Highlights
Fully guided Alaskan experience led by a local guide who is dedicated giving you the best possible chance seeing the Northern Lights. I actively track weather patterns, aurora forecasts, and cloud coverage throughout the night adjusting locations in real time to maximize visibility. The experience is never a guess, we go where skies are clear starting at a warm welcoming lodge with hot drinks, indoor seating, restrooms, so you’re never left standing in the cold waiting combine comfort with adventure by exploring additional viewing locations when conditions allow. I keep groups smaller more personal, allowing for a relaxed, authentic experience where you’re not just another seat on a bus. I also provide photo assistance, local insight, storytelling that connects you to Alaska beyond just the light I operate with honesty and integrity if the chances of seeing the aurora are low, I will tell you. My goal is not just to run tours, but to help create a once in a lifetime experience.

About Fairbanks
Fairbanks, in Alaska's interior, is a river town on the Chena, a gateway to the Arctic with long summer days, winter auroras and gold-rush history.
Fairbanks lies in the broad Tanana Valley of interior Alaska, on the Chena River, roughly 200 kilometres south of the Arctic Circle. It began as a trading post in 1901 and boomed after gold was found nearby in 1902; its mining past is shown at Pioneer Park, with its old buildings and sternwheeler. The University of Alaska Fairbanks is home to the Museum of the North, with Alaska Native art and natural history.
