About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Odyssey540785315920 contributionsGREATEST TOUR EVER!! LOOO NO FURTHER AND BOOK THIS!!GREAT TOUR EVER!!! David is a genius! He knows what he is doing! Just follow him blindly and he will take you to great places. We even accidentally met him on the next day and he was generous enough to take pictures again. SUCH A GREAT TOUR AND GREAT GUY!!!!Written 1 December 2024
- 723yichenx0 contributionsAmazing experienceIt was an amazing experience! Our guide Joseph was experienced, knowing exactly where to go to get the best aurora viewing place. We saw amazing northern lights, which were dancing in the sky. Truly magical! They were also willing to work with our schedule. At first we thought our timing might be tight for pick up, this tour was willing to work with us, providing alternative(later) pick up time. In the end we were able to arrive early, but their accommodation was giving us peace of mind.Written 24 November 2024
- Q6660IYbrandonc0 contributionsProposali proposed to my girlfriend during this tour and the pictures turned out amazing. Our driver was very nice and so was the guy taking the pictures. It was very cold, like -20, and our driver had no issues with us sitting in the car with the heat on, and the photographer would come and let us know to come out if the lights were appearing more. Overall a lot of fun and definitely a must if you’re visiting the area.Written 19 November 2024
- 433wanessal0 contributionsNice to meet you, Aurora!I took two tours with Chasing Lights: the Minibus chasing the Northern Lights (with Bailey and Amad) and the Artic fjord road trip (with Andrea and Nathalia). Both were excellent, as the guides and drivers were very committed to offering the best experience to each person in the group. Thankfully we were able to see the aurora all night long and got back to Tromso at 3:00am. I highly recommend both tours.Written 13 November 2024
- bakofan0 contributionsA SPECTACULAR TOUR!We again moved up our tour date because the weather was clear and good aurora activity was expected. David took us to areas where we saw the lights dance in new and totally unexpected ways. It was completely different from the previous night. Spectacular! What sets his tours apart is his passion about aurora photography because he enjoys the Northern Lights as much as his clients. This is THE tour to book! Thank you, David!!!Written 11 November 2024
- Traveler085408963170 contributionsGreat choiceIt was an extraordinary experience. They not only took us to see the Northern Lights but also created unforgettable memories throughout the tour. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Alaska for a truly special experience.Written 10 November 2024
- bakofan0 contributionsFantastic tour and photos of the Northern LightsWe had a wonderful Northern Lights tour experience thanks to David, the tour’s photographer. We heard activity would be good last night, so we asked to move our tour up a day, and they arranged that for us with no problem. David took us to several spots outside Fairbanks, and we watched in amazement as the Northern Lights evolved from being just on the horizon to filling the sky. At one point, David pointed out that the lights were dancing. Fantastic! He took as many photos as we wanted, and he made sure we were happy with the experience. It was wonderful night for us as we celebrated our second honeymoon. We can’t recommend this tour enough!Written 10 November 2024
- pnkdolly0 contributionsBOOK THIS TOUR!Book this tour! David was amazing :) great communication and very enthusiastic. Took SO many photos and I cannot wait to get them in a few days. He knew the spots to go and also knew when to wait for the lights to shine their brightest. We got so lucky with green and pink lights. So pretty!Written 10 November 2024
- Paradise079886468870 contributionsNorthern LightsWe had a great time with David to see the northern lights! Even though our chances of seeing them were on the lower side we were able to see them and take great photos! We were also able to get good photos of the Milky Way and article circle! So happy we took this tour and our tour guide David was wonderful and accommodating, thank you guys so much!Written 1 November 2024
- V4000QDcarlosj0 contributionsMemories that last a life timeI traveled with my wife and four other familly members to Fairbanks, a very polite and kind person pick us up at the hotel. They took us to some places apart from the city and they make the best effort to put in a picture the best Aurora Borealis memories, I n a day that the forecast was not optimum. They did a good job.Written 29 October 2024
- 598jiwonl0 contributionsBest Choice for Aurora ChasingI was able to do aurora chasing without regret with nice, passionate and professional guides. It was so good to see Aurora in various places while chasing for several days with the data and experience they have accumulated over the years. It was a happy time just to go to the Aurora spot, where the natural scenery is so beautiful without the aurora, and just looking at the scenery! But thanks to my luck and the good choice of tours, I met the beautiful Aurora many times every day😆 Not only that, but it was also good to hear some stories about Alaska/Fairbanks. Above all, it was the best tour to leave wonderful photos and memories because they took pictures with great enthusiasm!! * The pictures were taken with my phone. 친절한 열정적이고 전문적인 가이드분들과 함께여서 후회 없는 오로라 체이싱을 할 수 있었습니다. 다년간 쌓아오신 데이터와 경험으로 여러 날 동안 체이싱 하는 동안 다양한 곳에서 오로라를 볼 수 있어 너무 좋았습니다. 오로라가 없이도 자연경관이 너무 아름다운 오로라 스팟으로 가서 그저 경관을 보는 것만으로도 행복한 시간이었습니다! 하지만 여러가지로 운이 좋고 투어도 잘 선택한 덕분에 날마다 아름다운 오로라를 여러번 만났습니다.😆 뿐만 아니라 이런저런 알래스카/페어뱅크스 이야기도 들을 수 있어서 좋았습니다. 무엇보다도 정말 열정적으로 사진을 찍어주시기 때문에 멋진 사진과 추억을 남길 수 있는 최고의 투어였습니다!! * 사진은 제 핸드폰으로 찍은 사진입니다Written 27 October 2024
- shinkw0 contributions오로라를 제대로 볼 수 있는 최고의 투어! 오로라와 함께 좋은 사진을 찍을 수 있는 투어! What a great experience and picture! Highly recommend!오로라를 제대로 보고 싶은 분들 강력 추천합니다 오로라를 보거 싶다는 막연한 생각만 가지고 장문했는데 이 투어 아니었음 오로라 못보고 돌아갈 뻔 했어요. 정말 전문적이고 열정적인 가이드님이 좋은 장소에서 시간 낭비없이 오로라를 볼 수 있도록 해주시고 다른 사람 없는 곳에서 편하게 오로라를 즐길 수 있었습니다. 여기는 도로도 결빙되어있고 춥고 야생동물도 많아서 혼자 렌트해서 돌아다녔다면 노로라를 보지 못하고 고생만하다 돌아갔을 거 같아요. 정말 좋은 경험이었고 모든 분들에게 특히 오로라와 함께 좋은 사진을 얻고 싶은 분들에게 강력 추천합니다!! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the northen light! I just wanted to see the northen light, so I planned a trip to Alaska without enough preparation, but if it weren't for this tour, I would have gone back without seeing it. Alaska is very cold, and the roads are sometimes icy, and wild animals like moose appear, so it wouldn't be easy for foreigners to rent a car and go see the northen light alone. On the other hand, this tour's guide was professional, had a lot of experience and knowledge, and has lived in Fairbanks for a long time, so he knew a lot of safe spots where you can see the northen light well. He looked at the forecast and sky conditions and went to good spots to chase the Aurora. He knew what time is good to see, so you could see the northen light without wasting time. Very good tour!! Highly recommend to all, especially foreigners!!Written 26 October 2024
- hual7030 contributionsSee Aurora in Last Day of The TripSo lucky to see the Aurora in the last day of my trip! The view was amazing and we took so many photos. David is super professional! Highly recommended!Written 26 October 2024
- badb5y0 contributionsUnforgettable Aurora Experience with a Thoughtful Guide!!David, our guide and photographer, was absolutely amazing. He took the time to capture the most stunning photos of me and my daughter. I mentioned that my daughter has Autism, and David was incredibly considerate, regularly checking in to ensure her comfort. He made sure we had the necessary breaks, and he kindly allowed her to stay warm in the car while others were getting their photos taken. Despite the night having a KP1, which meant very low chances of seeing the Northern Lights, David knew exactly where to go and captured a once-in-a-lifetime shot. If you're thinking of booking an aurora tour, look no further—this is the place! Don't waste time searching anywhere else!Written 17 October 2024

