Aurora Travel - I was able to apply because I was traveling alone and had no car and was very satisfied. Small tours The Aurora timing was fluidly adjusted, allowing the tour to take place at the best view of the Aurora. He took the photos very hard and immediately shared them. You took almost dozens of photos and it was great that they were all included in the tour price! Thanks to this, it was a very short trip but I was able to see Aurora well. Recommended!!

1000% Satisfaction with our friendly guide! - Aurora Hunting with Korean guide It was originally reserved for another day of the trip. I contacted you that the Aurora index was strong and changed your booking date to get the Aurora tour. Thanks to this, I was able to see Aurora and I thought that in this section, it was worth taking care of our customers! First of all, you are Korean. Language was good and friendly (English is good too!) Some of the people who were on the tour were American, but they explained it in two languages, English and Korean, so they couldn't speak English. If you have any questions, please let us feel comfortable, move around the place and go hunting Aurora. Thanks to this, we got a lot of favourite photos, we got a good camera, and we were so happy to save a lot of life shots. And if it's cold, you can get in the car first and wait. Heather is very kind. Next time I'll come to Fairbanks for the Aurora tour, I think I'll continue here! ⚡

Aurora took a life shot. - Aurora didn't fly on the first day and was worried about her heart, but on the second day she felt really good. Thanks to this, I took a good photo under the Aurora. I also took a city tour during the day, but it was so good to take a good photo. The photos were good in Chinatown too. And if the guide hadn't told me about Denali Mountain, it would have been almost overdue, so I took a good picture. Aurora app was the first time I saw it and it was very useful. It was nice to run to a place that looks good. And I was so grateful for driving me to the station on the third day. Thanks to this, I was able to ride the train on time, and I was able to take a lot of great photos as I went down to Anchorage.

The Best Experience in Fairbanks - Led by aurora-hunting experts with decades of experience, this tour takes you to the best private locations based on aurora forecasts and weather conditions. While witnessing the aurora ultimately depends on nature’s cooperation, your guide will tirelessly search for better spots to maximize your chances of seeing it. Since the northern lights are at the mercy of the skies, the tour cannot guarantee a sighting. However, if you don’t see the aurora on this tour, it’s safe to assume that no other tour could have shown it that night.

Strike. The most sure way to see Aurora in Fairbanks. - Strike. The best way to see Aurora in Fairbanks. If you can't see it from here, it's a day no one sees it. Chasing until unconditionally seen. In a word, people crazy about Aurora. There is also a Korean guide, so tell us when booking.

A night to remember - David was a great guide!! The weather was not at all the best, they gave cloudy all night and with a poor view of the dawn. Despite this, however, we began our hunt with him in his SUV with other people. He was super nice, he showed us how to observe the movements of the aurora from the app to keep us updated as we moved. We shot four different spots, following the movement of the sky and in the end, thanks to his knowledge, we found the right one, the stars and the dawn!! Here he took several pictures of us with his professional camera. Returned after almost 5 hours, it was all worth it!!

The best day of my life - I was skeptical we would not see the Aurora because it was cloudy. But David was patient and determined to give us the best experience. He took us to different locations to find a clear sky until the last stop. It was an awesome experience. David took lots of pictures and everyone had chances to take pictures like we were in the movies. We had so much fun. This tour was worth the wait and for what it’s worth. Thank you Viator for giving us a beautiful memory that will forever live in us.
