I enjoyed the tour very much. Gina was our tour guide and she was very nice and knowledgeable. If you take this tour be sure to ask for her and you won’t be disappointed. We did not get to see the NL due to all the clouds☹️but nevertheless the experience was worth it.

We were so lucky to have Gina as our guide. She gave us information about the animals that lived around Murphy's Dome. She helped us set up our phones for night photography of the sky. Gina also showed us the best websites to monitor the auroboreolis and when and where to look in the sky. Unfortunately, the night sky was not on our side and we didn't see any colors, but we learned so much from our beautiful guide, Gina. We highly recommend your service to everyone!

The location may be isolated and lacking in emenities, but it was an excellent if not the best spot to watch for the Northern Lights that night. Gina was our guide and she was knowledgeable and professional.
