Confirmation Call:

Our Aurora Team will be in touch with your confirmation call on the date you have your tour booked between 3:00 - 5:00 pm. Should conditions be overwhelmingly unlikely to be successful, we will work with you during that call to reschedule your tour, based on availability.

You must respond to our forecast call via return call or text message by 5:30 pm.** If we have a waitlist and you haven't confirmed by 5:30 pm, *your seats will be released and considered a no-show.* Please keep this in mind if you have a flight arrival the day of your first night of forecast and will be in the air between 3:00 - 5:00 pm Alaska time.

Forecasts are based on cloud cover, and moon brightness. The aurora strength and brightness are mostly dependent on the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF). The IMF constantly fluctuates and can only be known once the solar wind is detected by the DSCOVR satellite. These values are received a maximum of 30-90 minutes before arriving to our atmosphere. For this reason, we will be unable to predict how strong and bright will be during your phone call. Our aim is to get our guests in the most ideal spot for if/when elevated conditions arrive.

Prepare for your confirmation call

If you have an international phone number without local mobile service, please **enable Wi-Fi calling** on your phone. This will allow you to receive our forecast call as long as you're connected to Wi-Fi.

Here's what to expect during your day of tour confirmation call:

• Confirm all order details and duration of stay in Alaska. These details will help us create a personalized forecast for your group.
• Discussion of general weather patterns and moon phase during your visit.
• Cloud forecast for that night's conditions.
• Personalized recommendations based on your group's expectations and availability.

What to Wear

• Our Aurora tours visit areas up to 3 hours from Anchorage, often in higher elevations in remote areas where it is significantly colder than Anchorage.
• Dress in layers, including base layers, mid-layers, and heavy outerwear. Aurora viewing is not an active pastime. You'll be standing outside looking at the sky, at night. We keep our vehicles heated in case you need to warm up.
• Wear insulated winter boots and wear two pairs of socks. Wool is the best. During much of the winter, the ground is covered with snow and ice.
• A winter hat and gloves are recommended most of the year. You may also want disposable hand warmers.

Winter gear packages can be rented for $30 per person. They include a winter parka, snow pants, gloves, hat, insulated boots, and hand warmers.

Please Note

• Gratuity is not included ($200 per group recommended)
