    "We saw the most incredible display — greens, purples, the whole sky moving. Our guide knew exactly where to go and we had the spot to ourselves."

    Sarah M. · Anchorage Tour
    ★★★★★

    "Worth every penny. The forecast call that afternoon was so reassuring — we knew what to expect before we even got in the van. Came home with photos I'll print forever."

    ★★★★★

    "Booked the private tour for our family of 5. Our guide was patient with the kids and helped everyone get a great photo. A bucket list night I'll never forget."

    Common Questions
    Everything You
    Need to Know
    What if there are no northern lights?

    If sky conditions are unfavorable (less than 10% probability of success), we cancel the tour and issue a full weather refund. No games, no credits — just your money back.

    Do you really pick me up at my hotel?

    Yes — hotel pickup is included at most Anchorage and Fairbanks hotels. Not available for Airbnb, VRBO, or Alyeska Resort, but we can arrange a nearby hotel dropoff.

    How cold does it get out there?

    It depends on the month — from mild in September to extremely cold in January. We send a gear list with every booking and our warm vehicles make a huge difference.

    Can my kids come?

    Minimum age is 13 for small-group tours. For families with younger children, our private tours are the perfect option — suitable for all ages.

    How many people will be on my tour?

    Small-group tours cap at 7 guests per guide. For a fully private experience, book a private tour — 1 to 8 guests in Anchorage, up to 12 in Fairbanks.

    When should I book?

    As early as possible. Peak months (September, October, February, March) fill weeks in advance. Minimum 24 hours before your desired date.
