We booked our tour last minute (about 30 hours in advance of tour departure). We did not receive email confirmation from the tour guides until we called Viator Customer Service. The rep from Viator reached back out to Aurora in Alaska and then stayed on the phone until we received the confirmation email. The event team had told Viator that the email had been sent, but we did not receive it. This could have been a simple email error. Austin reached out to us about 10 minutes prior to our departure time to inform us that he was on the way. The van was packed full of people, even the passenger seat of the van, as we started our journey about an hour and 15 minutes North of Fairbanks. The van was nice as it was new, but with all of the people and our jackets, it became very warm quickly. It was also odd to be so jammed full with COVID ongoing, but nearly everyone wore a mask so that was not a problem. We arrived to a spot that Austin had recommended and we stayed here for about an hour while we waited for the sun to go down. The sun went down around midnight in early September and then the sky was filled with clouds. Soon enough, about 30 more minutes of waiting and the sky erupted with Aurora. This was a very cool and unique experience. Austin provided coffee, tea, and napkins for the first half of the tour. To break the night up while the Aurora was out, he made a little fire and offered Reindeer sausages to everyone who wanted one. This was nice as we were able to cook it ourselves, but again with COVID ongoing I did not eat much of it. Overall it was a nice experience, Austin was responsive, and we saw the Aurora. I would recommend this tour.

The local expert guide took us to all possible auroras sighting points, chased the cloudless spots and we had an incredible aurorad sighting when according to the forecast the probability was going to be very low. Fully recommended. Also the guide offered explanations and super interesting information about the places visited.

What a horrible experience. Very disappointed !! The local tour operator’s information was not given in the first place. tour operator never even responded confirming our tour. I pinged the operator with the link that Viator sent in the confirmation email but with no response. We waited at the lobby for more than an hour and no one turned up. So we we never went on any tour. I emailed back to Viator about the same issue and asked for a refund and I never got a response addressing the issue but received text message about this survey .
