Great experience - This was a great tour. This was not a lot of frills just straight to Aurora chasing. We met our driver at 10:45pm. There was a lot of communication and I appreciate that. We stopped at 3 different spots. The second spot that we stopped at was amazing. Joe was a great photographer and made sure everyone got pictures with the lights. The only thing I did not like was getting back into the vehicle to warm up. The lights would come on and would be very distracting.

Chasing Northern Lights - We were satisfied with our your guide David. He was very patient in taking us to different spots to get a view of the Northern Lights. It took us 4 places before we finally got to witnessed the amazing Aurora Borealis.

He knows what he is doing and just blindly follow him and you would witness the aurora. He is passionate in what he is doing. He took out great pictures of us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nice to meet you, Aurora! - I took two tours with Chasing Lights: the Minibus chasing the Northern Lights (with Bailey and Amad) and the Artic fjord road trip (with Andrea and Nathalia). Both were excellent, as the guides and drivers were very committed to offering the best experience to each person in the group. Thankfully we were able to see the aurora all night long and got back to Tromso at 3:00am. I highly recommend both tours.

A SPECTACULAR TOUR! - We again moved up our tour date because the weather was clear and good aurora activity was expected. David took us to areas where we saw the lights dance in new and totally unexpected ways. It was completely different from the previous night. Spectacular! What sets his tours apart is his passion about aurora photography because he enjoys the Northern Lights as much as his clients. This is THE tour to book! Thank you, David!!!

Amazing Aurora Borealis! - Abigail is nice, making sure am okay when getting out of the van (6 people in a van) good gesture because am a senior with a some unsteadiness at times. This tour has their own photographer and took several photos of everyone with their own camera that will be downloaded in 3 days for everyone, actually I saw several photos already the next day of the tour. Luckily, we saw the auroras in 2 different viewing spots , we did not go very far from the city of Fairbanks to see it.

So glad I chose this tour! - Our guide David was great. He chased the lights til we found them - twice. He took lots of photos of each of us in the group, and several of just the lights with no people in them. He was professional, friendly and made sure we each had a good experience. If you want a northern lights guide, go with David!

Don't miss this one! - Really enjoyed this tour! Highly recommend "chasing" rather than just sitting in a lodge. If the weather is not the best, you have an option to change to another day. We had great weather to start the tour and got some amazing dark sky photos with all the stars. Then the aurora popped out and got great photos of that as well. Had some clouds so moved on to other spots. They have so much technology to check on weather and clouds in different destinations. Had a great tour guy who also helped us a lot figuring out our cameras. Be ready for a long night, few bathrooms stops and dress for the weather. So worth the time and money
