Activity itinerary

Greatland Adventures (Pass by)
The aurora borealis is one of the most amazing natural wonders this world has to offer.  Join us on a quest to view and photograph the northern lights in and around the Anchorage area.  We will use our luxury tour vehicle as a base camp as well as a state of the art portable winter shelter complete with heater, chairs, hot drinks and snacks.  We use modern technology to forecast both the space and earth weather each night.  The tour only operates on nights that have a reasonable expectation for the lights to be visible.  While we cannot guarantee you will see the aurora, if we do operate the tour we have over a 90% success rate of seeing the northern lights. You only pay if we operate the tour.  This tour is designed for anyone who has viewing the northern lights on their bucket list including both sightseers and serious photographers.  Aurora photography instruction as well as Aurora portraits are provided.  Tours generally depart at 9 pm and return at 3 am.

Aaron, thank you so much for this impeccable experience! The northern lights were even more breathtaking than we imagined, and you made sure we were able to see them in their full glory. The whole tour—from your explanations of aurora science and forecasting, to your photography, to the snacks and hand warmers and luxury vehicle—made for such a wonderful experience. We couldn’t be more grateful!

It takes an expert guide to chase the northern lights. Thanks to Chris Moss, our tour guide, who worked very hard and drove us to many places so we could see the various shapes and colors of northern lights. The SUV was large, comfortable and warm. Chris took lots of pictures of us and of the northern lights. Great experience. I strongly recommend it.

Our guide, Aaron, was a fantastic guy. He seemed genuine and very knowledgeable about the Aurora Lights. He did a great job talking to us, explaining the process of how the lights occur and the best ways to see them. With that being said; we unfortunately didn’t get to see the lights. Aaron was driving us to different locations and trying to chase openings in the clouds but because of how cloudy it was; we were just unable to really see anything. Apparently the lights were in full brightness but cloud coverage was too strong. It was disheartening to see Aaron swipe through the gallery on his professional camera and see how beautiful the Aurora lights are; only to look up and be met with dark clouds and the slightest green tint from the auroras attempting to peek out. Aaron drove all night to different locations and on one particular instance before 4am that I found kinda cute was everyone in the bus was sleeping soundly. It’s unfortunate that my bucket list item of seeing the Auroras will still remain. I’m sure the tour is generally amazing but that particular night wasn’t so.

Even though it was not meant to be for us to see the lights - our guide Chris - made it all worth while with great pictures and a picnic stop with chairs, hot soup and hot drinks. What a lovely experience!

The guide was extremely knowledgeable and kind. He took us a long way - extra ways- to try make us see the lights. Sky was on and off covered and the moon was full … so we could see some lights on the pictures taken of us … but none with the naked eye. It is clearly not up to them but to Mother Nature… regardless the places and the landscape was breathtaking to say the least. Nice group and had fun anyway!

Dana and trainee Tim were professional. Stephen was helpful ensuring I got the right fit for the gear rental (recommended for those who don't normally deal with snow/cold weather). We ultimately did not see the lights, but I still captured some great night sky shots. The tour guides were informative, accommodating, and tried their hardest to find the best locations. My lesson learned is not to book a day trip in Anchorage because mother nature can be unpredictable. I look forward to booking this trip again with more time!
