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!!

I don’t even think a review could cover what I wanna say. Cody was our guide and he was fabulous! I CANNOT recommend this tour enough. As a solo female traveler, was worried about safety and having awesome pictures. Cody ensured everyone in the group was comfortable, safe, and got the pics we wanted - he’s a photography hobbyist so it was perfect! If I ever wanted to aurora hunt again, I know exactly who I’d book with. Photos attached are from my iPhone and not the professional photos we’re getting

What a great adventure to "chase the Aurora"! Started out by Greatland calling us a few hrs ahead of time to discuss the weather and if we wanted to reschedule. Since we only had one day left, even though cloudy, decided to chance it. Glad we did! Night was cloudy, but first place got some neat sky pictures. Then on to their property which has yurts to warm up in. Our tour guide, Mike, was great. He kept checking their internet to monitor weather and see cloud cover. All of a sudden, they could see the lights popping up between the clouds! Got some nice photos that he sent to us after we got home. A really fun time. Highly recommend "chasing" versus just going to one place. Then you have the option to move around depending on the weather. Be ready to not get any sleep, but so worth the time and money! Definitely bucket list item!
