White out! Don’t worry! Beautiful display! - Great Experience! Started with dinner at Old Harbor. It was snowing like crazy when we left the dock. The woman leading the trip, told us not to be concerned. The weather changes by the minute. Well it did. It cleared around 10pm and we got a beautiful show.

Great Trip - We were able to 'see' the Northern Lights after we had taken a picture of them. The crew was very helpful letting us know what camera settings to use as well as when the lights would be visible.

Just Magical - After the weather calling off this on our first day and the forecast being pretty iffy for the rest our stay, we weren't optimistic that we'd actually get to see the Northern Lights. However, the trip went ahead one evening and the guide said he thought we might be lucky. After an hour on the boat we started the think the vague hint of green might be as good as it was getting and the boat began to turn for home. Suddenly the boat stopped turning and we were told to go to the front and we had a great showing! Really appreciated the crew holding on for us to see the lights in their glory. Wrap up warm as it gets chilly (although it is warm inside the boat and there is a bar serving hot and cold drinks!). Another bucket list activity ticked off!

Boat - Boat was great! Bar full. We had lots of snow and sleet - no northern lights. Did see a couple whales, which was cool. Kiddos still had fun. Was a little adventure. Hope to see northern lights another time.

It's was okay. A lovely... - It's was okay. A lovely boat and friendly staff however near the city where there was a lot of light. We have had other northern lights tours which were much better because the guides chase the clear sky.

Would go again - Didn’t see Northern Lights. Loved the boat, the crew, the ride was beautiful. Served drinks, coffee & and few munchies. No lights, but there is no control about that. 👍
