Northern Lights Tour · Anchorage
A northern lights tour from Anchorage handles the hard parts — the forecast, the cloud-dodging drive, the cold — while you handle the watching. Most include photography help and hot drinks.
Aurora season runs roughly late August to mid-April — peak viewing is 10 pm to 3 am, and tours run regardless of forecast (guides chase the clear sky).
Guest Reviews
"What a well organized and magical event. Dana, our tour guide is so passionate and knowledgeable about Lady Aurora! She is like having a scientist as a guide. We were picked up on time. The van is very comfortable. We were lucky that our night had the ideal conditions to see the Aurora Lights. We watched Lady Aurora dance across the night sky for about four hours!"
