When will you have dates for 2026. We're looking at Jan or Feb of 2026 for this tour. Can we not do the snow shoeing or skiing that day? We're in our 70s and active but not athletic so a leisurely stay st the lodge or hotel might be better. We love the other adventures.

You wouldnt have to participate in those 2 activities if you didnt want to. We would suggest other options you could do instead of the activities. I will check with my partner on Monday about getting our 2026 reservations on Tour radar. We have them on our website so i know they are ready. Let us know if you have any questions.

Can you please let me know the hotels details. What kind of hotels you are providing?

We stay the first two nights at the SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Fairbanks alaska. Then we spent two nights at Chena Hot Springs and then the last night we come back to the SpringHill Suites in fairbanks.

What time would we need to be in Fairbanks on March 18th? And what time would we be able to get on a flight to return home on March 23rd?

March 18th and 23rd are both travel days, you can arrive and depart anytime. Just a heads up, we only have 3 seats left on this departure date.

On day 3&4 nothing is said about where you're sleeping. Do you spend the night in a yurt?

Thank you for your interest in our Northern Lights tour! I've uploaded an itinerary that includes all the lodging information, please take a look at it and let me know if you have any questions.

The tour was excellent. Well planned itinerary, hotels were nice, food was plentiful. As expected, I had to worry about nothing. The surprise was the friendliness and expertise of the guide, Brandon. He built a relationship with each of us (11 on trip) and adapted it for each of us. He knew the options available in the parks and explained much about the environment - from birds to plants to rock formations.Guy knows his stuff. If you are able, get on one of his tours!

Our guide Steven was extremely knowledgeable and as beautiful as all the parks were, his explanations of how and when their formation occurred enhanced the experience. I have seen quite a bit of the world beauty this planet has to offer, from Iceland to the Canadian Rockies but nothing like the Mighty 5 parks in Utah. This should be a must for any bucket list and this tour gets you there in 5 days without feeling rushed.

This was an amazing trip. Our trip began with breathtaking Zion National Park. Everyday following we visited a new park just as majestic and exciting with a good mix of hiking and sightseeing from the very comfortable Mercedes van. The views took my breath away. This is a well planned out excursion. Erin (our guide) was very personable, attentive and informative. He made sure that guests needs and abilities were taken into consideration. He suggested hikes for different levels of fitness and there was something for everyone to enjoy. I highly recommend this trip.
