Fairbanks Aurora Chase Adventure 12 hr

Set out from Fairbanks for a 12-hour aurora chase into Alaska’s remote wilderness, where dark skies and changing landscapes create a memorable setting for the Northern Lights. This Fairbanks Aurora Chase Adventure pairs the search for the aurora with an engaging discussion of the science behind the display.

Transportation is provided from lodgings in Fairbanks or North Pole within 15 miles of the airport, or you can meet the group in town. Along the way, enjoy snacks and s’mores, with makings for hot cocoa, instant coffee, or tea. The guide can help you photograph the lights with your phone or camera, and the photographer may take portraits beneath the aurora, with up to 10 edited photos provided at their discretion. Weather-dependent extras may add a surprise to the night.

Remote Alaska means restroom breaks are generally outdoors, though a weather-dependent stop at a cabin or other building may be possible. Children are welcome, but a full night in extreme cold can be challenging. Choose this Fairbanks Aurora Chase Adventure for an immersive night outdoors, and bring warm layers and a sense of adventure.
