Aurora Viewing

Fairbanks attracts people from all over the world to see the captivating light of the aurora borealis. As one of the best places in the world to view the aurora, there is an abundance of opportunities to immerse yourself in the beauty of the night sky in Fairbanks.  

Arrange to view the aurora from a heated “aurorium” cabin, yurt, dome or lodge, an overnight sled dog expedition, by snow cat tour, while ice-fishing, on a snowmobile adventure, or on a flight above the Arctic Circle. Multiple tours will show you how to take photographs of the northern lights or will take your portrait while the aurora dances in the background.
