Ronn & Marketa were amazing. We chose to rent the full kit from them and they made it so easy. Ronn responded quickly to all my questions/emails. They picked us up promptly from our hotel. We were a group of 7 and they gave each individual the time needed to make sure our adventure was awesome and the pictures we got were perfect. We were very fortunate to have a couple hours of beautiful lights to watch and photograph. We were in Alaska for two weeks and this was by far our most favorite event.

If only all tour operators and guides were as passionate about what they do and concerned about their customers as Ronn and Marketa of Aurora Chasers are. Knowing how hit-and-miss seeing the Aurora can be, we booked three nights with them. Before we arrived in Fairbanks, I knew we had found something special. Ronn quickly responded to each of my questions and steered me to the proper lens for my Nikon. The week that we were in Fairbanks had to have been a nightmare for Ronn and Marketa. It was raining when they picked us up each evening. In order to see the Aurora, we were forced to drive almost three hours north to get out from under the cloud cover. The first night, they were able to find some windows in the clouds. We were able to get some photos, but the windows closed very quickly. The second night Marketa spotted some very active Aurora between the clouds and the horizon. Ronn was determined to find the perfect spot and overcame some nasty, low hanging fog to do so. His persistence paid off. We were eleven, very happy “campers”. It was amazing to watch both Ronn and Marketa move from person to person, checking to make sure everyone was satisfied. Marketa took some wonderful portraits of each of us and Ronn provided photography consultation and problem solving. Without his help, our photos and trip might have been ruined. In addition, Ronn (also) deserves a shout-out for his ability to navigate some sloppy and slick unpaved Alaskan highways. We got home safely at 6:30 a.m., and each time were thrilled with our adventure, knowing that Ronn and Marketa had done everything in their power to ensure that we saw and experienced the Lights.
