Amazing Aurora Picture Set Up - We loved our Aurora lights experience. Our guided tour took us to a beautiful campground with lit up teepees and a rugged hunters Lodge. It was cold and very cloudy, but we did see the amazing dancing Northern Lights. They lit up the sky with emerald and lime green ribbons that danced over our heads. Our guide was friendly and patient with us as we were video taping and capturing the lights with our cameras. Highly recommend the tour and you’ll take phenomenal pictures

Best Northern Light Tour - I joined 3 different aurora tours from 3 different companies. Each tour is rated 4.5+. This tour is the best out of the 3. They picked us up on time and drove us to a warm cabin to wait for the aurora lights. Within the cabin, there're warm fireplace, hot tea and snacks. They also have furs so we can take some pictures/kill time. The cabin is pretty spacious and it's not crowded at all. It's shared with 2 tour groups. There are tents and camp fire outside for marshmallow. The tour guide checked the aurora lights outside while we were waiting inside the cabin, and let us know once the lights were visible. It's a long wait as the light didn't come out till midnight. Once the lights looked better, they took us to a lake to have a better view of the lights. They took videos and pictures of the northern lights and shared with us the next day. The tour guide is very nice to us. This is the most comfortable way to see northern lights. Other aurora hunting tours used a shuttle bus to drive around different locations to see the lights. It's -28C at night in March and the buses barely had heating inside. So staying outside for 4-5 hours is very cold and difficult. This tour offers the best experience (comfortable, warm and nice view) and I highly recommend them.

The tour was basically... - The tour was basically centered at the lodge. There was no aurora hunting as the sky was very clear. Having done other aurora hunting tours, this one was the best for me. Whenever there was no aurora in the sky, we could get inside the lodge or even the teepees to get warm. Many times I just left my camera outside taking pictures and went inside to get cozy. The scenery around the lodge is also very nice, with lots of possibilites for nice pictures.

Angie was Great! - Angie was very nice, and she did her best to navigate around and try to find some clear skies to get a good view of the aurora. She did eventually get us a view, and she helped us take pictures of it as well. Would recommend to anyone.

Highly recommend - Well organized tour and everything as expected. Pretty happy with Viator also as they didn’t charge my card until a couple days before the tour and I have no problem cancelling one of the slots. One big advantage of this tour is the flexible cancellation comparing to other tours. Plus you got unlimited free photo free which Aurora village is not the case. I would give 5 stars if not for the fact that $10 tip per night per person is expected. I didn’t pay attention to that although did see that in what is and is not included parts. I didn’t bring enough cash paying $10 Candian dollars plus $10 USD for 4 of us as that is all I had with me. The tour guide is ok with that and didn’t force me to do anything else. But I still think that is too much - $5 each per night seems to be more reasonable. The other tour I took didn’t require too at all and I am willing to tip $10 and felt much better when I was not forced to. But overall pretty good experience and I would have no problem recommending this tour

Commercialised - Your is very commercialised and mandarin oriented. There’s a rather big group so you need to wait your turn to take pictures. Photographer is not very good either so by the time you get a good picture, the aurora is gone. They also left early even though Aurora is going strong. They seem more interested as a business rather than passionate for auroras. I went to another smaller tour and the guide was definitely way better and more passionate in Aurora hunting. Would not recommend unless you’re not very interested in auroras.

Very commercial and portrait focused - be careful of the tour you choose. This was a large group primarily focused on taking pictures of the participants in front of the sky no matter what it was doing. Usually there was more than one bus at the stop we were at and there was no discussion of the setting, the northern lights or anything related to the area. The time at the lodge was useless and the snacks were very poor. This tour was not about the northern lights but about pictures. We should have chosen a small or individual guide and even a taxi would have provided more for the price.
