Tour was amazing. We had been in and around Fairbanks for a week, attempting to see the Aurora, including trying Borealis Basecamp and all we saw were clouds or stars. We booked a tour with Mike at Greatland Adventures and he was able to find a clear location with a beautiful view of the Aurora. He also took some amazing pictures, and provided those for no extra charge! He even spotted a moose along the way to the Aurora viewing site. It was the trip of a lifetime, thanks to Mike! Here are a few pictures I took with my Samsung phone.

We booked the Fairbanks northern lights tour with them as it was recommended by the aurora guy (Vincent Ledvina). We couldn’t be more delighted!! Our guide Mike was amazing and we had a great aurora viewing experience at their cabin. They also captured high quality pictures of us which turned out to be amazing! I can’t recommend them enough.

We had an amazing night hunting the Northern Lights with Greatland Adventures in Fairbanks. Kevin, our guide, was the absolute BEST! He contacted us beforehand asking if we had any questions and then went out of his way to make sure each one was answered. What made the outing even more fun was his enthusiasm. His excitement to see the lights raised everyone else's. When we arrived at the cabin Kevin made sure everyone was comfortable. His attentiveness never faded, either. On top of making sure everyone had what they needed he took amazing pictures -- of the lights and groups - multiple times throughout the night. Going beyond what was usually offered, he even recorded and sent a GoPro time lapse video to us. Sensitive to the group's needs he didn't rush anyone and gave ample time to wrap things up. Thankfully, we had an amazing night and didn't need to drive far but if we had Kevin would've make the trip worth it. Even at 2:30am he stopped on the way back and gave us one more chance to capture the amazing lights. Booking with Greatland was easy, affordable, and worth it. They had great customer service before we even booked - returning my calls and sending details on tour options - and that service lasted even after we returned. Thank you Greatland and Kevin for such an AMAZING trip!
