About this activity
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.

We went to see the lights but got rained out. Skies were good as we headed out but when we got there they clouds moved in and just got heavier. GOt 50% refund since could not see anythign but they did all they can including doing a go away cloud dance. Still fun group and would try again but realize you do not see much of the lights just a glow to the very north not the full sky - have to go much further north.
The Greatland Adventures Northern Lights tour was incredible. They start with very friendly and helpful drivers like Brad and a trip outside Anchorage for the best viewing of the Northern Lights. The display in the September sky on our night left us awestruck. The team made sure that we were warm and comfortable. They took pictures of each of us with the northern lights that will be cherished forever. I highly recommend this tour of a lifetime with these great folks!
Highly recommend this tour. Knowledgeable and very courteous tour leaders. Even though we didn’t see too much of the northern lights, the information they provided was so Insightful.
