Look for the Northern Lights near Fairbanks, then enjoy a home-cooked dinner in an off-the-grid Alaskan yurt.

About this tour

Head beyond Fairbanks for a chance to see the Northern Lights, then settle into the warmth of an off-the-grid Alaskan yurt for a home-cooked dinner. This five-hour experience pairs the possibility of a vivid aurora display with a welcoming meal in a distinctive remote setting.

Your driver-guide provides hotel pickup and drop-off, taking you near Fairbanks to watch the night sky. At the yurt, enjoy dinner along with coffee or tea. The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, so sightings cannot be guaranteed; the tour does not provide refunds if they do not appear. Vegetarian meals can be requested when booking, though gluten-free and vegan meals are not available.

For a memorable evening of Alaskan scenery, local hospitality, and sky watching, book the Fairbanks Northern Lights Experience and Cabin Dinner.

This tour scores 4.52 on Viator and 4.66 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 6.7.
