Great guides make for a great experience! - Rods made our trip to North Pole area so memorable! We started with a dog sledding trip with Luther, we learned so much about dog mushing in Alaska got to play with his dogs and saw how loved all of his dogs are. It was definitely one of the things we will remember for years to come! Next up was snowmobiling with Victoria. She was so fun, she also did a great job reading everyone in the group to make sure the inexperienced people (myself) were comfortable and the experienced thrill seekers (my husband) were safe yet still having fun. Then we finished our experience with Rods doing an overnight ice fishing and aurora viewing experience with Trevor. This was absolutely incredible! Trevor did a great job taking care of us, making sure we knew what to do to catch fish, including the group that came with some younger kids he was patient and great with them, while he was keeping an eye on his aurora app to send us out when the lights were going off, and keeping us fed, warm with coco and tea, and keeping the fire stoked all night. Despite the late hour, the night flew by, the aurora was out dancing a lot of the night, everyone who was trying to catch fish caught fish and it was a night for the memory books for sure. All in all Rods Alaskan Guide Service made for such an incredible trip, so glad we booked with them. All of their staff back at the office were so friendly and helpful, especially the people who helped us get prepared with warm gear, I really appreciated them looking at my gear then telling me keep this, wear this of ours, I was so comfortable for all of our experiences. The bathrooms were also so clean, and the suiting up area was clean and well organized as well.

Reel in the Memories - We had the best time! We’re from Minnesota and frequently ice fish but we wanted to try a different kind of catch and have nothing but good memories from this experience

Seeing Aurora and fishing - Great night seeing Aurora and fishing with Trevor. His stories were amazing and he cooked the caught fish to perfection!!

Great trip - This experience was great. The food was good and the guide was also good. We got to see the northern lights which was awesome.

Mikey is a great guide! Highly recommend. - This experience was our best Aurora viewing experience over a week staying in Fairbanks! Mikey was an awesome guide and took an excellent picture for us with the Aurora in the background. My husband and I each caught 3 fish but others in the group caught up to 10. Mikey’s a great cook and the reindeer sausage + hot chocolate was a plus! The cabin is nice and toasty to give you plenty of opportunity to stay warm in btw light viewing. 5 hours seems like a long time but it was a perfect amount of time! Highly enjoyable experience at a very fair price in my opinion!!

Ice fishing under the northern lights - Ice fishing under the northern lights was an amazing time. Mike was an awesome guide and made sure everyone had fun and the best possible experience. Definitely recommend! 10/10 rating. Hope to do it again someday.

A night to remember - Did the ice fishing aurora viewing adventure with Mike. Unfortunately the night didn't produce any lights.. but Mike was very upfront about that when we arrived and checked continuously for us for the off chance they did show. Regardless, it was an amazing time. For a 5 hour excursion.. it felt like a moment. We even stayed past 3am due to the groups connection. Fishing.. sharing stories.. eating excellent fish.. it was one of the best experiences my wife and I could have asked for. Thank you to the father and son that sat across from us and of course you Mike for making our time so enjoyable. We hope Zero had a great time too haha. It was a perfect ending to our Alaskan trip. May all your travels be safe.

Great experience ice fishing with Mike! - Me and my husband were having a blast time last night that we almost forgot about the time. @Mike is awesome for teaching me skill that I was able to catch 4 king salmons. I have to say he did a great job for cooking those fish as well. Even the aurora is a little weak but we really have a fun time with our little 5 people group in the cabin. Nice and cozy. I was told i am lucky to catch a rainbow trout!! So much fun! Thank you for the night!

A must in Fairbanks - We had the most incredible night ice fishing and we were fortunate enough to see the Aurora in all her glory! Mike our host was AMAZING!

Awesome fishing and northern lights display - We had an amazing experience with Mike (and Zero, his dog) as our guides. Mike was wonderful throughout the night. He showed us how to use the rod and reel, kept an eye out for the northern lights, cooked reindeer sausages and some of the fish we caught, and was a great photographer both for the fish we caught and the northern lights. Everyone in our group caught at least one fish. The weather was cooperative and we got lucky to see an amazing display of the northern lights.
