had more aurora chases scheduled for the next 2 nights with a different company, but they ended up getting canceled due to cloud cover. Thanks to Daniel taking us out on our first night, we left our vacation very satisfied with our aurora encounter. It was a magical night and everything I hoped it would be.

We had the most amazing experience as a family. We went on our sled ride and then had the opportunity to meet the dogs and their friends, give them some love and ask lots of questions. My 5year old had the best time as did we bigger kids- the parents. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Cleary Summit Aurora Glass House Luxury Northern Lights Tour

A fantastic way to view the aurora!
While there’s no guarantee you’ll see the aurora, this is a fantastic way to try!! We were very lucky and had a terrific aurora the night we went, but regardless, the host managed all the details perfectly! The transportation was on time and comfortable, the glass house was amazing in a great location and very comfortable. It was warm and cozy with nice snacks and hot drinks, comfy chairs, a clean rest room, and the possibility of terrific views through the floor to ceiling windows. The hosts were friendly and helpful, alerting us when the aurora was appearing so we wouldn’t miss it. One of the hosts very expertly took our pictures outside with the aurora behind us and conveniently sent them to us afterwards. We highly recommend this experience! It was definitely worth it!
