Fairbanks Northern Lights Chase 8 hr

Spend a full night chasing the Northern Lights on this Fairbanks Northern Lights Chase, designed to give you time to follow the aurora across the sky. The outing covers up to 150 miles round trip, with transportation from lodgings in Fairbanks or North Pole within 25 miles of the airport.

As conditions unfold, your guide shares the science behind the aurora and helps you capture it with a phone or camera. Simple snacks and supplies for hot cocoa, instant coffee, or tea add comfort during the night. You’ll also receive five edited aurora portraits at the photographer’s discretion. Stops may include a cabin or other dwelling, depending on the weather, but indoor plumbing is not guaranteed at remote locations. Dress warmly: the tour runs regardless of temperature, and the ground may be icy.

For travelers eager to make the most of a night beneath Alaska’s sky, this Fairbanks Northern Lights Chase offers an extended opportunity to seek the aurora. Bring your camera, bundle up, and get ready to follow the lights.
