When I think of outstanding trips I have taken, Ronn and Marketa Murray, aka Aurora Chasers, come to mind. I have been out with them on five trips and they have found the lights for us to enjoy every time. I contact them and book with them, then the motel and plane are booked. Words do not express the great trip experience they have provided over the four years and three trips I have made to see the beautiful Northern Lights. If you go to Fairbanks, AK, or you want to see the lights, I very highly recommend you book with them as well.

Cant go wrong. Personal and professional. We were able to see and capture the northern lights!!! Highly recommend
Ronn and Marketa Murray are simply some of the best travel or tour guides I have ever encountered. Their professionalism is unmatched, from the quality of the vehicle to their interpersonal interactions. Their workshops are personalized, and, leave every level of photographer feeling comfortable with their skill level. Their preparation for interior Alaska and the complexities of the Aurora was impressive. Their passion for people and the Aurora experience was crystal clear in every interaction. Book with them now without reservation.
Aurora Chasers, Marketa and Ronn Murray are THE REAL DEAL! - they are professional photographers who take the time to educate about the Aurora ... and to also teach each individual how to best photograph the Lights with either their own personal cameras or on ones they offer for rent. They have a true passion for Aurora Chasing - - it is felt by everyone in their presence! - their enthusiasm is extremely contagious!! We had the good fortune to join them for two different nights during a very cloudy and overcast week in Fairbanks - Due to their scientific knowledge, their contacts and networks around the area and their tremendous tenacity and true desire to find the Lights, our chances to find them were maximized ... We were blessed to see Lights both nights!! Dream come true x 2!! Truly, a spiritual experience!! Marketa and Ronn are lovely people who make you feel like family, and go all out to create the best experience possible ... and they do exactly that! They go the extra mile to accommodate each persons needs and to create an unforgettable experience. Beautiful memories!!
We look forward to joining them again on future trips to Alaska!
Ronn and Marketa were fabulous guides, knew as much about the northern lights as anyone, provided insight as to why we may or may not see the lights, and were great about explaining the best ways to photograph the aurora. For those of us without the requisite photographic equipment, we were able to rent from them for a fair price that included the camera with appropriate lenses, set up for aurora photography and the tripod…so all I had to do was provide the blank SD card and take the pictures.
If this was not enough, probably the most impressive aspect of the excursions were the lengths they went to find the aurora...due to circumstances that were fortunate for us…we ended up going out with them twice in our 8 day stay in Fairbanks. The first night (on a Tuesday), we went about 60 miles one direction from Fairbanks, and the second night (Friday) we went about 90 miles in a completely opposite direction...BOTH times we saw some amazing aurora displays!!! After hearing stories about how folks have gone out multiple times and never seen the aurora, I am convinced that if the aurora is there, Ronn and Marketa will figure out a way to find it. Sure, they may cost a little more, but definitely worth it!
If you want to give yourself the best opportunity to see one of the most amazing natural wonders of the world, check them out!
Ronn and Marketa are fabulous photographers and guides. They are extremely patient and are so knowledgeable about the Aurora and cameras, settings etc. I borrowed one of their cameras which was wonderful as it had the right lens and settings and I could just relax and experience the movement of the Aurora around me. It was a great night- Ronn and Marketa are so nice and make sure that everyone is having a great time. The tour was a dream come true for me. What makes their tour special is their commitment to providing the best possible experience for their guests.
You can't guarantee the Aurora to make an appearance but if it does, they will find it. Thank you!!
