Traveler reviews
Milo was...
Milo was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire experience. We were fortunate to witness a breathtaking aurora dancing across the sky and even captured the magical moment on video. This made my birthday truly unforgettable, Thank you, Milo! 🌌✨
Disappointed
Not very good, coming to see the Auroras, because of the whether not been able to see them disappointed and you guys knew there was almost 0 chance of see in them and not cancel the tour, also over price, and vehicles need to be upgraded for the long ride and rough terrain
Great tour, great guide, no lights - not for lack of trying!
Jessica was a fantastic tour guide for our trip. Very knowledgeable and willing to answer any and all questions. She took great care of OC us and the drive truly wasn’t bad (though long). She made every effort to find the lights on the way back but the weather did us in.
Thank you Alaska Wild Lights

Our guide was Milo -A++++++. His knowledge and enthusiasm were quite evident during our adventure. I highly recommend this tour and with Milo, you’d be in great hands. I’m sure the other tour guides are great as well. We too lots of great shots of the Northern lights on our trip. My wife and high are extremely pleased.
