Would not recommend this tour. No campsite, no washrooms and no hot drinks. Put on a hot packed bus and told we’d be chasing the lights for 4 hours. Asked about the campsite and was told chasing would be better as it was cloudy. Didn’t sign up for a bus ride. Got off the bus and didn’t do the tour.
We' re so sorry to read your review! We do have our campsite with good facilities. Because that night was cloudy, we planned to take a hunting tour in order to find some chances somewhere. That's a regular operation in the poor weather condition. We understand that moving night tour on the winding road may cause some customers dizzy and unconfortable, especially in dark and wild area. Night hunting tour is more like a discovery with patience and luck. Our guide must haven't communicated with you properly and served more carefully. We are really sorry that you left early and were disappointed with the hunting tour experiences. We hope we have another chance to try all our efforts to make it better. All the best wishes to you and good luck! Peter Song Jiguang Tour
Mike on J Guang tours did a good job, he's entreprenurial, spoke clear English, was interested in providing a good tour and information.
Thanks so much for your review! We're always trying our best to serve our great customers. Hope we meet again! All best wishes to you! Peter Song JiGuang Tour
We had a great time! The aurora was beautiful. Our pictures and the host's give us a wonderful souvenir of our tour!
Thanks so much for your kind review! Wish you have a wonderful prosperous new year! Good luck! Peter Song
We had an amazing time, we were lucky with the skies being clear and able to see the Northern Lights and grabbing amazing pictures. Jimmy, our guide was knowledgeable and personable, he made it fun and had great ideas for photos. Thanks Tanya and family.
Thanks for your great review! We're so happy to meet you and had a wonderful time! Wish you have a much more prosperous new year! Peter Song JiGuang Tour
The guide Jim was very helpful and he tried his best to make everyone happy. Even there had been just small almost invisible auroras.
Thanks so much for your kindest review and great understanding! As everybody knows, northern light is natural, it only can be by chance. We appreciate that you understand the situation. We hope that we can have another chance to meet you and have the wonderful aurora！All the best to you!
it is the worst of the 3 tours I joined, not the "best". they drove you to their camp, waiting and waiting, just wast time. Who care about your camp? they provide "cookie" and "hot chocoholic" at the camp as they advertised. But who care about that when people just had dinner and came from warm hotel. While during the cold trip, they had nothing to provide you.
Our tour guide, Mike, spoke almost completely in Chinese, probably because all the other people on the tour understood him. The tent area with the tepee had a cozy vibe. There was no aurora, I understand that this is not anything that anyone can control. We waited in one area, Lake Prosperous. The sky cleared and we got a star studded dark sky. The guide did not seem interested in going to other spots or explaining that maybe he knew that the chances of an aurora were slim. There was no effort at aurora chasing, contrary to what the description says.
Dear valued customer, We're so sorry to see this unexpected matter happened! Our tour guide thought that the dark sky with a star might be a sign of some chance and it might be better to keep staying than moving to avoid missing the possible opportunity. He didn't pay attention to change language for all customers, that's a problem and didn't work properly. We feel really sorry about this! As Mike told, he separately took you to visit our campsite in English and arranged hunting tour late. Some misunderstanding might happened or be caused by some unclear explanation. Anyway, we really appreciate your review! We'll seriously discuss this issue and try all our best to improve our teams' operation! All best wishes to you!
This is the second tour company that I went with to see the Aurora in Yellowknife. Jiguang clearly communicated their pick- up time via email based on visibility and access to clear skies. [Our pick-up time was 1000 PM and the drive to the base camp was approximately 10 minutes.] On the ride out, our multilingual tour guide, Daniel, was very clear in terms of what to expect and accommodated any/all questions. He's also comedic which helps! For this particular night, April 4th, we went to their homebase. It has several structures. The building has ample seating and tables with complimentary hot beverages and snacks. The bathroom was clean and well appointed. The highlight was the outside of the property featuring several viewing areas. There were two teepees lit up for pictures and one teepee with a heater and clear windows. This option allowed many of us to stay warm on the inside while viewing the Aurora on the outside. There was also a fireplace area where guests could roast marshmallows. An added bonus were the two photographers who were ensuring that all guests had camera time to capture their special moments with Aurora. Although I only had experienced two different companies, I enjoyed this property and the guides. [The other tour was a bus where we went lake to lake.] Viewing Aurora is complex yet we were fortunate enough to have a clear and active evening! I highly recommend Jiguang and hope you experience the Northern Lights in Yelliwknife.
Wonderful experience! It was an amazing evening of Aurora viewing, The people were very nice, the lodge waiting to see the Aurora was comfortable and nice. They provide professional photos. It was a wonderful evening!
Pick up was easy and punctual. This is a "camp" aurora tour, where you go to a building/campground to wait for the Aurora (vs chasing tour). They offer hot drinks and cookies, and there is a toilet. Outside there is a heated teepee and a bonfire. Photographer was excellent, although we had a hard time locating her to get our pictures made (she and almost everyone else was wearing a red CG coat). The lights were stunning, and I'm so glad we booked this tour. They did seem to cater to an Asian clientele (we were the only English speakers), but our guide Rae spoke perfect English, so communicating was never a problem.
