Q&A

Q: What's the best time of year to go on the northern lights tour in Anchorage?

A: The northern lights can often be seen from late August to early April in Anchorage, but the peak months are typically September through March. Each month has its own charm, but keep an eye on the forecast during your chosen dates for the best chances! It’s also worth checking local events, as some months have festivals that celebrate the auroras.

Q: Is there an age limit for the northern lights tour?

A: There isn’t a strict age limit, but it's recommended for kids ages 10 and up due to the late-night hours and the cold weather. If you have younger kids, just be prepared with plenty of layers and maybe some hot cocoa to keep them warm! Call PicTours Alaska for specific recommendations.

Just booked the northern lights tour in Anchorage! What should I expect?

I just got tickets for the Quest for Northern Lights tour in Anchorage, and I’m beyond excited! I've heard they take you to the best spots based on weather data, which sounds awesome. I’m a bit nervous about the cold and how late it’ll go. Any tips on what to wear? Also, how was your experience?

Anyone been on the northern lights tour with PicTours? Share your stories!

I took the tour last month, and it was incredible! We chased the lights around Anchorage, and the guides were super knowledgeable. They even shared some cool stories about the constellations while we waited. Just a heads up, it gets really cold, so wear good boots and pack some snacks! Who else has been?
