For this aurora tour, your group will travel to a remote/private location where you'll enjoy the night all to yourselves. Avoid the crowded uncomfortable vans, big group tours, overcrowded pullouts, and the cloudy skies. We chase the lights only when necessary, otherwise enjoy the comfort of the lodge and its amenities.
You'll be guided by a local Alaskan native who knows the area and where to go and has grown up experiencing this natural phenomenon.
Your local guide will teach you how to set up your personal camera equipment so that you go home with excellent northern lights photos of your own. You can choose to rent one of our cameras at the time of booking if you don't have your own.
You'll be picked up in our 15-passenger van where you'll enjoy the comfort and warmth while keeping an eye out for the aurora on the way.
