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.
My adventure with Nate was wonderful. After going to Chena Hot Springs where I saw the ice museum, drank an appletini, and soaked in the hot springs, he took us to the perfect place to see the aurora, which was fantastic. There he cooked reindeer sausages and s’mores. He was a great guide, quite knowledgeable about the area and the aurora, and fun to be with. The whole trip far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend him.
