    Things to know

    Flights and landings are weather dependent. Guests are weighed at check-in; those 250 lbs or more may require an extra seat and 300 lbs or more may need a different aircraft. No backpacks or bags in the helicopter; drones, bear spray, lighters, battery packs, and firearms are not allowed.

    FAQs

    The dogsled camp is about 4,500 ft on a snow-covered glacier. Weather is unpredictable at that altitude, so dress in layers and be prepared.

    Drones, bear spray, lighters, battery packs, and firearms are not permitted. Backpacks or bags are not allowed in the helicopter and loose straps must be secured.

    Flights operate on Robinson R44, R66, and AStar helicopters. Aircraft type is not guaranteed. Groups of two or more may be split between aircraft but stay together on tour.

    Nate has clearly mastered the art of creating magical northern lights experiences in Fairbanks. Travelers consistently praise his exceptional customer service and flexibility, particularly his generous 24-hour cancellation policy that sets him apart from other tour operators. He doesn't just take groups to crowded viewing spots but finds secluded locations with clear skies, often setting up on frozen lakes with warming fires, hot drinks, reindeer sausages (with vegetarian options), and s'mores. His ability to read weather patterns and adapt plans on the fly means guests have the best possible chance of seeing the aurora. What makes Nate stand out is how he juggles everything seamlessly. He's building fires, cooking food, capturing stunning photos that arrive in your inbox by morning, spotting wildlife along the way, and still managing to give personalized attention to each guest. The tours often run late into the night or early morning, with Nate continuing to check for aurora activity even on the drive back. Beyond northern lights hunting, he also guides trips to Chena Hot Springs and the ice museum, sharing his extensive knowledge about Alaska throughout. Groups ranging from kids to seniors have felt comfortable and well-cared-for, with extras like blankets, mittens, and warming pads provided when needed.

    The best day ever! Jimmy was amazing and answered all our questions. We got to meet all the dogs and give them plenty of pats. The team got us all geared up with snow boots. Just remarkable an experience of a life time. We saw a mummy bear with her cubs well three black dots on the hill. 🤣 A big thanks to Sam for the flight up and commentary. We feel very lucky to have been able have this once in a lifetime experience. and couldn’t recommend it more, come with an open mind and open heart these guys and girls are working in extreme conditions to keep us safe and to still give us a taste of the dog sledding life. Huge thanks 🤩
