A grand winter adventure! - I can say for sure that this is the by far one of the very best tours for the Northern lights up in Fairbanks. You will get the most experience tour leaders who can answer your questions about the Northern lights and take memorable pictures with the Northern lights. I'm very glad I left the driving and chasing to the professional and appreciated the Northern lights viewing at multiple locations around Fairbanks.

Got to see the auroras dancing! - This was an amazing experience with my daughter. A bucket list & birthday celebration I’ll never forget. Thanks to the entire staff & my tour guide Andrew & Leo. We got to experience the auroras dancing before the tour was over. This is a must tour if you want to get the experience we had. I am definitely wanting to do this again.

Unforgettable Aurora Chasing - I came to Fairbanks with my family for a trip to Aurora. We applied for Aurora Chasing and departed under Mr. David's insole. Starting with the expectation that there was no chance of seeing Aurora, Mr. David went through many places without giving up for a long time until dawn and finally saw Aurora that would never be forgotten. Thank you very much for your effort to see the wonderful Aurora even in the difficult weather and the low Aurora. You created unforgettable memories of life. I would like to recommend this Aurora Chasing to all Fairbanks travellers.

If you want to enjoy Aurora to the full, we strongly recommend - <오로라를 관측하는 과정에 있어서> Weather and the Aurora observation index, and decades of know-how move us to places where Aurora is most likely to be seen. More fervently than anyone else, travelers are chasing and hoping to see Aurora. <오로라를 관측했다면> Really perfect. From the moment you see Aurora, you take beautiful photos professionally. Includes even photo sharing within the product. Over time, the Aurora moves, and if the Aurora weakens or is not visible, it moves to another spot. Based on local experience and know-how, we were able to successfully reconsider Aurora. Our team observed Aurora in three spots, each spots had a different atmosphere so we could always enjoy a new one. If you want to observe Aurora, and if you want to observe and enjoy it more perfectly when the sky allows you to observe it, we strongly recommend this product

Love the photos - I went on the aurora tour by myself and honestly had the best time. The guide knew exactly where to find the best viewing spots, so I got to see an amazing display on the first try. They also took tons of professional photos for me and the quality was insane. Super friendly, super smooth, and totally worth it.

Two Sleepless Nights, One Perfect Aurora Moment - I traveled to Fairbanks hoping to see the northern lights, and I originally thought that staying at Chena Hot Springs Resort would almost guarantee a good view of the aurora. However, even after spending two nights at Chena—barely sleeping and watching the sky all night—I couldn’t see the aurora at all. I was getting anxious and disappointed, but then I came across an aurora chasing tour operated by a Korean owner and immediately booked it. On the day of the tour, Manager David came directly to my hotel to pick me up, which was very convenient. Usually, the aurora appears after 10 PM, but David checked the conditions and told us, “Tonight, it looks like the aurora might show up earlier.” So we met at 9:30 PM and headed straight to the viewing point. His judgment was absolutely spot-on. As soon as we arrived at the spot, the aurora appeared immediately, and multiple auroras started dancing across different parts of the sky at the same time. It was an unforgettable and breathtaking moment. After two sleepless nights at Chena with no luck, seeing the aurora instantly during the tour felt almost unbelievable. David also took lots of photos for us, so I was able to keep beautiful memories both in my eyes and in pictures. He was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive throughout the entire tour. This became the most memorable moment of my trip, and I truly highly recommend this aurora chasing tour if you want to make sure you see the northern lights.

Amazing host - We traveled to Fairbanks for our elopement and to chase the northern lights. Unfortunately, the night that we booked the tour, the weather was very cloudy. We were given the option to refund, reschedule, or still try for that night. Our flight back home was at 1:45 AM the next night, so we informed the host that we would love to try again but had a flight home. They offered to drop us back off at the pick up point to make our flight, we agreed! David was an amazing guide. He was so kind, hospitable, and a great photographer. He went out of his way to assist us with finding our lost rental car key. We were SO thankful for him. The moon was nearly full, so the lights were pretty obstructed, but we did get a glimpse and some very good photos! The photos were sent to us less than 24 hours later. We plan to revisit Fairbanks in the future, and will definitely choose this group again.
