Our experience with Nathan’s Northern Lights tour was nothing short of exceptional. In fact, there wasn’t a single thing we disliked. Nathan offers something rare in the world of guided tours: a truly personal and memorable experience that feels different every time. Even though our group consisted of just three women, we felt completely at ease from start to finish. Nathan’s warm personality, humor, and professionalism made the entire evening not only safe but genuinely fun. We shared countless laughs, enjoyed delicious pizza, and had plenty of time for photos — which he took with great patience and attention to detail. What really sets Nathan apart is his hospitality. He doesn’t just take you to see the Northern Lights — he creates an experience that feels intimate, relaxed, and special. If you have the chance, don’t settle for one of the larger tour companies. Book with Nathan. You’ll leave with beautiful photos, great memories, and the satisfaction of having chosen the best guide out there. He really makes chasing the Northern Lights feel like hanging out with an old friend.

Nathan is a professional portrait photographer by trade, which is something you’d be hard pressed to find on any other Aurora tour in Fairbanks. He was a full time wedding photographer for 10 years before becoming an aurora portrait photographer, which he's done for over 7 years. Other tours offer “free portraits” but not to the level of expertise that Nathan provides. He uses controlled supplemental studio lighting to achieve unmatched quality and sharpness, using techniques he developed over 7 years of practicing aurora portraiture. We also provide complementary gear to help keep you warm and safe: hand/toe warmers, headlamps, water bottles etc. What everything boils down to is great photos and a personal experience. The photos speak for themselves and we want to get you some of your own. Not only will you have a top tier photographer as a guide but Nathan also has more than 20 years of Alaska artic wilderness survival skills and offers expertise in all things Alaska adventure.

This was a great experience! Nathan had researched the probability of seeing the Northern Lights given the cloud cover that night. He took us to the perfect spot and knew exactly where to look. We were so excited to see the lights! He sets up a tent with propane heaters to help stay warm. And gives guests hot pizza! It was a fun adventure and we highly recommend.

This tour was outstanding! Not only did we get to see an amazing aurora display, but we were kept warm, fed, and well-informed. The pizza was delicious! The guide, Nathan, is personable, accommodating, knowledgeable, and an incredible photographer. It's clear that he truly loves providing these tours and educating the guests on the science behind the northern lights. He really has the process nailed down and kept us entertained during the short waiting period before aurora primetime. I absolutely recommend this tour to anyone hoping for a great opportunity to experience the northern lights while in the Fairbanks area!

Nathan was really great. He picked us and others up in a van and took us to a good location outside of Fairbanks that had less cloud coverage than some other nearby areas. Unfortunately the clouds were stubborn and kept us from viewing the Aurora directly, but they were thin enough that cameras picked up the glow behind them which made for some really pretty pictures. Nathan is an excellent photographer and had the right equipment and took better pictures of us than we were able to get. The tent and pizza oven he set up was great and he set it up surprisingly fast. He also set up some other unique and fun camera shots while we waited to see if the clouds lifted. He was great answering questions, particularly about finding and seeing the Aurora. It was overall a nice night and experience and I highly recommend him as a guide to see the Aurora. For me, the place where he really stood out as a guide was how we interacted after the evening. I asked about his policy for a second night and wasn’t sure what his response would be since we saw the lights through cameras through the clouds. He said he would take us out again as that wasn’t a proper viewing, which was nice of him. I suggested that we didn’t need the whole trip with pizza and photos etc - we just wanted to see the northern lights, and so over the next few days I texted him for tips and he gave me valuable information. He gave us some locations that would work, tips on seeing where clouds are, and just general information we needed. Overall, it left me with the feeling that not only is he a really nice person, but that he cares if visitors are successful. That’s the main reason I recommend him as a guide. I felt he went above and beyond what one would expect from booking a tour. If we had gone with him a second night I would have paid him again (I like supporting these types of businesses) and I gave him a tip as well. The clouds have remained stubborn. It’s been overcast the whole trip. That said, using Nathan’s tips, one of our nights there was a hole in the cloud cover that we positioned ourselves at the right spot and got a decent viewing and some pretty pictures. I can only imagine if the sky was clear on an active night - we’ll have to come again, and will be sure to use Nathan again for the next trip.

The most amazing and unforgettable day we weren’t able to see the lights on our first night, but he brought us back the following day and we saw an amazing show for Pizza that tend to everything was amazing the first night when we didn’t see the lights, he took some amazing pictures of us and it was totally worth it, but do this again in a heartbeat
