I visited Alaska with my kids during spring break~!! Thank you for creating precious memories of Aurora chasing and dog sledding in Fairbanks. In particular, I think it was an even more special time for my family staying in the U.S. as the owner personally picked us up until late at night and spoke about his life experiences not only in Alaska but also in the U.S. in general. If I have the chance next time, I would like to visit you again. thank you!!!

Very small tour in a comfortable truck. Pick up from hotel. Driver was driving us to a couple spots in Fair Bank. He was very good with taking pictures. He took a lot of pictures for us. We did have some very good aurora view.

The tour was worthy! Our tour guide David tried his best to show us wonderful nothern lights. Not only was he a fantastic photographer, but he was also incredibly dedicated and expert in his craft. We spent the night chasing the elusive Aurora, capturing countless stunning photos along the way.

가이드분도 친절하시고, 열정적으로 사진도 찍어주시고 오로라도 보러다니면서 좋은 시간이였습니다 ㅎ.ㅎ

We had a great aurora seeing tour! The weather forecast was cloudy but it was much better than expected. David chased the aurora light and took us to three places to see the light and we did see a lot of them in both green and purple colors! He also took many beautiful pictures for us. It was a great experience that we will never forget.

We went out with David on an admittedly cloudy night. To their credit, Alaska Journey Tours told us the forecast wasn’t looking great and gave us the option to reschedule if we wanted. However, it was my friend’s last night in Fairbanks so we went out anyway. It ended up being a great decision. Despite 90% cloud coverage, David managed to find pockets of clear skies. We went to multiple locations, and ended up being treated to an active burst of Aurora display that shone through the clouds and amid the falling snow. We clearly got lucky, but I also credit David’s diligence in chasing clear skies that allowed us this opportunity. Thanks, AJT, for a great night!

Experienced the magic of the dancing light with this tour. The communication from the operators was honest and prompt. David was very enthusiastic and ensured we got a good view of the lights and at the same time capture those moments for us!

David was very skilled at finding dark spots at the perfect time and did such a great job with the pictures! 10/10 would book this tour the next time we’re here!

Sharing pictures I took on my iPhone (not from the tour)

Certainly a 10+ experience!!! Seeing the Northern Lights was on my bucket list for years so on the occasion of our 35th anniversary, I dragged my husband who hated the snow to Fairbanks, AK. Our tour guide/photographer David made our trip worthwhile -- he was determined to chase the aurora! We went to many viewing areas -- got to view it during our earlier stop but he kept on the chase. The weather turned cloudier and snow started falling heavier and heavier, but blessed is the one who perseveres, and with much prayer (YES, Prayer Power!!!), we ended up with a spectacular aurora display -- certainly an amazing 35th anniversary gift from above! Thank you, David, for giving us the experience of a lifetime!

This tour is awesome! The guide took us to 3 spots for better chance. All are close so it's not too tiring. We caught it the first spot, and at the second place we saw active, moving aurora.
In addtional to be a good chaser, the guide is well prepared to take photo for everyone. Photos have clear front scene with our faces, and great aurora in the back. With a tripod, it's not blury at all. Way better than what I can take with limited gears.
We only planned for 2 night staying. Chasing after the aurora gives a better chance vs stay at the same place for hours. Also it can be dim for eyes or phone cam. I would recommend to have a dedicated cam for a remarkable photo for the record
