I wouldn’t go with them again! There were no auroras the night I went, the sky was dark, we traveled for about 3 hours. In the van we were told that many times you can’t see the auroras from eye eight only through a camera, I laughed to myself, because I have see them with my eyes and have taken photos with my IPhone, which I downloaded the app “northern lights”. We were all told we had to rent their cameras as ours wouldn’t work, well I could see why they said that, I swear in their cameras they were all set with backgrounds of the auroras, because the skies were dark and there were one clouds. What a rip off never go with them again. This year my friends and I are going with the company we went with 2 years ago, up front and honest and will tell you if it a good night or not. Very disappointed in “AURORA Chases”.

Hi Kathy, We are very sorry to receive this review almost a year later. We always try to go above and beyond to ensure a quality experience for each of our guests. However, we are quite confused by this review. I looked back through the images, email correspondence, and booking notes from that night to try and better understand your frustrations. Upon doing so, we noted that not only did you see an amazing Aurora display with us that night (honestly one of the best of the season), but we contacted the entire group to go early as we knew the Aurora would be great but the skies would be a challenge and a distant drive would put us in a great spot to see them. The group agreed and we drove almost 400 miles round trip that night to Tok, Alaska and back to get everyone that lovely view. It's true, there were still some clouds in view but there was plenty of open sky for us all to capture stunning images. We have portraits of you in front of a brilliant Aurora that night. Aside from that, we had a rare night in which we had to cancel your originally scheduled tour the evening prior, because of weather and offered you the option of a full refund or a spot on the next evening's tour. You chose the later and as mentioned, we have both amazing photos from that night and amazing portraits we captured of you in front of the Aurora that night. In regards to renting cameras, no one is required to rent a camera or even be a photographer. However, photographing the Northern Lights does take some technical know how (which we teach as part of the tour) and some specialized camera equipment is required for quality images. Tracking down the clear skies and photographing the Aurora is our specialty. So for anyone wanting to capture their own images, we do advise having the proper equipment to do so. We noted you chose to rent a camera at the time you booked the tour. In any records we could find, we did not suggest you needed to do so but would have advised it if your goal was to photograph the Aurora and you did not have the proper equipment. Our rentals are not a revenue stream for us, but rather a value added extra service we offer to enhance our client's experience. On the topic of seeing the Aurora, we would never say that you can't see the Aurora with your own eyes. We all saw it that night. We are, however, honest and upfront with folks about the reality and discrepancy between the limited colors our naked eyes can see and the brilliant colors the camera is able to capture. Because we feel it's important to be honest and transparent about this topic we cover it in great detail in the FAQs on our website. But the night you were with us, visible purples were plentiful and dancing auroras were abundant. A rare experience few get to have. We are honestly scratching our heads here. Is it possible you have us confused for another tour from that trip? If not, we are sorry that despite rescheduling you, going literally hundreds of extra miles and sharing one of the season's best displays you were not happy with our service or tour. If this truly is an accurate review, I'm not sure we could have reasonably done anything more to make this a better experience for you.

