We visited the lodge in early February. The drive up was comfortable, he was constantly checking if all passengers were warm enough and telling us about the lights and the probability of seeing them for that night. Michi and his wife Keiko were very welcoming and once everyone was settled there was coffee, tea, snacks, and enough chairs to lounge around while you waited for the lights. Michi participated in the Iditarod Trail sled dog race and tells you of his experience, which was very interesting to hear. Around midnight the lights started to appear, which you may not be able to see with your naked eye at first. Michi was great and super optimistic that the lights would appear more and they did late into the night. Even though our tour ended at 2am, Michi allowed us to view the lights until after 2am since they had appeared later, which was very nice. We enjoyed this lodge experience so much that we booked again the second to last night before we left Fairbanks, AK. The chances were slim again but around 1am Lady Aurora made her appearance and again Michi allowed us to stay past the tour end time to experience the beautiful show. Michi’s optimism was so motivating, and he assured us not to lose hope in seeing the lights one more time before we left Alaska. Throughout our entire trip, we would recommend anyone and everyone on other tours to use Aurora Husky Lodge to catch Lady Aurora. Thank you Michi and Keiko for a...
Read moreMichi is the Messiah you are all looking for. Everyone wanting that perfect Aurora photo you can only trust this tour. We flew all the way down to Alaska to catch Northern Lights. We had been trying for 3 days straight up with different touring companies but did not get any success. And then on the 4th day we booked a tour with Michi looking at the reviews and it turned out to be the best decision ever. Michi is so technically sound when it comes to Aurora, he actually predicts everything precisely to the tee just by looking at the forecast. He is very well versed with all the physics behind it that it gave us so much confidence and hope. Not only that he very efficiently took great photos of us and made it the most memorable event of our lives. We got so happy with the experience that we booked it the next day too. And voila we got to see the NL back to back for 2 days. All thanks to Michi. He truly is the best expertise wise and IMO nobody is as good as him when it comes to...
Read moreWe booked this activity last minute (same day of the tour) so did not have a lot to go by other than comments left by others, I am very glad we chose to do this!!! Michi of Aurora Husky Lodge (and his wife) were very good hosts whom provided a very nice environment at their cabin /lodge in which to experience the aurora. Michi is a very interesting individual whom has participated in the Iditarod several times over the years. He is very knowledgeable about the aurora and happily shares his knowledge with others. He also helped us ( my wife and I) set up our iphone settings to take the best pictures of the aurora, with his help we were able to get some very good pictures. He shows great interest in giving you the best opportunity to see the aurora, even extending our tour time slightly to help enable to see the aurora better as the clouds that moved in began to thin out. Thank you Michi for a...
