I went to the Hot Springs looking for Auroras. Our tour guide, Paul, was really good. A cloud cover rolled over and we had to wait inside. He told us of some Alaskan history, and had us play games while we waited. Luckily it cleared and we all got great photos.

Wow. There are no words to correctly describe this tour for us besides life-changing. We started the night off getting picked up by Ash, who we had had as a guide the day prior. Immediately thrilled. Like the coolest guy ever. He greeted us by name, and it truly felt like we were good friends haha! On the drive over he is being sure to drive carefully and attentively, but also engage with everyone on the tour, asking questions, telling us stories and facts and talking about tonight. Well his stories are insanely incredible, of course, but he mentions tonight is supposed to be the craziest the lights have been in a decade. Holy sh*t he wasn’t wrong. Anywho, on the way up he’s answering all questions, we see some moose and things. He explains the process to us before we arrive and gives us tips and tricks. The hot springs were INCREDIBLE by themselves and the Aurora is popping in and out. About 12am, everyone is out of the spring and Ash comes back down to show us what is happening on the other side where it is darker. He clears it with everyone, and takes us in the van to a darker more secluded spot where he goes to see the lights better while the other tour guides take their groups to similar spots of their own favor. And oh. My. God. I cannot thank him enough. We saw the CRAZIEST dancing and flashing lights ever. 1st Alaska Tours has been incredible this whole trip and I can’t imagine what it would’ve been like had we booked through ANYONE else.

Van was old, driver talked about her medical issues and communication about food availability prior to arrival was inadequate at best.
