Why travelers love this tour

"We were picked up from our Airbnb and brought to the cabin, which was adorable and toasty warm. Tracy cooked fish chowder and Bannock for the guests, both of which were delicious! She also shared photography tips and provided everyone with a tripod for night shots."

"The evening was like sharing a supper with family and friends. The cozy cabin atmosphere was perfect for waiting for the aurora. Our tour driver Derek took high-quality photos of us under the Northern Lights that we'll treasure forever."
