Northern lights had been in my bucket list for a long time. So, my family and I (group of 11) planned a trip to Fairbanks, Alaska in the month of September (not too cold) and during new moon phase week (as dark as possible). We researched a few of the northern lights tours in Fairbanks and we loved the way The Aurora Chasers presented through their website. They provided plenty of information to ensure we had the best experience... and they were absolutely right! Ronn and Marketa picked us up in their top of the line 12 passenger van and off we went. They took us to a spot, next to a lake, that provided for awesome photos! They made sure all of us prepped and positioned our cameras where we could get the best shots of the aurora and the milky way. They made sure we kept warm too. Ronn and Marketa provided a very friendly atmosphere. They are very professional, yet so down to earth!! Their ability to manage our expectations and walk us through everything that was expected to happen that night was outstanding. They worked really hard on making ours a 'once in a lifetime' experience. They really exceeded our expectations! By the end of the tour, they felt like part of the family. I highly recommend this tour (100%); and I wish Ronn and Marketa a healthy and safe Aurora season!!!
