What to Expect

As the nights get longer, astronomical twilight begins to return, which allows for summer aurora viewing.

Like all of our northern lights tours, our goal is to help you enjoy the magic and mystery of the aurora borealis. This summer tour is a great option for those who wish to photograph the aurora or simply enjoy viewing it as summer begins to wane. This tour only runs when the forecast indicates that there is a good chance of seeing the aurora borealis with the naked eye, applying the criteria we review (see below). We pick you up at your Anchorage hotel accommodations and take you on an adventure to witness the magical lights rippling over mountain peaks and dancing across dark waters. Your guide will help you understand the science of the northern lights and provide photographic coaching and aurora portraits for those who desire them. Cameras are available for rent, and tripods are complimentary. And if all you have is a smart phone, still join us! Most of our guests are just like you.
