Anchorage Northern Lights Viewing Tour

This guided Northern Lights experience begins with hotel pickup in Anchorage (timing provided in advance) and then carries you to remote, low-light locations chosen based on real-time aurora forecasts and weather conditions. Using expert knowledge and technology, your guide selects sites likely to offer clear skies and optimal viewing.

Throughout the 6–8-hour outing, you’ll stop at multiple vantage points, set up tripods, and receive on-the-ground guidance for night photography - whether you’re using a DSLR or a smartphone. Warm drinks and snacks are provided, and the vehicle acts as a mobile “base camp” to retreat to between viewing sessions.

Alongside the visual spectacle, your guide shares stories about the science behind the aurora, local legends, and photographic techniques. Even if the lights are faint or elusive, the tour often includes complimentary rebooking or “retry” options.
