Rondreisopties
Reisroute
De Aurora Borealis is een van de meest verbazingwekkende natuurwonderen op aarde. Ga met ons mee op een zoektocht om het noorderlicht in en rond het Fairbanks-gebied te bekijken en te fotograferen. Afhankelijk van de weersomstandigheden van de nacht kunnen we naar onze hut gaan met een gezellig vuur, of op jacht gaan. De duur van het avondje uit en de uiteindelijke locatie zullen afhangen van de bewolking en de sterkte van de aurora. Ons team zal tussen 15.00 en 17.00 uur via een voorspeld telefoontje contact met u opnemen om details te verstrekken over de ophaaltijd, de duur van de tour en de bestemming voor de nacht.

Very professional crew. The heated yurts made the experience comfortable despite the cold, and we were lucky to witness a great aurora show. Highly recommended.
Thank you for the kind review of our Fairbanks Northern Lights Tour! We’re so glad you enjoyed the comfort of our heated yurts, it definitely makes those cold Alaska nights much more enjoyable. Even better that you were treated to a great aurora show! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience.
Of course the tour company and guides have no real control over the Aurora, but they certainly do what they can to ensure the best possible experience for us! We went on two consecutive nights and I have to think they were two of the best nights of the season. Mike and Ben were constantly checking apps that provided the latest information on conditions and they were able to educate us on what has to happen in order for the northern lights to appear. We were with them for hours, either outside watching (and you knew when to go outside because the excited yells would start), or inside the heated yurt (a necessity!). Their passion for this activity was very apparent and it rubbed off on all of us! They were very personable and available to answer questions the whole night. They took lots of pictures of the Aurora and of us to share with us which added to the experience. I can't recommend this tour enough ... as long as the conditions are favorable and I believe they have other tours for when they aren't.
Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful and detailed review of our Fairbanks Northern Lights Tour — it truly made our day! You are absolutely right that the aurora has a mind of its own, but we are so glad Mike and Ben were able to create the best possible conditions for you to experience it at its finest — two incredible nights in a row is something special! Your description of them constantly monitoring the apps, educating guests on the science behind the lights, and rallying everyone outside with excitement is exactly the experience we strive to provide. We're also so happy the heated yurt kept everyone comfortable and that the photos added a lasting memory to take home. Mike and Ben are truly passionate about what they do, and it means everything to hear that their enthusiasm was contagious. Thank you for taking the time to share such a wonderful and detailed account — reviews like this one mean the world to our entire team. We hope to have you back under the Fairbanks sky again someday!
This was the highlight of our trip! We loved the small group and the viewing options. Mike and Ben were great. 1st class all around. We recommend to everyone!
Wow, thank you so much for this amazing review of our Fairbanks Northern Lights Tour! We are absolutely thrilled that it was the highlight of your trip! Mike and Ben are two of the best in the business, and we know they will be so proud to hear your kind words. We're also glad the small group setting and viewing options added to the experience — we really do believe that's the best way to enjoy the aurora. Reviews like yours remind us why we love what we do. We hope to welcome you back under the Fairbanks sky again someday!
It’s an amazing experience that one should try in their lifetime. Ben did a wonderful job taking us to the place to see and experience the northern lights.
Thank you so much for your incredible review of our Fairbanks Northern Lights Tour! We completely agree — witnessing the aurora borealis is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we're so glad we could be part of yours. Ben is a fantastic guide and we're so proud to have him on our team. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him! We hope the magic of that night under the northern lights stays with you forever, and we'd be honored to have you join us again on a future adventure!
A very good performance of aurora show, so spectacular. Good photos showing both the person and the lights. The guide's prediction tools (various sources and good interpretation) are very professional.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you found the aurora performance so spectacular and that you were happy with the photos capturing both you and the Northern Lights. It was a pleasure having you on our tour, and we hope to see you on another adventure!
We booked an aurora chasing tour in Fairbanks, but the weather just didn't cooperate during our short stay(<3 nights). From the start, the team was incredibly transparent about the forecast. Mike gave us updates in a timely manner with details provided. They went out of their way to try rescheduling our tour to give us the best possible shot, even though it ultimately didn't work out because of our schedule. Their genuine care and flexibility made what could have been a disappointing experience feel positive and thoughtful instead. Highly recommend them for their aurora expertise, especially their exceptional kindness. Thank you for making our trip memorable in the best way. We'll definitely visit again and book a tour with them next time!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this kind and generous review. While we’re sorry the weather didn’t cooperate during your short stay, we truly appreciate your understanding and flexibility. Transparency and honest communication are very important to us, and Mike will be grateful to hear that his updates and efforts made a difference. Thank you for your recommendation and kind words. We’d love to welcome you back to Fairbanks and chase the northern lights together next time.
We received a phone call at 3PM on the date of the excursion from Jacob that our best chance to see lights was that very night. Shaggy/Mike picked us up at 9PM along with another couple from another hotel. He had a camera and tripod and knew the best settings and places to pull off the road. We had luck the very first time as early as 9:40PM! The lights for us weren't easy to see with the naked eye but when he worked his magic on the camera, there they were! We went to several other spots "chasing" (hint: look for stars!) and found other locations with better views. In the end, we were dropped off at our hotel at 3AM and a link with all of our photos was sent within 2 days. I cannot say enough about the professionalism of this tour operator! It checked off one of my priority bucket list items and I would book this again!
Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that your Northern Lights experience was everything you hoped for—and that it checked off a major bucket list item! Jacob and Mike will be so happy to know their dedication and expertise made your night unforgettable. Timing and conditions can be everything when it comes to the aurora, and we're glad we could guide you to the best spots and capture those magical moments on camera. Your kind words about our professionalism truly mean a lot, and we'd be honored to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. Until then, enjoy those photos and the memories they hold!
Excellent facilities and equipment, and a friendly and professional guide. Highly recommended experience
Thanks for leaving a review, Gregg! I'm glad we delivered a recommendable northern lights tour in Fairbanks. Thanks for traveling with us!
Had a great time seeing the lights! Ben was our guide - very energetic and took lots of great photos. Loved that the groups were small and that they give you a call the day of to go over the forecast with you. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much for your review of our Fairbanks Northern Lights Tour! Glad you had an enjoyable night chasing Aurora with guide Ben. Enjoy your photos and memories from Alaska. Safe onward travels.
We had an amazing experience with Mike and Greatland Adventures! I 100% recommend booking with Greatland Adventures for their Northern Lights Tour. Mike went above and beyond to make our experience a truly once in a lifetime trip. He’s very knowledgeable and my Dad loved talking science with him. We went out 3 nights with Mike and truly chased the lights! Rather than only having a few home bases to view the sky from, this tour also takes you on the road to reach the clear skies which is important if it’s cloudy. Mike tried his best on our first night, but the cloud coverage was not cooperating. On our second and third nights we spent some time in their warm and cozy cabin and yurts. We had success on our second AND third nights!! His team was very transparent in explaining the chances of seeing the northern lights based on their weather and Aurora forecasts. JUST BOOK THIS TOUR!!

We’re so happy to hear that you had success on the second and third nights! Your recommendation means the world to us, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back on another adventure with Greatland Adventures in the future!
