Overview

Fully guided Alaskan experience led by a local guide who is dedicated giving you the best possible chance seeing the Northern Lights. I actively track weather patterns, aurora forecasts, and cloud coverage throughout the night adjusting locations in real time to maximize visibility. The experience is never a guess, we go where skies are clear starting at a warm welcoming lodge with hot drinks, indoor seating, restrooms, so you’re never left standing in the cold waiting combine comfort with adventure by exploring additional viewing locations when conditions allow. I keep groups smaller more personal, allowing for a relaxed, authentic experience where you’re not just another seat on a bus. I also provide photo assistance, local insight, storytelling that connects you to Alaska beyond just the light I operate with honesty and integrity if the chances of seeing the aurora are low, I will tell you. My goal is not just to run tours, but to help create a once in a lifetime experience.
