Aurora Oval Nightly Northern Lights Chase

Great tour! Lindsay is very passionate about Aurora, very knowledgeable. Took us to a remote area where no other groups were there. Very patient to take pictures in that freezing weather. Had a great time.

Standing beneath the Aurora is both humbling and breathtaking! Lindsay provided a wealth of information/knowledge, along with a blend of science, understanding and appreciation for a part of the mystery. Not only is she passionate about the experience, she is super excited to share that experience or introduce the experience to a 'first timer'. She has access to graphs and apps for Aurora activity and maximum viewing times. She also is knowledgeable about Fairbanks and the surrounding area. In the rear of the vehicle, are thermos' of hot cider and cocoa! She simply exudes happiness! And, that's how I felt spending the night with her. Including the moments of 'making snow'! She and Shannon make a great team and Bill and I are grateful for the time spent with her. Warmly, Susie Weber

If I could give 6 stars, I absolutely would! ✨ Lindsay is a gem—knowledgeable, accommodating, and just such a fun person to be around. We originally booked for November 15th, but on the morning of the 14th she emailed us to suggest going a night earlier since the aurora forecast looked much better. That turned out to be the best decision ever! A couple of nights before, we had already seen an incredible aurora show at Borealis Basecamp and thought nothing could top it. We were wrong. Lindsay picked us up right at our Airbnb and took us to several beautiful spots to chase the lights. Along the way, she shared fascinating insights about the science behind the aurora, the night sky, and the stars. Our two kids (ages 8 and 12) were completely engaged and had an absolute blast learning from her. What really stood out was the care Lindsay took to make sure we were all comfortable in the cold. She came prepared with hand and foot warmers, hot drinks, and snacks. Her car was warm, roomy, and cozy—perfect for the kids to hop in and warm up while we waited for the lights to appear. She even helped us capture photos with the aurora, which we’ll treasure forever. The grand finale was breathtaking: at our last viewing spot, the aurora danced vividly across the sky, right before our eyes. It was pure magic—an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. To top it all off, Lindsay surprised the kids with a thoughtful little gift at the end of the night, which made them so happy (and us too!). Wandering Alaska delivered far beyond our expectations, and Lindsay made the entire evening extraordinary. If you’re considering an aurora tour, don’t hesitate—book with Lindsay. You’ll walk away with memories that shine as brightly as the northern lights themselves. 🌌💚

Had the best time Lindsay is very professional but very personable. She never lets us down. Came last year and she just keeps getting better and better . Her knowledge of the aurora is amazing . If you can only go on one tour you won't want to miss this company. .she always manages to find spectacular lights . Well worth the money I highly recommend.

We went out with this company as a group of 16. They made sure to have plenty of qualified guides to help with camera set ups, pointing out where the lights were, interesting facts about what the data meant, and great hot drinks and snacks. They took amazing photos of everyone under the lights. I would highly recommend this company and will be going out with them on my next trip to Fairbanks.

Though the tour had to be canceled due to cloudy conditions, Lindsay kept me updated regularly and provided generous options as the night went on. It was clear she was rooting for a break in the clouds right until the end. And even though I was already booked the next night with a different guide, she's sent me a text that next day to let me know that the night should be great for aurora viewing. I really appreciated her effort and professionalism, and I look forward to booking with Wandering Alaska again on my next visit to Fairbanks!
