Northern Lights Viewing at Murphy Dome

Posted By : meredithr415
Essentially, this activity is to be driven to and from the Murphy Dome and hoping to see the aurora. I couldn't call this a tour persay as there wasn't really any commentary or information from the driver however it all I really wanted was transport out and back so in that regard, it certainly delivered.

I was able to get picked up and dropped off at my airbnb which at the aurora times is more helpful than anything else since taxi's and ubers weren't easily available in the middle of the night.

Unfortunately the aurora didn't really want to come out while we were there but that's nature for you.

Worst experience. Could not see Aurora just because the guide left early at 1 am. But the tour was supposed to be till 3 am. For Aurora everyone generally waits but the guide was either sleepy or too cunning and made us realize that it is not worth waiting and better to leave. Later I learnt from one of friend who was also coincidentally visiting the same place same day (i did not know) that they saw aurora at 2:30 am. Very bad guide. Cheating on people. I wanted to give negative ratings.

First, my expectations may have been off…when I signed up for this, I expected the tour guide to take us to “known places” to see the lights. Yes, this did occur. However, I think my original expectation was that they would take us to an off the beaten path location. This tour consisted of being driven to a popular viewing site and there were people coming and going with lights turned on. The location was one clearly listed on the internet as a place to go. I could have driven us there for a heck of a lot less. So to me, this was not worth the money at all. Driver was nice, but no explanation of really what to look for, so do your research before you go.

The guide did show up on time but was asleep before 1230am and woke to call it a night. The guide for the most part just talked about himself.

Just seeing the Northern lights is already a good experience. Kathy, our tour guide, took care of us very well.

Had the best time on this tour, we had a clear night sky and the lights were a constant show for 3 hours. Kathy was an incredible host and taught us how to read the aurora data so we could tell when the activity was going to pick up. Highly recommend this tour but make sure to check the aurora forecast before booking

Seeing the Northern Lights was definitely the highlight of this trip. Definitely worth braving the cold for. Thank you!

We happened to see the lights with nice data and the view was amazing! We took a lot of beautiful pictures. There are also snacks and hot drinks in the car so we got to warm ourselves up. Nice trip!

Cloudy, snowing, 0% chance of viewing. Few people on dome, so other groups clearly "got the memo" but this company took our money anyway, when the good customer service would've been to cancel and refund. I even tried calling, sent an email and never got a reply. Wait let me take that back...I did get an email the next day with a link to their website - they never responded to my questions/concerns
