Viewing the Aurora Borealis & Northern Lights at 2 different spots around Fairbanks area. We will pick you up at 11:00pm at your hotel in Fairbanks downtown or Hyatt Place Fairbanks (400 Merhar Ave, Fairbanks, AK 99701). (Pick up time is subject to change.) *** NO PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICE *** *** Tour Duration is for 3 hours *** We can’t promise to let you see the Northern Lights, which is Mother Nature that we cannot control. It is a natural phenomenon. NO Guarantee to see the Lights. Even though everything is good or not good when it starts, the weather or Northern Lights' activity always changes, and other conditions may change. It will be the natural things involved, which causes a lack of lights or low visibility. If you use Uber or a rental car to get there, you need to pay additional expenses. If you drive to these spots, it would be dangerous because of the snow and unknown road conditions. Therefore, we offer to pick you up and drop you off at the same place.
Nathan is a professional portrait photographer by trade, which is something you’d be hard pressed to find on any other Aurora tour in the Fairbanks area. Other tours offer “free portraits” but not to the level of expertise that Nathan will provide, he uses controlled supplemental studio lighting to achieve unmatched quality and sharpness with techniques he developed over 7 years of painstaking practice, specifically in aurora portraiture. We also provide you with complementary gear to help keep you warm and safe, like insulated over boots, hand/toe warmers, headlamps, ice crampons for traction, water bottles etc. But what everything really boils down to is great photos! The photos speak for themselves and we want to get you some of your OWN!! Not only will you have a top tier photographer as a guide but Nathan also has more than 20 years of Alaska backcountry artic survival skills and offers expertise in all things Alaska adventure.
Enjoy an adventurous winter activity during your time in Fairbanks. On this snowmobile tour, your guide will show you how to operate the snowmobile before leading you out to your adventure, through a true winter wonderland, exploring the frozen rivers, lakes and snow-covered mountains around the Chena Lakes recreation area outside of North Pole. It is very important that you arrive 30 minutes before your tour time for your safety briefing and gear check to avoid inconveniencing other tours running throughout the day. If you are more than 15 minutes late for your safety briefing, you will forfeit your tour and no refunds will be given. If you are using a GPS, do NOT take Conifer Drive. Take Nelson Road only. Allow 45 minutes travel time from Fairbanks.
Fairbanks Alaska ice fishing and aurora borealis viewing in a deluxe ice fishing cabin with electric and heat. While you wait for the magical aurora to appear sip hot cocoa as fish tug on your line.
Experience the splendor of winter in Alaska from the comfort of a warm railcar, complete with comfortable seats, large picture windows and onboard dining. The Aurora Winter Train travels between Fairbanks and Anchorage, making the southbound 12-hour journey on Sundays, as well as select mid-week departures (Wednesdays and/or Fridays) December through March. Flagstop service is provided along the 50-mile stretch of roadless backcountry south of Hurricane Gulch. While the Aurora Winter Train travels the same stretch of tracks as the summer Denali Star Train, the views are strikingly distinct; the vibrant colors of Alaska’s summer landscape give way to the quiet serenity of pristine snow. On a clear day, a spectacular view of Denali rises into view above the Susitna River. And anywhere along the tracks, a watchful eye may be rewarded with the sight of a moose in the wild.

Every tour has licensed guides and all equipments are provided, including fishing poles and bait. We also provide hot cocoa and bottled water. In the end, your guide will clean the fish you caught and cook them fresh and you get to enjoy your own hardwork!
