Anchorage Aurora Quest - Visite photo des aurores boréales

Aperçu
This is the longest-running northern lights photo tour in the Anchorage area. We pick you up at your Anchorage accommodations and take you on a nocturnal adventure to witness the beauty of the Alaskan night sky. It's a great option for any travelers to Alaska during August to late April. This tour accommodates serious photographers to sightseers.

We conduct a daily update that includes both the aurora borealis and weather forecast. The tour runs based on that forecast, but runs only if the forecast indicates a chance of seeing the aurora. Because both weather and the aurora borealis are natural phenomena, we cannot guarantee seeing the northern lights.

This tour increases your chance of aurora viewing success by allowing you to reserve as many nights as you like [space available] and only finalizing payment 48 hours in advance under the Reserve Now & Pay Later system. If you do not see the northern lights during your tour, you get a free make-up tour.

I had booked a 4 day tour and the first 2 days the tour was cancelled. My heart sank. On the third night, we were given the choice of "guest's discretion," I jumped at the opportunity. Our guide was Cory and he was very honest in telling us that there is minimal chance of viewing the aurora because the Kp was at 1.33 and couldn't get any lower. But he said, "you never know!" He drove us to Knik River and he tried not to let us get excited, but Cory saw a glimmer of hope after constantly checking his app. Well, wouldn't you know it... Miss Aurora greeted us with a little glow, but had good vibrant colors of red, green, pink. yellow. The sky was so clear that night, the Big Dipper was so bright. On the fourth night, I didn't think the tour was proceeding because it was so cloudy in Anchorage, yet Anna said it's a GO! Anna and Jody took us all the way to Talkeetna! This time the aurora was spectacular! The Aurora was dancing and swirling, all I could ask for. I just want to say that this tour company know what they are doing. They are trust worthy and will take you only if they think you will get to watch the aurora.

Thank you so much for the feedback. Aurora-chasing is definitely a marathon, and it is important to give yourself more than one night to chase the lights. Your review is exactly why we created the four-day pass for our Anchorage Aurora Quest. I am so happy you had such a good experience both nights, and that you got such a good display up in Talkeetna. I am so proud of the great service that all of our guides provide, and really appreciate you letting us know that they took such good care of you.

Such a great night out to see some northern lights. The aurora itself was a little faint, but Colin made sure that we were able to see it and capture it with our cameras. His coaching made all the difference in getting frustration-free photos. He shared a wealth of knowledge on the science of the aurora and found the perfect spot - dark and open with mountains in the background. A fun night I would happily repeat!

Had an amazing time on this tour! I enjoyed the communication before and after the tour. We were given the opportunity to cancel because of the lower possibility of viewing the aurora lights and I appreciated that. They gave plenty of explanation of why it may be harder to see and offered a refund or different day. They did need atleast 2 folks to go out to make the trip. I opted to go for the experience and I’m glad I did. Cory was our guide and he was phenomenal! It was me and three other people which I loved. It definitely got nippy at night and Cory left the van (which was very comfortable and nice) running in case we wanted to escape the cold. Cory provided us with plenty of information and awesome facts before and during the tour. We stopped on the way there to the bathroom and it’s about a 2 hour trip each way. We went to a couple different locations and at the last location, we were able to see the lights! It wasn’t super bright given the brightness of the moon however, much brighter when looking through your camera and taking photos. I actually used my iPhone 14 Pro Max and had great shots on night mode! Cory also took complimentary photos of us with his camera and made us hot chocolate and hot cider! Cory was incredibly kind, personable and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour company!
