Awesome experience
It was so wonderful to stay in a warm and cozy cabin with tons of refreshment provided while waiting for Aurora to show up. David, our host, is really nice and amicable. He taught us how to use our cell phones to catch the beautiful moment of the Northern lights and illustrated how to check real-time Aurora status through the camera installed outside of the cabin.We were very lucky to view the northern lights on a clear night. David took some great photos for us with the stunning Aurora in the background and sent it to us pretty quickly. Aurora certificate and postcards were given as souvenir gifts in the end. Thank you for this unforgettable memory!

Best tour!
If you needed a sign to help you decide which aurora tour to pick, this is it!
These people don’t only know what they are doing, they are truly passionate about it. Our tour guide was incredibly supportive, she talked about the Auroras in a way everyone can understand, and not only did we learn about it, we fell in love with it.
She made sure the whole time we were comfortable and made us feel like family. Loved the snacks and the hand and toe warmers, these two made a difference!
We looked for auroras and were blessed with a beautiful show at the end of the night. They made sure we not only got to experience this, but to LIVE this experience. Totally recommended if you are planning to come to Fairbanks! 100/10!

We had a blast doing the 30 mins dog sledding with Joe and his Motley Crew team at Rod’s Adventures. They provided extra warm gear if needed. The time goes by quick, but well worth the experience. The dogs seem happy, Joe answered all of our random questions. They are an experienced team and we love that they hire out actual local teams. This was the highlight of our trip!

An Experience We Will Never Forget!
An experience that we will never forget!. Picked on time up right from our hotel in a spacious very clean SUV. Wonderful experience petting the dogs, getting to know their names, great knowledge given about dog sledding from the owners and great photos taken. We were blown away with how amazing the dogs were on trail and how much they love to run! You will not regret it one bit booking this experience with this great company. Thank you again for memories that will last a lifetime!

Beautiful day for a cave
Beautiful day at Castner Cave - what a spectacular place! Janey was an excellent driver and guide. The hike was easy and accessible, and the cave is so magical. Highly recommend when you’re in the area, we can’t wait to come back and see how it’s changed!

Great first time snowmachine experience.
Adult family did the 1-hour snowmachine trip. The lodge outfits you with extra gear so you will stay warm and comfortable. We had gear but they added a second coat, fleece balaclava, and different boots. Great trip and guide. I was concerned that my glasses would fog but it was easy to partially open my visor and keep visibility. Made the experience comfortable for 1st time snowmachine operators and we also turned up the speed. Loved going slower through the narrow path in the woods. Just beautiful. Thanks for a fun time.

This was one the best experience we had. Our guide Nick was able to capture beautiful pictures of the Aurora. This tour has a unique concept of mobile lodge where you can munch on cookies and hot cocoa along with cooking your own reindeer sausage over as camp fire. Would recommend 10/10.

Our tour guide, Blake,...
Our tour guide, Blake, was fantastic! He is incredibly knowledgeable about the Fairbanks area and knew exactly where to find the best aurora viewing spots. The van was comfortable, and we felt very safe with his driving throughout the night.
Chena Hot Springs was a highlight—the Ice Museum is a neat stop, and dinner at the restaurant was delicious. Soaking in the hot springs is an absolute must-do experience, and it’s a prime location for the lights. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Alaska!

Fantastic, once in a lifetime experience with a truly great operator
Absolute once in a life time experience. As mesmerizing the Aurora and Arctic circle were, I wanted to give a shout out to our guide and tour operators Sultan. He was very resourceful and courteous and professional to the core and shared a passion for the main elements of the tour. Let me highlight what I liked about him
1. Was able to quickly accommodate changes when a couple of family members arrived late due to missed flight connections
2 . Gave very good directions up front via text message on what to bring and what to expect
3. Was very patient, without hurrying. made extra stops to enjoy the Aurora and almost allowed 1-2 hours extra because the Aurora watching was too good
4. Was also an excellent photographer and provided memorable pictures and also dashcam videos of the scenic drive
5. Was professional to the core and passionate about Aurora, the Arctic circle and Alaska and help the guests truly get more than their money’s worth
6. Skillful and safe driver, you want on your side when driving on the icy Arctic circle roads

An ideal Aurora view experience!
They picked us up and it took us to the house, so we didn't have to worry about driving. There were snacks available and the viewing was beautiful inside and outside. The house was kept comfortably warm annd there was an indoor bathroom in the house also. The hosts kept people advised when the Aurora was visible and gave couragement and instruction on how to photograph with various phones and cameras.

Unbelievable beautiful glacier ice cave with incredible Snow Crystal Flowers
Tour guide Tony is very professional experienced guiding us walking and crawling on icy slippery road in the glacier ice cave. We were enjoying seeing and touching the beautiful blue ice wall and incredible beautiful Snow Crystal Flowers inside the seven thousand years old glacier ice cave.

Brrrr
This was an amazing trip. We learned about the Aleyska pipeline and got to see many, many miles of it as we traveled northward on the famous Dalton Highway - and yes, it's just like it's portrayed on tv. We met firefighters from several different countries since the trip afforded us a lunch stop at an outpost. I can go on and on, but we went during the summer (late July) and it was a whopping 34 degrees. Loved, loved, loved this excursion and even the rest of group that was also on the tour. Would go again!
