Q&A

Q: What happens if the weather's too bad for the Northern Lights?

A: If the conditions aren’t favorable for the Northern Lights, the tour guides often chase clearer skies, so you still have a chance to see them! They keep an eye on the weather throughout the day. Plus, you might end up learning a lot about the aurora, and at least you’ll get to enjoy the beautiful Alaskan scenery. Always a good time!

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this tour?

A: There’s no strict age limit, but younger kids might not fully enjoy the experience. It’s usually best for kids who can handle some hiking and the cold. Just be sure they’re bundled up! The tour is really designed for families, though, and everyone will have a good time if you prepare accordingly.

Q: How do the snacks and drinks work on the tour?

A: The tour provides light snacks like granola bars and some hot drinks like cocoa or tea. They also make stops where you can grab food if you get hungry. If you want a full meal, you can order catering as an add-on, which is super convenient! Just be sure to eat something before you go if you have a big appetite.

Considering the Denali National Park Plus Aurora Chase Tour for my partner’s birthday!

I'm looking to surprise my partner with this Denali tour for their birthday. The idea of snowshoeing and seeing the Northern Lights sounds amazing! Has anyone done this? Would you say it’s worth the price? How did the photography turn out? I'm a little nervous about the cold temperatures, though. What do I need to wear?

Just got back from the Denali Aurora Chase Tour—what a blast!

I just did the Denali National Park Plus Aurora Chase Tour, and it was honestly one of the best experiences ever! We got lucky with the aurora, and the guides were super helpful with photography tips. The drive through Alaska was stunning too, especially when we stopped at the historic town of Nenana. Bring your camera! You don’t wanna miss capturing all those beautiful winter scenes.
