Aurora Glass House – Northern Lights and Photos at Cleary Summit

tikia_s, Sept 2026

Amazing tour!!

This tour was excellent. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and accommodating. They picked us up from our hotel. He drove well. The glass house had heat, chairs, snacks, electricity, water, hot chocolate, and a bathroom. The guides stayed out in the cold most of the night watching for the Aurora. They took pics of us. It was so cloudy for hours. We were worried we wouldn’t get to see the Aurora. Luckily, it cleared up before our tour ended and we ended up seeing the most amazing Aurora show. I would definitely book with them again.

Sultran was an excellent...

Sultran was an excellent driver. He definitely knows his job and is very good at answering questions and telling details of the roads he travels. The weather wasn't great for our road trip, so he had many things to pay attention to and did a great job at balancing all of it.Told us stories and shared videos and pictures with us after our excursion. I was pretty nervous about spending that amount of money, but I'm glad I invested it with Sultran. He earns his pay, for sure.

An Unforgettable Aurora Adventure with Tony & Andrew

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Sky Chase, thanks to Tony and Andrew. They worked unbelievably hard all night long, driving us for hours and making stop after stop, constantly searching for that perfect opening in the sky. What made the experience even more special was getting to know them along the way. They shared fascinating stories about their lives, growing up and living in Alaska and their experiences over the many years they’ve called Alaska home. They aliso went above and beyond to make us a true Alaskan experience, they treated us with hot chocolate, spiced hot apple cider and even reindeer hot dogs! The weather wasn’t cooperating, we were getting more and more discouraged as the hours passed. But Tony and Andrew simply would not give up. They kept checking the equipment, moving around and searching for an opening in the clouds. Finally around 3:30am they found a brake in the clouds- and there it was: the Aurora Borealis❤️❤️❤️❤️ That was absolutely magical! Thank you Tony and Andrew for your incredible dedication, patience and for working so hard to make our night unforgettable! If you’re considering an aurora tour in Alaska, we highly recommend Sky Chase and specially Tony and Andrew ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Cleary Summit Aurora Glass House Luxury Northern Lights Tour

Bruce_D, Mar 2026

A fantastic way to view the aurora!

While there’s no guarantee you’ll see the aurora, this is a fantastic way to try!! We were very lucky and had a terrific aurora the night we went, but regardless, the host managed all the details perfectly! The transportation was on time and comfortable, the glass house was amazing in a great location and very comfortable. It was warm and cozy with nice snacks and hot drinks, comfy chairs, a clean rest room, and the possibility of terrific views through the floor to ceiling windows. The hosts were friendly and helpful, alerting us when the aurora was appearing so we wouldn’t miss it. One of the hosts very expertly took our pictures outside with the aurora behind us and conveniently sent them to us afterwards. We highly recommend this experience! It was definitely worth it!
