Marketa and Ronn did an incredible job of giving me a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see the Aurora Borealis. I was scheduled to tour on a Monday, and because of bad weather moving in they were gracious enough to host our tour on a Sunday, a day when then normally don't operate, just to give us the best chance of seeing the Aurora. I quickly changed my flight and was able to join the group!
I have never used a camera to capture the Aurora before, and Ronn was very patient and helpful in explaining how to change the settings to get the best images possible. I rented a camera through their company and I'm so glad I did I learned a lot and captured some amazing photos despite my inexperience.
Marketa took out of this world beautiful portraits, provided great guidance on the ride to the site, and the best hot chocolate ever!
It was start to finish a great experience, with a pick up and drop off right from my Fairbanks hotel and lots of science-based informative Aurora learning on the ride to the viewing site.
This is definitely a must-do activity if you're in Fairbanks and want to see the Aurora. Photographer or not, by the end of the night Ronn and Marketa will help you become (at least an amateur!) one and get some great photos!