Thank you Ron and Marketa for helping Make A Wish to fulfill my son’s wish to see the Aurora Borealis! You two are amazing! Before the night of... Ron sent me an email 3 months prior to our reservation and thank goodness he did. When you think about going to see the northern lights, you don’t think about what to wear, what to expect, the temperature, what you’ll need to take great photos, and the time at which you’ll be able to see the lights. The website covers all of that and more. I cracked up when I read that we should expect -40 degrees and to be out between 9PM and 3AM! And you can’t just show up; you better have the appropriate clothing or you’ll freeze. Ron sets it all out thoroughly. He also lets you know where you can rent gear if you don’t want to buy it. You can also rent photography equipment from them. Since this tour focuses on photographing the Aurora, you’ll want a decent camera and lense- your cell phone isn’t going to cut it. Mine froze as soon as I took it out of my pocket. My kids got 1 shot off; they had to use the edit function to end up with a blurry shot. If you have a decent camera but you’re lense doesn’t have a low enough fstop, rent one. This is literally a once in a lifetime experience for most people. The nitty gritty of the night: I received an email the night before letting me know our pick up time. 9-3AM includes your pick up, en route information, photography “lesson”, and shooting / viewing. We were picked up on time at our hotel. We were first of 5 pick ups. En route Rob puts on a headset mic so everyone can hear him explain all things pertaining to the evening. The Mercedes van allows you to stand up. It also seats 12. It’s a little cozy with everyone dressed like a Michelin Man, but you’ll be warm. When we got to our first (and in our case, only) location, he used a big screen in the van to give us tips on shooting the Aurora and helping us set up our cameras. They passed out the rentals people ordered. Ron saw that my camera’s lense wasn’t optimal so he had Marketa give me a better lense for capturing the Aurora. It’s these little efforts that make this team incredible. Then it was time to get out of the warm van and into what I call the freeze. Marketa took over outside. She’s got boundless energy which is infectious. You can be cold, but she gets you moving. Tripod set up, positioning your camera, pointing out the Aurora, taking you to different views in the area. If you wear eyeglasses, be forewarned that your glasses will frost up- not just fog up, but actual frost / ice from your hot breath if you’re wearing a balaclava. If you don’t wear one you’re going to have a frozen nose, cheeks and mouth. It’s the one thing that plagued our ability to see for all of the outdoor activities while in Alaska. My sons did not shoot, but they were caught up in the excitement of watching the sky and helping me with my camera and tripod. My Make A Wish Kid was captivated by the science behind the Aurora explanation, the weather data, and the night sky. We all followed Marketa up a snowmobile trail, in the dark, sometimes stepping off the marked footsteps and ending up knee deep in snow. We were laughing and freezing and shooting and having a fun Valentines Day! At first I didn’t understand that we weren’t going to see colored lights. The initial white light band wasn’t great. But Marketa was taking our photos and showing us the beautiful colors in our photos! Then it all came together! I started seeing the light dance. White bands of light dancing into different forms. It became a performance culminating in an encore that was a sight to behold! None of us was expecting that light show. We went into this knowing that we may not see anything; we were told the prediction was for a minimal light show; what we got was extraordinary. There were a few people not taking photos and they were just as excited in what the Aurora gave us. We never had to “chase” the Aurora because Ron drove us to the tried and true viewing location and we never left due to the Aurora growing in intensity. They gave us coffee, tea or cocoa to warm us up when the lights took a break (so we took a break). It was bitterly cold but Marketa and Ron never let up and kept the excitement and energy up the entire time. Marketa took so many photos of us; taking photo requests throughout the night. So even though I was taking my own photos, my kids and I are in so many incredible photos that Marketa took of us. After our cameras were packed up and the last person got in the van, the sky suddenly burst into the finale! Marketa just yelled “Everyone get out!” And we did because she pulled out a camera and tripod to make sure she got photos of the spectacular light show and all of us in front of it. In a word : Amazing! Thank you Ron and Marketa for making my son’s wish come true!

Thank you folks! I'm so glad you were with us that night and we are grateful you allowed us this opportunity to give back and fulfill a wish. We hope to see you all again sometime in the future.

My son and I went on this tour in hopes of seeing the northern lights. Ronn and Marketa worked their hardest to find the lights for us, including driving HOURS out of Fairbanks in search of clear skies. The drove so far that we didn’t get back until 4:30 am and were the first hotel stop. They went above and beyond with the search. While we did see REALLY REALLY REALLY faint lights (could only really be seen by the camera lense), what we gained was knowledge on how to spot them, which is not as simple as you’d think if they are not super active. They helped set up my camera, teach me the techniques on how to shoot them, and what to watch for the radars and data. Thankfully we gained enough knowledge to find them two nights later, which would not have happened (remember they were faint) had we not done this tour.

Thank you Jennifer! This is honestly the best kind of review. We're thrilled to hear that despite a less than stellar Aurora night out with us, you were able to take the skills learned and knowledge learned from our tour and capture some great images when the magic finally came together for you. This makes us happy beyond words. Thanks for taking the time to share this.
