Alaska Aurora One-stop Tour - I attended the Aurora Chase tour, the dog skating tour and it was so nice. Not just Aurora, but also other tours and accommodation in the Alaska region, so those who don't like to get busy should check out. Dog cutting is better done before April. Aurora Chase is professional.

Alaska Became a Memory, Not Just a Destination - Visiting Alaska was already a dream come true, but this tour turned it into an unforgettable adventure. From start to finish, every day of the 5-night journey was filled with wonder, making time fly by faster than I ever expected—it honestly felt too short! The itinerary was thoughtfully organized, with clear and detailed guidance that made everything smooth and stress-free. At every destination, our guide shared local tips and hidden gems that only a true expert would know. What really stood out was how flexible and responsive they were to our extra requests—going the extra mile to make sure our experience was personalized and complete. Thanks to this tour, Alaska became more than just a destination—it became a collection of memories we’ll treasure forever. 알래스카에 가는 것만으로도 벅찼는데, 이 투어 덕분에 정말 잊지 못할 추억을 만들 수 있었습니다. 여행 전부터 여러가지 사진도 공유해주시고, 준비해야 할 것들도 챙겨주신 덕분에, 현지에서 우왕좌왕 하지 않고 잘 즐기다 왔습니다. 신혼여행의 시작으로 진행했던 5박 일정이 너무 짧게 느껴질 만큼 매일이 즐거웠어요. 오로라 시즌의 마지막이었지만 잘 챙겨주신 덕분에 오로라도 첫날부터 볼 수 있어서 정말 황홀했어요. 안내도 꼼꼼했고, 현지 정보나 팁도 아낌없이 알려주셔서 큰 도움이 됐습니다. 중간 중간 챙겨주셨던 간식거리과 추천해주시는 활동과 음식들은 이 여행을 더 충만하게 만들어준 것 같아요. 오로라 체이싱할 때에는 충분한 시간을 갖고 볼 수 있게 도와주시고, 사진도 열심히 찍어주셨고요. 픽업부터 샌딩까지 모든 일정을 안전하게 차량으로 이동할 수 있어서 마음 놓고 여행할 수 있었다는 장점도 있습니다. 또, 저희의 추가 요청에도 유연하게 대응해주셔서 여행이 더 만족스러웠습니다. 덕분에 알래스카는 제게 단순한 여행지를 넘어 소중한 기억이 된 곳이 되었어요. 한국인이라면 알래스카 페어뱅크스에서의 시간을 이곳 Alaska Journey Tours와 함께 하시면 후회 없으실 겁니다 :)

A Real High-Light Of My Amazing Alaska Adventure! - Excellent tour with an amazing sky of Northern Lights that night. The service was excellent by the company including transportation, food, beverages, campfire and photos at the end. Highly recommend this tour, and I am a professional travel writer.

Nice experience - We were picked up from the hotel and haven't gotten far enough, the Aurora came up. Our guide took us to an empty field without wasting time and we were able to watch the Aurora for a good time. He captured wonderful pictures of us. Though we had a good watch of the Aurora, he still took us to other spots to check if can see more. Nice tour.

Great aurora viewing experience! - We enjoyed our experience very much! We were led to different locations by David (who also took photos for everyone and shared them with us the next day). He was very knowledgeable about the aurora and when/where we’d be able to see them best. He was eager for us to enjoy our evening and to get to see the aurora. Our driver Jeremy was also great.

Chase it down - It was a last minute booking coz the Private Arctic circle tour was cancelled unilaterally by the tour guide. Really glad we made this spur of the moment decision. Had breathtaking views of Aurora on a kp3 night. Thanks to the guide who made sure we “chase down” the dancing lights. Took us to exceptionally vantage points for unhindered view. Just brilliant!! Definitely recommend this.

Highly recommend it - This was our first time visiting Alaska. I had a memorable experience on this tour. We saw the aurora in different locations, and the team was flexible and worked great with us despite our schedule change. The guide was knowledgeable about the northern lights and the region, which made the experience even better. The entire trip was well-organized, and we left with unforgettable memories. Highly recommend this tour!

Joy and David were our... - Joy and David were our photographer and navigators. Even though the conditions were not the best due to being partly cloudy David was really knowledgeable and finding the lights even with all the clouds and Joy kept us comfortable throughout the event. They both did their best to capture great pictures despite unfavorable conditions. Would recommend!
