Northern Lights Lodge & Chase Tour from Fairbanks

About this activity

Trade the crowded roadside pullouts for a private wilderness lodge deep in Alaska's interior—where the aurora appears directly overhead in skies with zero light pollution. Recommended by National Geographic and led by a native Alaskan aurora guide, this small-group tour (max 10 guests) gives you the best of both worlds: a warm lodge on clear nights, plus the flexibility to chase the lights by van when clouds roll in. No other Fairbanks tour offers both.

Most Fairbanks tours park you at one roadside spot and hope. If clouds settle over that spot, the night is lost. We don't play it that way—when the sky closes in, we chase clear skies, so a cloudy forecast doesn't cost you the aurora. And on clear nights, there's nothing better than watching the lights blaze overhead, warm by the fire through the lodge windows.

✓ Small group of 10 or fewer—not a big-group operation—so everyone gets space and personal attention

✓ Out for the full night, not the 3-5 hours of a standard Fairbanks tour

What's included

✓Hot drinks, snacks, and clean restroom facilities at the lodge
✓Private wilderness aurora viewing lodge with fireplace, panoramic windows, and all amenities
✓Help with phone or camera settings for anyone who wants to capture the moment
✓Watermark-free aurora portraits of your group (1-3), delivered next morning
✓Round-trip hotel pickup and drop-off from Fairbanks
✓Scenic drive through Alaska’s interior in a heated, spacious van (max 10 guests)
✓Mobile aurora chasing if weather conditions require relocation

Not included

✕Cold-weather gear (dress warmly in layers; rentals available locally)
