Highly recommended tour! - Wonderful time to see the aurora! Great location and excellent host. Michael was very kind and he took professional pictures that he sent to us almost immediately, apart form the ones you can take with your cell or camera . The glass house is really warm, you can be in and out as you please. Highly recommended

Warm, Comfortable, and Truly Memorable Aurora Experience - Our tour guide, Michael, was prompt, friendly, and very helpful, especially when it came to taking photos for us. The glass viewing house itself is new, spotless, and beautifully warm — a huge advantage in the cold. What really stood out was the flexibility: we could relax inside with clear, panoramic visibility, then step outside instantly when the lights started dancing more intensely. That balance of comfort and immersion made all the difference. Experiencing something this magical without battling the cold allowed us to fully take it in. We left feeling both amazed and grateful — it’s a night we won’t forget. Thank you, Michael!

Cleary Summit Aurora Glass House - Aurora is a natural phenomena and cannot be predicted with certainty. The date I chose couldn't have been any better, 🤩👍🏼

Great experience, knowledgeable hosts! - It's a pretty straightforward experience. The host picks you up at your hotel (if you select that option). It's a 35 minute drive to the aurora house, and the guides will take pictures and you can take video and such on your phone. For the night I went, the aurora was visible at 10:30 pm and 2 am. So there can be a gap between sightings.

A must see! - We had such a great experience on the Aurora Glass House Northern Lights tour! It was super convenient—only about a 30-minute drive from our hotel, and the pickup and drop-off made everything stress-free. The small group size made it feel really personal and comfortable. The Glass House itself was a perfect setup, with snacks and warm drinks available, which we definitely appreciated in the cold. Our driver/guide was amazing—friendly, attentive, and really made the experience special. He kept a close eye on the sky and made sure to alert us every time the northern lights started to appear and dance, which was incredible to witness. We also loved that we could warm up inside the house whenever we needed, without worrying about missing anything. The only small critique is that the tour ran a bit long at the end. The lights stopped about an hour before the tour wrapped up, so we ended up just waiting around while feeling pretty tired. That said, it didn’t take away too much from an otherwise amazing experience. Overall, I would absolutely book this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone hoping to see the northern lights in a cozy and well-organized setting! We received the photos from the evening the next morning. Such a treat!
