No Northern lights but good experience nonetheless - *I did NOT see the Aurora Lights
(This is out of their control so I will not factor it into my review. )
Joy was honestly a joy to spend our time with. She was communicative and informative the entire tour and interacted with all the guests. Her partner was on top of snacks/drinks and monitoring progress of the lights. The cabin itself is very spacious, comfortable, and they provide good snacks and drinks.
Depending on the forecast, expect to be there till 2am, if lights are not showing.
It was very disappointing to leave AK without seeing the Northern lights, especially because I went there for my birthday, but the experience was good nonetheless.
My picture is a reference of what it looks like when the lights are not visible to the naked eye but show in a *professional* camera (not iphone).
For reference, I was there the night of Oct 11 but the night before they had a good turn out.

Patient and generous guides - It had been a cloudy week, but our guides kept driving until they found clear skies, them they patiently waited for the lights to appear. They were very faint lights, but you could clearly see them. With the photography equipment, they camera was able to capture more of the he color. Our guides were encouraging of us being in as many photos as we wanted. They provided us snacks and drinks, as well as a delicious treat as they dropped us off at the hotel. Bonus, we stopped at the Dalton Highway sign for a photo, (from Ice Truckers). I was very thankful for experienced drivers on those treacherous roads.

Great experience to see the Aurora - They were very nice in allowing us to change our tour date to a better night. We didn’t know what to expect. We drove about 2 hours and waited for the lights and when the lights showed up we were ready to capture the moment. They had some snacks and waters and give you a chance to use the bathroom before you are stranded. You could either stay on the warm bus or stand outside and both options were always available. Watch out for moose. We would recommend them and would definitely do this again.
Thank you

very sweet and accommodating - I can't recommend Arctic Nighty Tours enough! We only had one day in Alaska and a flight at 7 AM, meaning we had to be at the airport around 5-6 AM. It felt like a huge risk to book the northern lights tour with such a tight schedule, but Arctic Nighty Tours went above and beyond to accommodate us. They truly made me feel like they were doing everything in their power to give us the best experience possible, not just saying it.
The guides were incredibly kind and encouraging, and even though we had started to lose hope, we were lucky enough to see the northern lights around 2 AM! They took beautiful pictures of us and made sure we captured more memories, knowing we didn’t have the luxury of staying longer like other visitors. I was so happy my family and I got to see the lights, thanks to their patience and effort. Highly recommend this tour—such sweet and thoughtful people!

Great Aurora journey - The tour guides are very thoughtful. They considered everyone's needs on the journey. Though, the weather wasn't perfect, I still saw the vivid Aurora. We chased the Aurora around Denali all night. It's a awesome experiences.

Amazing Aurora Lights & Service - Elena and Ed were amazingggg !!
They picked us up at 830pm and drove so far from Fairbanks as it was a super cloudy and foggy night almost seemed impossible for sighting .. but in couple hours we stopped at a non light polluted location and within minutes were blessed with Aurora sighting ..and woah what a beautiful show of colors and lights dancing. They were so happy to take unlimited photos of ours and the group and ready to stay all night if we wanted to. We were so satisfied with 3 hours of in n out amazing show and photos we were the ones who said we are good to go. They had brand new and clean vans and lots of snacks for the group. Highly recommend.

Aurora borealis trip in Fairbanks - Our excursion was fabulous! Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and accommodating. We had a wonderful time. Thanks also to mother nature for the show. I will say, though, as a senior citizen, it was sometimes difficult to get in and out of the van, but that’s not a reflection on them. Great job! I would highly recommend them.

Northern Lights Long Night - They went above & beyond chasing The Northern Lights. Pix were great. However, the entire adventure took 11.5 hours. Be sure to dress warmly & be ready to take naps in the van
