Our guide Anthony promptly picked us up from the hotel, very safe driver in the winter advisory snow storm, very kind, knowledgeable, accommodating! I will be back to do the Aurora Tour again in late August! Loved the experience and highly recommended tour - 5 stars experience!
This tour was beyond fantastic! Our guide drove us to the most ideal spot to view the lights, and he took the best photos anyone could ask for. It takes skill to capture the lights, and he did it perfectly! I went with my husband, twin sister, and my 6 year old son. I highly recommend this trip for anyone who is looking for adventure. The cost of the tour is also a steal for exclusive access to one of the world’s best views.
Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to leave us a positive review
Coming in late April to see the auroras, we knew it was going to be difficult to see them… but I’m leaving this review because first of all, it is not a northern lights tour. I have done this tour in Europe and the guide takes you to different places to catch the auroras and find the perfect place to see them. Unfortunately this tour gave us no information about the auroras at all ! Antonio just left us at the hot springs and that’s it. Then we took us back to the hotel. We didn’t have a northern lights tour, it was just a drive to the hot springs. The hot springs where so cool but that wasn’t the tour we asked for. Also something that is quite disappointing is that during this time of the year there’s a lot of light in the sky even after 1:00 am, so the chances of seeing the auroras is very very low. The worst of all the experience is that we booked another activity with Antonio for the next day, and he never came to pick us up !! We payed a tour and he never came. He didn’t answered the phone and gave us no response at all.
Hello, You have booked a round trip to Chena Hot Spring with entrance for the hot springs included in the cost of your ticket.As per our description on the way back from the hot springs if there is an active Aurora we would stop and customers take pictures on this particular night the Aurora wasn’t active which is unfortunate (late April is not high activity Aurora season).The tour that you booked is not a Aurora chaser tour.For the tour on the next day you have been fully refunded. Thank you for your feedback!
Everything was perfect! We saw the auroras took some pictures, our guide was so helpful with everything! Thank you!
Thank you very much for your review.
Great guide, was constantly on the look out for a sign of the aurora. Found better sites to allow us great views of the northern lights.
Thank you for choosing VIP Northern Lights Tours
Great tour!! Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. And inspite of cloudy conditions we managed to see the Northern lights!!
Thank you very much for the great review
We had a great time!!! Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. We literally hunted the aurora out of the cloudy sky!! Got lucky!! Would definitely recommend this trip!! :)
Thank you for choosing VIP Northern Lights Tours
Antonio seemed very helpful when we were inquiring about his tours so we went ahead with a booking. But 10 days after we booked him, our tour got cancelled without any explanation. He would not reply to our questions. Then we noticed his pricing became substantially higher. We had to rearrange our whole trip due to this non-responsive cancellation. A trip that we were looking forward to now became something we’re very anxious about.
Hello your tour have been canceled due to some technical difficulties we are experiencing for your travel dates.Full refund have been issued.16 day notice is not a short notice.There are many other Aurora tours you can book in Fairbanks. We apologize for the inconvenience Safe Travels!
really great! The auroras were out early so he offered to pick us up early to go see them. We were at the airport having just landed and he actually picked us up from there and then took us to the Airbnb at the end. We were so lucky to see the lights and he offered to take pics and kept the van nice and warm for us to go in and out. Would recommend:)
It was great having you. Thanks for the review!
Fantastic experience with Mr. Antonio. I've learned so much about the Aurora Lights phenomenon. He definitely is a very knowledgeable young gentleman. Besides all that, he brought us a hot tea and nice cookies. His vehicle is well maintained, very clean and warm inside :). He is a very safe driver as well.
Thank you for the great review.The best thing about what i do is that I get to meet some amazing people like you guys.See you soon Friends!
