If you want the best Northern Lights excursion, look no further! - If I could give this tour 10 stars out of 5, I would have! Our guide, Nate, went out of his way to seek out clear skies on a cloudy night. He knows all the best places to go. The van is spacious and comfortable. Nate is personable, punctual, a great driver, and took such good care of us. We were taken out onto a frozen lake where he built a beautiful warming fire and put out a spread of delicious food and drinks. Our group ranged in ages from 8 to 72, and he made sure that each of us had the best time. While he obviously has no control of what kind of aurora show we will get, the skies did not disappoint! Nate took amazing pictures and time lapse movies that he promptly sent in the morning. We did a cabin excursion earlier in the week, and this was hands down the better experience.

Phenomenal Experience / Service - Tour guide Nate is phenomenal! Extremely personable, knowledgeable, attentive, great photographer and technically proficient. As his website states, tell him what you want and he will make it happen! Nate is fully prepared for a looong cold evening (fire, food,, fun, and hot beverages) I highly recommend Nate’s 5 star service!

Amazing service and experience - Note is a super guide. My sister booked with him not knowing much about his company and service but we are left very satisfied with our experience. Nate was on time picking up at 9pm and dropped us off at 5am. He took us to Birch lake and set up a bon fire in the middle of the frozen lake. He had everything ready for us even extra blankets n coats to keep us warm. Took pictures and shared with us the next day. He was very flexible and friendly. Wish many more people know about him and his company.

Great Experience With All The Extras Included - We had a great experience. Nate was constantly checking on everyone and asking if we needed anything. He had extra blankets, mittens, hats, etc which was great because it was a cold windy night. He had all the “extras” for us including a variety of snacks, drinks, a fire pit, chairs and even rubber pieces to stand on to help with the cold feet so we weren’t standing directly on the snow. On our way back he was constantly looking and even pulled over a few times to check on the aurora and see if she was putting on another show. Nate took photos and videos which he sent to me before I even woke up the next morning. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend Nate. I truly felt like it was all about us and he would keep us out for as little or long as we wanted.

The Best Aurora/Northern Lights Tour Ever! - This is the Northern Lights viewing Experience you are looking for! Knowledgeable guide, great location, hot drinks, FREE PROFESSIONAL Aurora photography of you under the Aurora. Our Guide was organized, made a warm fire for us to make smores and popcorn over. We also had Reindeer hot dogs that we warmed over the fire. Small groups, private option is available just ask. We went to 4 different aurora tours and this tour knocked the others out of the park! I can’t recommend this tour enough. We enjoyed our time so much with our Guide we booked our chena hotsprings northern lights viewing experience with him! Oh and you get picked up right at your lodging and dropped off there so no driving after a long night of fun!

In search of Northern Lights! - Always wanted to see the Northern Lights! This was an awesome tour! Nate, our tour guide was so friendly and picked us up right on time! We headed out of town and he spotted the lites right away! We made 2 stops for photos before ending up at a beautiful lake. Nate made some awesome pictures, showed me how to use my phone for the best photos. He had thought of everything for our comfort and safety, providing a campfire, hot cocoa and chairs! We had a fabulous evening and we did get very lucky with nice weather and early viewing! A definite bucket list item! Thank Nate!

Magical Aurora - Excellent services. Nate ensured I had a great experience during our aurora viewing tour. He is a kind and caring person and made sure I was comfortable during our outing in the cold weather, and also made a campfire and fixed hot chocolate. He also made sure to include picture taking opportunities. He picked me up and dropped me off at my lodgings. We had a good time hanging out watching the sky, and even saw two shooting stars. We were lucky and fortunate to see the northern lights in their full glory - it was magical! Nate enjoys what he does. I would definitely use his services again.
