Alaska's Northern Lights Private Night Tour

The Northern Lights, formally the Aurora Borealis, carries an aura of mystery with it through its dazzling light show that covers much of the dark winter sky. Although completely based on the science of solar flare activity hitting the Earth's upper atmosphere and the resulting visual spectacle, locals and visitors alike are mesmerized by the display of colors ranging from green to yellow to orange-red, seemingly "dancing" in waves from horizon to straight overhead. The intensity of colors and brilliance is dictated by the amount of solar energy expelled and cannot be entirely predicted, yet many nights each month will see at least some degree of activity. As this tour begins at sunset and lasts late through the evening or starts late evening into early morning hours, guests are assured the best possible viewing opportunities. The exact end destination to view the Northern Lights will be decided right before the trip begins wherever skies are clear and viewing best.
