Ride a dog sled beneath Alaska’s night sky, watch for the Northern Lights, and warm up with dinner in a cozy yurt.

About this tour

Experience an Alaskan winter evening with two memorable adventures: dog sledding beneath the northern sky and a home-cooked dinner in a cozy yurt. This 6-hour tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off, with a driver-guide accompanying you along the way.

Take a dog sled ride and keep watch for the Aurora Borealis, then settle in for dinner. Choose Alaskan salmon or request vegetarian pesto pasta when you book. The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. Guests should provide their weights and meal choices at reservation; children under 5 are not permitted, and a 250 lb per-person limit applies to dog sledding.

Enjoy an evening that pairs an outdoor Alaskan experience with a warm meal. Book your Northern Lights viewing and dog sledding tour for a chance to see the aurora above the winter landscape.

How this score is calculated

This tour scores 4.80 on Viator and 4.53 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.

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 6.4.
