Overview

Experience the authentic Alaskan Aurora with our professional tour. Our remote/private location is perfect for those looking to avoid crowded tours and pullouts. We chase the lights only when necessary, allowing you to enjoy the comfort of our lodge which is actually our personal home and its amenities. Our local Alaskan native guide has grown up experiencing this natural phenomenon and knows where to find it.

We want you to go home with excellent northern lights photos of your own. That is why your experienced guide will teach you how to set up your personal camera equipment. Our professional aurora portrait included will be a cherished memento of your unforgettable experience.

Our 15-passenger van ensures your comfort and warmth during the trip. Book with a born and raised Alaskan, familiar with the area and the aurora, to make your dream come true. When we say small group, we mean it-max 10 people per tour. Unlike others who pack 15+ or run multiple vans together.
