Kind Words

Guests from the Alaska expeditions, in their own words.

“Dog sledding in the afternoon. The northern lights at midnight. I have traveled to 40 countries. This was, without question, the most memorable four days of my life.”
Catherine W. — Solo · Phoenix, Arizona · Feb 2025
“Learning to read the aurora for drone composition, watching moose at dawn through a telephoto lens, then reviewing the footage with Hasan by the fire — a career-defining week. He sees Alaska in a way most photographers never will.”
Yağız Sakar — Private workshop · Anchorage, Alaska · Mar 2025
“That evening Hasan drove us up to Hatcher Pass — the whole valley was dark except for the aurora shifting above us. I put my camera down. There are moments you don't photograph. Hasan knows exactly when those moments are.”
Özge Yürek — Solo · San Francisco, California · Apr 2026
“Day 2 brought a sunrise we never expected: a moose mother and her two calves crossing the road. That evening at Hatcher Pass the aurora rose in full curtains above the valley. This tour gives you things you don't have words for yet.”
Orkun & Selin Bayer — Couple · Miami, Florida · Feb 2025
“Worth every cent and more. The aurora came on Night 1 — full curtains across the whole sky. Hasan knows exactly where to be, and exactly when to be quiet.”
David & Emma L. — Couple · New York City · Mar 2025
