David was AWESOME! We had such a great experience the first time that we booked another night to chase the lights! He gave great photo tips, great direction, and he went above and beyond by even messaging us to come a night earlier than we booked because we had a better chance to see them, we were so appreciative because the weather wasn't the best to see them that week. For first timers, it's definitely worth it to have a guide because we struggled finding them on our own; for people who have had the luxury to travel around the world and see these amazing lights multiple times, they might review this experience harshly, but for the average person who understands mother nature functions on her own terms, we were barely optimistic to see the lights at all under the conditions, and David gave us an unforgettable experience twice! 10/10, would recommend!

Hi, Thank you for the GREAT Review on Viator. Congratulations on your engagement. It was totally a surprise that we did not know your fiancé's proposal. God may bless your engagement and future together. It was blessing that God opened the sky and showed the Beautiful Lights. Thank you again for booking twice. Have a blessed day!

I've been on a few aurora tours around the world, and this was by far the worst. For almost $200 per person, you should get more than this. David, the guide, knows nothing about the aurora. He can't even read an aurora app properly. He explained nothing beyond telling us over and over that the sky was clear, which obviously we can see for ourselves. He didn't want people getting out of his car. He didn't provide anything extra, no drinks, no fire. And on top of it, his photography is terrible. The pictures are poorly framed, low quality, and blurry. This is literally just some guy with a broken SUV charging you hundreds of dollars to drive around while he hopes desperately the Aurora will come out because he's got NOTHING else to offer. Do yourself a favour and book a real tour, with a guide, so you don't get stuck on this disaster.

Hi, We are truly sorry that you did not understand how the lights went. Please click the following link: https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ9pakaFjpS/ There were beautiful Northern Lights dancing as linked. He explained how the lights went based on the weather and Apps that we got. It was a 3 hours tour. But he did more than 3 hours and 30 min. He tried to stop by 5 different spots to see the lights. As we posted, we provide NO Drinks because we are chasing the lights. NO Issue on our SUV. Other clients gave THANKS for beautiful photos. Leah Alaska Journey Tours

David our driver and photographer was so much fun while having us take the photos with the Aurora Lights behind us. It truly is amazing to see in Fairbanks. Thank you for a great evening. I’d chase the lights again with them!
