Jake was driver and guide! Prompt pickup with communication from company prior! Friendly and knowledgeable guide. Amazing experience! Seeing the Northern Lights is such a ‘bucket list’ thing everyone should do! This company was more affordable than some others and offered snacks and hot drinks while viewing from the Murphy Dome area. You could hop out, see and enjoy, then hop back inside a warm and cozy van. Beautiful scenery on the way up and back. Convenient hotel pick up and drop off! Made friends on the van and had a relaxing and positive experience! Aurora Borealis showed and it was magnificent. Guide assisted in helping me make my phone capture pics better! Wished I would have researched various apps or better camera phones prior! My amazing fellow patrons shared the best pics!

Our tour to see the Northern Lights was wonderful! It wasn't the strongest night to view the lights, but we managed to get a picture with our Google Pixel phone using the new Astro mode. The camera picks up more of the green color than we saw with our eyes. The wind made it extremely difficult to get the tripod to stand still long enough for the picture to complete. We jumped in and out of the van all night to watch the Aurora and to attempt taking photos. Thank you for a warm van, interesting facts, and hot cocoa!
