Not only were we graced by the lights, but Nathan captured us in stunning photos so we weren’t stressing over figuring out our cameras. Nathan was a fantastic tour guide and photographer! The hot pizzas and cookies on a cold night were a treat too. We took another aurora tour with a different provider the night before and were in a huge group crammed into a tight cabin with light coming out of it and people flashing their flashlights in our eyes while they tried to figure out their cameras to capture the lights. Instead, Electric Moose provided a very small group of only 10 people, so it felt like hanging out with a few friends, and Nathan had individual time with each of us to capture all sorts of gorgeous pics in his expertly-located remote secret spot where there was minimal light and beautiful scenery that made our pics stunning. Nathan was so enthusiastic it was contagious. Our group was sharing pics and marveling at the lights together all night and although the temps were low and winds high, Nathan’s heated tent provided the perfect toasty warming shelter. We woke up later in the day to the spectacular album of pics. This tour made for a once-in-a-lifetime night for us and we absolutely recommend it!

It was a great experience. Cold and windy night, and Nathan took care of us. Very knowledgable. Great pics. We had great aurora that night. He knew were to go for the great views. He was pretty excited about what we saw that night too. Highly recommend.

What a completely amazing experience. Tabitha is a wonderful person and the view of the Northern Lights was unbeatable. We had a tour scheduled for a Saturday night and on Friday, she gave us a call that the lights were expected to put on a better showing on Friday night. Because of her forethought, we were able to see what was likely the best viewing of the year.

If you want to photograph the real Alaska, hire a photoguide. Specifically, spend a day with Todd Whetstine of Capture Wild Alaska. Todd is an excellent teacher and guide. He takes you to fabulous vistas and explains how best to capture the shot you want. I've worked with Todd since 2019 and my photography has improved by leaps and bounds. I look forward to my next trip to Alaska.

Unfortunately, due to poor weather, our experience was cancelled. However, our contact, Tabitha, worked tirelessly with over several hours, watching the weather to see if there was any chance of a break in the cloud cover that would provide an opportunity to view the northern lights. When it came time to make the call, Tabitha said it just wasn’t going to happen, offered a couple of alternatives which were not timely for us, and said she would process a full refund based on a weather cancellation.So while our event did not occur, our deals with the Howling Bay Kennel, the provider, and Tabitha, our contact, was an absolute pleasure. We hope to return to Alaska in the future and will make it a point to use them if at all possible.

An amazing tour! Nathan was knowledgeable and funny while discussing the science behind the northern lights. Enjoyed the small tour group. We were all comfy, cozy and warm in his tent. We saw an amazing light show and have wonderful professional pictures to show off.

Nathan came get prepared, with us sitting in an ice fishing tent, pizza oven, hand and toe warmers, etc. he was very knowledgeable about the northern lights, conditions, how it happens, and more. He also took incredible pictures of us, both with light painting and with the Aurora borealis. We had a wonderful experience. I couldn't recommend this tour enough

This was a great experience for catching the northern lights! Tabitha has a ton of local knowledge and is very hospitable. We were the only people on the visit and felt like we had a front row seat to see the lights from her property. Loved the local knowledge and stories she shared. Was wonderful to be able to go in/out of her home since it was quite cold out that night!

Tabitha is an excellent guide and host. She picked us up and took us to her warm geodesic dome where we stayed between night light flares. Hot chocolate and tea were served as she told us stories of her wildlife experiences.

We didn’t get to see the lights, too early in the season:( but we still had a good time. Nathan was flexible with our pick up location and took us about 20-30 minutes outside of town. he sets up an ice fishing shelter with a nice heater inside!

Nathan works hard to give you a great small group experience. I don’t see how anyone could do better. I have to admit, at the beginning of the night, I was a little skeptical because Aurora was faint to the naked eye and I was more concerned with what I could see than photos, BUT after hot pizza in his warming tent, Aurora became more and more intense and put on some amazing, almost continuous displays!! AND we got our professional pics the next morning. He obviously loves his job and I highly recommend this tour!!

Nathan was informative and kept the energy level at a good pace so you never even noticed the time lapsing! I love the small group atmosphere and the people we were with were awesome (I think in no small part to Nathan’s personality). I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to do an Aurora tour. His warming tent helped so much and the pizza was good and filling. Loved it!

If you’re coming to Fairbanks during aurora season, do not miss this tour! Nathan is the real deal. A kind, genuine person, he brings a unique approach to viewing the northern lights. After picking up the group in his spacious van, he drives out to the viewing location and sets up a warm, cozy shelter complete with chairs, heaters, and a vented pizza oven. The group’s comfort is always foremost in his mind. After an engaging conversation with the group while snacking on pizza, we go outside for professional photo shoots under the aurora. Later on, we enjoy hot drinks and warm cookies. Then Nathan packs everything up and drives us back to our pickup spots. A delightful experience, which I wouldn’t hesitate to repeat.

"If you truly love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life." This phrase perfectly describes our experience with Nathan, who is not only a great guide and an excellent photographer, but also a wonderful person. I would return to this tour a thousand times. I think the combination of great people, pizza, cookies, excellent conversation, and breathtaking northern lights made this tour a dream come true.

Wow what a great experience . Nathan was excellent . He was the best guide I have had on a tour. He knew his stuff and the experience that he gives you was memorable for a lifetime . I will recommend this tour to everyoneThank you Nathan.

What an amazing tour.! Nathan was informative and funny while providing a top rated 5 star service. We had pizza, hot beverages and warm cookies. He runs a small tour group which makes it even better. We were all comfy, cozy and warm in his tent. It made the experience even better as who wants to spend their entire time just sitting in a van waiting for the aurora to start. We saw an amazing light show and have wonderful professional pictures to show off. Do yourself a favor and book with Nathan. You won’t regret it.
