Amazing Aurora Journey - Mo was a wonderful guide! He took us to locations that had a lot of aurora activity! He took phenomenal photos and provided the group with all. We also stopped at a cabin where we could warm up and have hot drinks and snacks and view the aurora as well! Mo was knowledgeable and very friendly.

Best Aurora tour - Our tour guide Mo was outstanding! I've been on other Aurora tours prior, and this one by far has been the best experience! Our group has the most amazing evening!

Awesome experience! - The tour was awesome! The setup was very considerate for the type of condition, especially the extreme temps here in Yellowknife, where they provided a lodge while waiting for the aurora to do its thing! We managed to see extraordinary aurora under very clear skies! Highly recommended!

Amazing, worth every cent! - Amazing experience! From the time we were picked up at our hotel by Mo, for the full 4 hours. About 12 people in our combined group headed out to the frozen lake, and there they were! The Aurora just kept getting better as the night progressed! The lodge made the difference - warm, hot drinks and snacks, rest room and just outside a deck to see the Aurora. Very special. We all took our photos but were also given Mo’s professional shots via a link. Worth every cent, would do it again in a heartbeat!!

Great venue to view aurora - Great venue to view aurora, but warm up for a few minutes when necessary. Lots of professional quality pictures made by staff.

Amazing tour, amazing photos! - This was a really great tour! We were lucky enough to have a clear night and saw the Aurora dancing and very clearly for almost the entire tour. We first stopped at a lake and then went to their lodge. The lodge was beautiful and there were snacks and hot drinks. Our tour guide, Mo was super kind. He took photos all night for everyone. He’s clearly very passionate about the lights and photography. He gives everyone all of the photos he takes for free, which most companies don’t do, so that’s a huge bonus. He explained everything in a couple different languages so everyone could understand him. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Chasing Northern Lights: Grand Appearances - Wu Mo our guide wins 1st place for his efforts to watch for the Northern Lights at the lodge. When they were strongest, the warm lodge guests filed out to see beautiful views and pictures. MO’s professional photographs were even better. He sent all tourists copies. Wow.

Pretty Good - Guide was great, bus comfortable. My main complaint was that the lodge was smelly , did not have enough chairs and the food served was very ordinary, just cheap biscuits and instant coffee/chocolate. The view from the lodge was also less than ideal.

Cloudy all night,... - Cloudy all night, obviously could not be helped. The Aurora "lodge" was nothing like the photo in the promotion

Not a photography tour. - We went on 5 different tours on consecutive nights, this is one we would not do again. Our primary objective was on photographing the lights using a good camera and tripod. Pretty much everyone else on the bus was trying to take pics with phone cameras. The lodge was messy, but it was warm. I believe this group caters to Asian groups, so we were all cramped together in a small bus with virtually no leg room. And it seemed like the 'chasing' meant stopping in one or two different roadside parking lots on the way to the lodge, and then on the way back, so not so much in the chasing department. That said, the tour guide was nice and generally receptive to questions.
