Itinerary

  • Greatland Adventures (Pass By)

    The aurora borealis is one of the most amazing natural wonders this world has to offer.  Join us on a quest to view and photograph the northern lights in and around the Anchorage area.  We will use our luxury tour vehicle as a base camp as well as a state of the art portable winter shelter complete with heater, chairs, hot drinks and snacks.  We use modern technology to forecast both the space and earth weather each night.  The tour only operates on nights that have a reasonable expectation for the lights to be visible.  While we cannot guarantee you will see the aurora, if we do operate the tour we have over a 90% success rate of seeing the northern lights. You only pay if we operate the tour.  This tour is designed for anyone who has viewing the northern lights on their bucket list including both sightseers and serious photographers.  Aurora photography instruction as well as Aurora portraits are provided.  Tours generally depart at 9 pm and return at 3 am.

Great time

Published on Dec, 2024

It was beautiful and cold! Chris was a great team leader. Excellent pictures and explanation of the northern lights!

Great experience with Chris!

Published on Dec, 2024

Even though it was not meant to be for us to see the lights - our guide Chris - made it all worth while with great pictures and a picnic stop with chairs, hot soup and hot drinks. What a lovely experience!

Professionals and nice

Published on Dec, 2024

The guide was extremely knowledgeable and kind. He took us a long way - extra ways- to try make us see the lights. Sky was on and off covered and the moon was full … so we could see some lights on the pictures taken of us … but none with the naked eye. It is clearly not up to them but to Mother Nature… regardless the places and the landscape was breathtaking to say the least. Nice group and had fun anyway!

Fairbanks Northern Lights tour

Published on Nov, 2024

I went on a northern lights tour in Fairbanks in the beginning of November. We were picked up from a central location in Fairbanks and then driven out to the property where we could watch for the northern lights from their cabin and yurts. The northern lights were immediately visible, the night was clear and we were able to see them for hours. The tour guides were fantastic, very enthusiastic about seeing the lights and ensuring everyone got photos taken. There were hot drinks and snacks inside the cabin, all the guides did an excellent job ensuring that we all enjoyed seeing the lights. They even helped us out with our own camera so that we could also take great photos. We would definitely go again with this company.

No aurora but great experience

Published on Nov, 2024

Dana and trainee Tim were professional. Stephen was helpful ensuring I got the right fit for the gear rental (recommended for those who don't normally deal with snow/cold weather). We ultimately did not see the lights, but I still captured some great night sky shots. The tour guides were informative, accommodating, and tried their hardest to find the best locations. My lesson learned is not to book a day trip in Anchorage because mother nature can be unpredictable. I look forward to booking this trip again with more time!
