This six-hour bus tour begins with a pickup at your Anchorage accommodation. The guide drives to locations chosen based on a daily update of aurora borealis activity and weather conditions to improve the chances of seeing the northern lights. The tour only runs if the forecast indicates a possibility of aurora viewing. During the night, stops include Chugach State Park where participants walk a short trail to an overlook showing the city and northern views, and Eagle River with a stop at Mt. Baldy trailhead for elevated views to the north. The longest part of the tour is spent near Palmer, covering areas from the Knik River to the Hatcher Pass Management Area. The guide is a professional photographer who assists with aurora portraits. Included are snacks, tea and coffee, blankets, tripods, and all state park admission fees. This tour suits both photographers and general visitors interested in the northern lights. Because the aurora and weather are natural events, sightings cannot be guaranteed. Guests can reserve multiple nights with payment finalized 48 hours before the tour. If the northern lights are not seen during the tour, a free makeup tour is offered. This tour is not recommended for small children.
