Joseph was great! It started out cloudy when we headed out, I was already settled on not seeing anything. He was very positive that things would clear up! He chased them all the way to the North Pole where we finally seen the most spectacular lights!!! And the moon was incredible!! What a night!!! An amazing experience! You can see some light colors but Joseph had a camera that was able to catch the real vivid green and other colors!

It was an excursion that should have been cancelled. Unlike few years ago, technology today can give you prediction of the northern lights and for yesterday in Fairbanks, AK, USA, probability was zero%. And guess what, we did not see anything. Tour guides were super nice, SUV was comfortable and they tried hard to be please us but I am sure your operator knew what I knew. But it was not cancelled , we rode around fir 4 hours in the middle of the night and wasted our money d as bd time.

Hello, Linked is one of your photos with the Northern Lights on our Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/alaska102/): https://www.instagram.com/p/CTMsrBIHUkX/?utm_medium=copy_link It was not Zero%. It was mostly cloudy. But, we saw many stars in the sky at the 2nd spots. We were chasing the lights and stopped by 5 different spots. We saw the lights and we took photos as we sent a url linked (DropBox). As we posted on TripAdvisor as followings: We would not cancel due to lack of lights or cloudy skies. The weather always changes and other conditions may change. Because of the natural things involved we have a NO Refund policy. Based on the policy you reserved and understood the Mother Nature that we could not control at all Blessings, Leah https://www.instagram.com/alaska102/ https://www.instagram.com/alaska103/

We traveled to Fairbanks to fulfill the bucket list dream of my husband. Fortunately we saw the Northern Lights four of the nights we were there. I had booked this tour on the last night, kind of as an insurance policy. I also thought it would add an element of fun and it would be awesome to have some photos to boot. All these hopes were fulfilled: Northern lights, photos and terrific fun. David was our driver and photographer and I recommend him highly. He was polite, friendly and anxious to make certain everyone's wishes were fulfilled. It was fun to chase the lights. Not good enough at our first stop, so onward to another location, and another. On our return journey, they were so gorgeous in one spot that we stopped again and took even more photographs. Wonderfully amazing and fun. David is terrific. Dress warmly.
