We did not see the Northern Lights on this outing due to overcast sky. Based on the experience of the operator and the tour guide, I suspect they/he had a good idea on not seeing the Northern Lights, so the trip ended-up being a cash-grab. At the pickup point, we should have been warned and given an option to skip and a refund.

We take you out and “hunt” for the Aurora! Instead of sitting in a cabin or a yurt, watching the overcast sky, we chase the Aurora and try to get away from light pollution and clouds. Aurora Hunting / Chasing increases tremendously the chance to see and experience the Northern Lights since we are driving to various locations.

Inclusions: Snacks, Coffee and/or Tea, Air-conditioned vehicle, Expert Tour Guide (English), Tripod Rentals included (DSLR, Mirrorless, Smartphone)

This is a fabulous tour company to work with. I booked this independently of the cruise line as we do not prefer the larger groups the cruise lines typically have. We booked Chilkoot Lake Nature and Wildlife viewing. After booking this, we inquired about having enough time to see the Summit and Bridge. The owner responded back quickly and offered to arrange that for us as well. I was happy not to have to find another tour operator. The day itself went seamlessly. We were greeted off the ship, by Paul, met the other 2 people on our tour and escorted to the fast ferry to Haynes. Jen ,our tour guide, met us off ferry and we headed out. We were not long into our travels when we saw a brown bear fishing in the river. We saw many eagles perched in trees but not in flight as they appeared to not prefer to fly in the rain!We were able to view the Rainbow glacier with some breaks In The cloud cover. Jen was interesting, and knowledgeable. Paul was there to meet us for the second part of our day, which was a private tour. Paul explained the history of the area as we drove through town. We chatted, asked questions and Paul was able to answer them all. When we arrived at the bridge , it was almost closing time but we were expected. The amazing thing about this was we were the ONLY people there at that time. Our pictures were amazing as there are no other people in the background.We hope to return to the area in the future and will definitely use this company again!
