It was a great experience with Japanese OK & reasonable price with pick up. We enjoyed the Wildlife Preserve and Takhini Hot Spring tour and also we were very happy to see Aurora on our last night. I used it for two days in a row, and there were other Japanese people in both cases. The whole organisation was really good and the people were soo nice and they try their best to give you unforgettable moments... We enjoyed the Wildlife Preserve and Takhini Hot Spring tour.
Amazing hospitality. Comfortable lodge, very knowledgeable hosts. Accommodating to all our needs (help walking in icy spots). Viewing was great! We were able to get excellent Aurora pictures with our iPhones.
A way to see the aurora in the comfort of a lodge. We joined this venue the day we flew into Fairbanks. After 9 hours on a plane we did not want to sit for hours in a van looking for the aurora. After 5-6 hours of rest, Michi, the owner picked us up from our hotel around 9:30 pm. The tour began with a slight hiccup... the van developed a flat tire. Michi handled this very professionally, hired a back-up van and driver and had us on our way about a half hour later. Upon arrival at the lodge, it was cozy and warm with cookies and hot coffee, tea and chocolate provided. Aurora activity began almost immediately upon our arrival (KP index 7) and remained active entire time we were at the lodge. Michi provided instructions on how to use night mode on an iphone to take pictures. He kept a look out and directed us to the best location on the property to see the aurora thru out the night. He seemed quite knowledgeable as was able to predict when the aurora would peak. He was a great host. Rest room was available. Overall, a great way to end the day upon your arrival in Fairbanks. I recommend this tour.
Great experience! Owner was so kind, and had a very awesome place to view the lights! I also loved the pick up and drop off.
I would highly recommend this tour company! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, comfortable, and truly magical. We were picked up right on time from the Westmark in Fairbanks and taken about 50 minutes outside the city to a perfect viewing location. The lodge was warm and welcoming, comfortably accommodating around 20–25 people, and stocked with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate so we could relax while waiting for the aurora to appear. And when the aurora borealis showed up…wow. It did not disappoint! Watching the lights dance across the sky was absolutely breathtaking. What made the experience even more special was our guide, Michi. He was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what he does. He kept a close eye on the skies and let us know exactly when to step outside for the best viewing, which made all the difference. This tour struck the perfect balance of comfort and adventure. If you’re heading to Fairbanks and hoping to see the northern lights, this is absolutely the way to do it!
great tour, super knowledgeable owner, great cabin, and best of all we got to see Aurora multiple times from 10 pm to 2 am
Michi is a great host. He is knowledgeable and very helpful. He knew most everything about the Northern lights. Was very helpful with our iPhones for pictures. I loved his lodge.
Householder is a nice person who will teach you how to set the phone setting for taking photo of northern light.
Michi has a lot of knowledge, he is so friendly and his yurt was pretty, cozy, comfortable and warm Michi knows a lot about the lights, and how to locate it
Seeing the Northern Lights was a failure due to the weather but Michi gave it a gallent effort. He is very knowledgeable and you can tell he has a lot of experience.
