Anchorage Northern Lights Photo Tour

Learn about this Northern Lights photo tour in Anchorage. This is a wonderful experience that lasts around six hours and usually takes place at night so you can observe and capture the phenomenon with the help of an expert photography guide who will accompany you. It is an activity for groups of about 10 people and includes round-trip transportation from hotels and flats in downtown Anchorage.

While waiting to take your best aurora borealis snapshot, coffee or tea and snacks are provided at the reserve, which also gives you the opportunity to borrow a tripod to take the best picture.

The aurora borealis is a natural light show that occurs in the northern hemisphere, mostly in the Alaskan region between September and April. It is caused by particles from the sun colliding with the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere.

It is characterised by colourful and dynamic light waves that form shapes and patterns in the night sky in colours ranging from green through purple to red.

This phenomenon attracts many visitors, especially in some of the places you'll pass through, such as Chugach State Park, a stunning natural wonder that offers a wide range of outdoor activities, including aurora borealis viewing.
