Traveler reviews
Equinox Night was FANTASTIC!
Savvy was a great tour guide. Lady Aurora really showed herself!! Fantastic night! Great information given. It was about -25 so with the rental gear only my face was cold. I went inside and warmed up when needed. Thanks for a PERFECT night!
Aurora Lights at the Lodge
It was a wonderful tour. Our guide was very nice, talkative, and helpful. We got to learn more about Fairbanks and the Aurora lights through him. We also got to see a spectacular show of the lights that night. We were very lucky.
Amazing Northern Lights Experience!
We had a fantastic night on this tour! Our guide, Tony, was absolutely wonderful. He was so thoughtful and made sure to take care of every single person in the group. You could really tell he cares about his guests. The cabin we went to was perfectly located and very warm and cozy, which made waiting for the lights so comfortable. And the aurora itself? Absolutely breathtaking! It was truly a memorable night. Highly recommended!
Great
Our driver was great, very friendly and with lots of information about living in alaska. Aurora was there and the lodge had a bar we could buy drinks and pool table and arcade to wait for the lights
Unforgettable aurora viewing
Unforgettable Aurora viewing experience with our guide Savvy, and the lodge kept us from freezing in -15 degrees. Highly recommend!!!
