Watch the Northern Lights near Fairbanks from a heated lodge, with guide insights, snacks, and professional photos when conditions allow.

About this tour

See the Northern Lights in comfort on this Fairbanks Aurora Photography Experience. Rather than spending the evening standing in the cold, you can relax in a heated lodge with indoor seating and restroom access, just steps from the viewing area. Snacks are provided while you wait for the sky to come alive.

Your guides explain what causes the aurora, how its shapes and colors change, and why Alaska is a remarkable place to watch the display. When the lights appear, step outside to take in the show and gather around a fire. Professional photos are included, with complimentary aurora portraits available when conditions allow. The experience lasts 240 minutes, giving you time to settle in and enjoy the night sky at your own pace.

Make the most of your Fairbanks Aurora Photography Experience and enjoy a memorable view of one of nature’s great spectacles, with warmth and guidance close at hand.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 10 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Fairbanks
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.6. Top 27% in Fairbanks means it ranks in the top 27% of tours in Fairbanks by this score.