We had such a great time! We met David at 11 am and he drove us to the dog sledding site (short drive, about 5 minutes) where we met Tony, the musher, and his ten beautiful dogs. Tony is a highly experienced musher, he is very knowledgeable and friendly. The ride with him was a lot of fun and our daughters loved patting the dogs afterwards!
David took more than a hundred beautiful pictures of us, and sent a link in the afternoon for us to download them.
Great experience, very professional and well organized!

This activity is such a wonderful experience for me. I live in a tropical country and we don't get any snow at all. The 5 mile trail on the dog sled is pure exhilaration. Thank you Alaska Journey Tour for giving me this experience. Kudos to my guide and photographer David. More power to you!

What a fun experience! The driver was extremely friendly and knowledgable of Fairbanks. The musher is an experienced dog sledding competitor so he definitely knew how to do handle his dogs and you can tell how much he adores them also. Now the dogs...absolutely beautiful Siberian Huskies! Each definitely had their own unique personalities and so friendly and fun. I would definitely recommend this tour. This is a must when in Fairbanks!

Dog sledding with actual Alaska RACE dogs was pretty awesome! Our musher actually competed with the same dogs in 1k km races, so that’s pretty cool. The dogs were pretty tame and we were able to take very close up pics with them. Very cool experience!

We had an exhilarating adventure with Tony and his huskies. The dogs were so very excited and once ready to go they became quiet and focused. Our five mile ride traversed a trail that took us through beautiful snow-laden trees. We learned from Nick about training the dogs to participate in sledding completion. Everything was perfect! The photos taken we uploaded quickly so we now have forever memories. We were picked up at our hotel and taken to a natural and remote site …. not a commercial spot with many people. There were just four of us and two at a time went on a 30 minute journey. Look no further for the best dog-sledding adventure. This experience far exceeded our expectation. The photographer took so many great photos, Thank you Tony and your wonderful and friendly Huskies.

Beautiful experience. Tony and his huskies are delightful. Hotel pick-up, a short drive, and we felt worlds away. He took us on a few miles' training run through the woods, explaining a lot of what he was doing along the way. The dogs are so happy and friendly - just magical! Exceeded expectations!

Thoroughly enjoyed this fun activity. Tony and David are truly pros. The ride is very smooth and exciting. Huskies are swell trained and friendly. Tony is a veteran and a competitive musher who loved this sport and his dogs. We left our sunglasses in the car and they brought them back to us very quickly in time for our departure.

What a fun ride for the whole family! Enjoyed a scenic sledding ride with Tony as our musher. He answers all our questions and told us the process of dog racing. Very interesting! Kids had so much fun! We all loved the fluffy Siberian huskies. They seemed loved and well fed. It’s great that Tony doesn’t want to overwork the dogs and just does 2 tours a day unlike other sledding tours that go on multiple daily. Very scenic and peaceful ride on a private trail with no others around. David was our driver and photographer. He took many beautiful pictures of our family. A must do when you’re in Fairbanks!

This was one of the best experiences during our visit to Fairbanks!! We started the ride at 1 and got a beautiful sight of the sun and the moon. Very scenic ride. Tony takes special care of the siberian huskies and explains all the commands they understand. The dogs are beautiful , healthy and very friendly. You can also pet the dogs when you are done with the ride. We were lucky to have David as our guide, he clicks a lot of candid pictures of you with the dogs!
