Knowledgeable driver and great team at the lodge. There is help to take pictures with your camera or with your mobile phone. I took this tour on my birthday and the northern lights made appearances! Great time!

The lodge location was a very intimate unique experience .. the guide was pleasant but not real knowledgable with Aurora facts & information .. she didn’t introduce herself .. or introduce the people in group .. but she got us to lodge safely .

Our group of 12 arrived at a beautiful lodge atop Cleary Summit. We walked into a large darkened room STUFFED with people! I counted over 34 people crammed into the space. There were hot drinks and cookies available. There was a large viewing deck out back. The host said very little, so we were on our own to know when the lights were outside. He even seemed overwhelmed with the number of people. I don't know what happened, but this was described as a "small group tour" and it was far from that! Fortunately, we saw a great light show and since it started late, we were allowed to stay an extra 40 minutes. Great experience except for the huge number of people. 4/5 stars for that reason.

Had Dana, arrived on time and very pleasant. We were a small grp of 3 and very quiet. The lodge was very simply, yet cozy. The head person there went over Aurora forecasting and would direct us outside to view....he even helped me with my photo settings to get some pretty dope shots. It's was a great event! I definitely recommebd!

The view was amazing I took so many pictures. The place we were in the top of the mountain was the best place to view the Northern Light. We also have cafe hot chocolate or tea and becket. We can view in the very nice warm longe inside or the big patio outside to take pictures. I recommend it to everybody this place.

The presentation was extremely well done. Steve's knowledge of cameras and phones was amazing and very helpful. The lights were such a blessing to see. We were so thankful for the warm building and restrooms. Our tour guide was compassionate and stopped 2 or 3 times on the way back to give us more aurora views.

It’s a lovely, cozy cottage to watch the Aurora from. Sadly, the Aurora didn’t make much of an appearance last night, but that’s not the fault of the owner.

The lodge viewing experience was very convenient to downtown Fairbanks so travel time was only about 30 minutes each way. Then, being allowed to relax in the lodge while waiting on Aurora appearance and viewing thru the lodge windows, then stepping out the back door to an expansive deck for photography made for an easy adventure. Coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies were waiting inside once we left the deck waiting for our next photography events.

Kathy made us all feel so welcomed and drove very safely. Seeing the lights was fantastic and (I forget his name) but the man who ran the program took such fun photos of everybody and explained everything about Aurorae.

We enjoyed the night. Our guide was great and even took us to another spot bc she felt the aurora may be better there. We saw a little of it but not much.

What an amazing experience. The Northern Lights were breathtaking. The lodge itself was very cozy and relaxing. We had a pick up from our hotel and the driver was very safe. Definitely recommend.

This was our first tour with this company. It was our first Aurora viewing as well, at the Viwing Lodge called the Aurora Pointe. The northern lights was impressive here at around 9:30pm.-10pm. And very strong around 1am. Good thing the guide let us stay until the end or else we would have missed the 1am phenom.

We really enjoyed the Northern Lights at the lodge owned by Mok (sp.?). Kathy and Brent our guides shared their remarkable personal stories, answered all of our questions, and helped us get the great photos that we’ve been sharing with everyone. The lodge is comfortable and warm, which helped with the sub zero temperatures. You can enter and leave the viewing area with ease.

The guides were amazing, the house was great. Lots of couches, huge windows and observation deck. Hot cacao, cookies and friendly atmosphere . They pick up only at certain areas, so be aware of that.

Crazy expensive! I’d suggest doing it on your own, save the money! You can go to the same viewing spot on your own and not pay $149!

This was a nice setup to view the lights. There were coffee and hot chocolate as well as lamb bites. We were there for two nights. The first night was good but the second night was spectacular!!! We were able to see the lights ribbon around and had great color. I heard a guide say the next day that they were calling it "The Magical Night". It surely was for us!

We went here for 2 nights. The first night we felt so lucky to see some bands of the aurora, but then on the second night we hit the jackpot. Just as we were leaving, the sky was electrified with a dazzling, dancing display of green, yellow and red lights. We could not have had a better experience. The lodge was warm and inviting, with plenty of warm beverages and snacks. Also, the host served lamb kabobs! Highly recommended.
