Michael and Faced The Outdoors helped deliver one of the most magical nights of my life. I want to be clear I booked a private tour so the review and information I have are for that experience. With that said if anyone is looking for someone who can help capture a personal night with the best chances of seeing the lights then booking the private tour with Michael is a MUST do! I proposed on the night of my tour and this experience was above and beyond what I hoped to have and capture the night for my fiance and I. The lights are never guaranteed and anyone promoting that they are is simply trying to make a buck off you. the FTO website is extremely honest and well filled with information regarding the lights and what to expect throughout your experiences with them and I HIGHLY recommend taking the time to read the site and FAQs. But if your looking for someone who is extremely knowledgeable and honest about getting you the best opportunity to see them and take breath taking photos of you then Michael is your man! His home is beautiful and the view from the site if the sky and lights (when there of course) is like no other and the fact that the option to chase on nights where its necessary exist makes this experiences the absolute best available near Fairbanks!

Like so many people, seeing the Northern Lights has been on our bucket list! Luckily, we choose “Face the Outdoors,” with Michael He is a native of Alaska with lots of knowledge and years of experience photographing the Aurora. He picked us up around 8:00 pm from our hotel in Fairbanks and bought us out to a large open field by his house. We dressed for the cold, prepared to spend hours outside. Seeing the northern lights is always a crap shoot, and luck was in our favor! Michael is very knowledgeable about the Aurora and photography. He helped us know what to look for and how to capture a shot with our iPhone. (BRING A TRIPOD!). He also took a beautiful photo of us framed by the Northern Lights! We highly recommend booking with Michael at “Face the Outdoors.”

Michael is an amazing tour guide, his knowledge of the aurora is off the charts! We were lucky enough to go on 2 consecutive nights for private tours. The first night we went to Michaels beautiful house in Delta Junction, with an unobstructed, open field for viewing just out the door. Unfortunately for us Aurora didn’t cooperate that night. Nobody’s fault, just nature, it’s always a crap shoot. But Michael waited till the end of our time before calling it a night, hoping they’d come out. Our second night we went chasing. Literally driving hundreds of miles due to heavy cloud cover but great projections. Michael didn’t give up he kept going trying to find an opening in the clouds. Finally on the way back about 120 miles from the hotel & at 3:30 am he saw it, the opening! The winds were howling 60 to 70 mph so it was very hard to hold still for pictures or for him to keep his camera still but he got us some pictures & at least 45 minutes with Aurora shining brightly above us. Michael never gave up, he wants to give you the best possible trip he can. He shares his knowledge about Aurora in an easy way to understand making it interesting while learning about one of Gods little miracles on earth. Thank You Michael for an amazing 2 nights of Aurora hunting & finally finding them & getting pictures of us to share with family & friends in the most difficult conditions. You are great & we highly recommend you to anyone going to Fairbanks to see the Northern Lights!
