We are a very new company, but these are the same trips we’ve done all our lives as locals, now shared with you. This isn’t a packaged tour, it’s a real slice of Interior Alaska built on 20+ years of exploring these waters. We’ll launch from the Nordale boat launch and head upstream on the Chena River by jet boat. Once we reach the Chena River Dam, we cut the motor and switch to a quiet drift, letting the river carry us back down. This is when things slow down and the experience really comes alive—no engine noise, just the sounds of the river and the surrounding wilderness. Drifting gives us some of the best chances to spot wildlife along the riverbanks and in the water. It’s common to see moose feeding in the shallows, beavers working the banks, and birds like bald eagles, and ducks. On occasion, black bears make a sighting while we drift down the river. While wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, this quiet stretch of river is prime habitat, and we see animals often.

Mountaintop 360° Best Alaskan Cabin with Photography @Aurora Camp

JorgeAlberto_P, Apr 2026

Best Northern Lights tour in Fairbanks!

This was the best time during our trip to Fairbanks to see the northern lights. Money well spent. The lights were almost non stop since we got to the cabin. David was a great host, he is funny and knowledgeable, he picked us up from the hotel. He took professional amazing pictures that he sent to us almost immediately at the end. The lights are awesome, it is a beautiful spectacle. The van was warm and comfy. The cabin has everything you need: coffee, snacks, noodles, restroom, comfortable sofas, table, chairs, etc. David even made hot dogs for us. You can be in and out as you please to look at the lights. Everything you have heard or seen about the lights doesn't compare to live it. Don't hesitate to book, especially with this guy. 5 stars.

Northern Lights Aurora Tour with FREE Photography

Renato_P, Apr 2026

Phenomenal experience with this tour

Loved the experience. Although nothing is ever guaranteed, we were able to obtain our goal in catching the Northern Lights. Our tour guide (don't remember his name) was very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the Northern Lights. You can tell he was genuinely amazed and excited as we were when we were able to catch the lights. Even after catching the lights at one spot, you can tell on the way back he was invested in trying to catch them again. He had the camera and high tech equipment in taking great videos and photos for everyone. As the majority of people on our tour were more focused on trying to get their own photos on their camera phones, my wife and I seemed to be the only ones for him to take photos on his own equipment which we didn't mind. It was like a private shoot. lol. I don't think they understood that his equipment catches the light way better and he even kept encouraging the group to take many pictures on his equipment. The van was always a comfortable temperature and he provided water and various snacks to keep you filled. We brought pillows and rested while there are times you are just resting and waiting in the car until you are able to catch the lights. Great experience! Catching the northern lights was what my wife wanted to do on her birthday and we achieved that. At the end of the night, they provided a piece of cake that was very yummy. They are supposed to send us our pictures and video a week or two after so we haven't received that yet since we went on the tour just a few days ago. All we can say is thank you again for the phenomenal experience! The picture posted is our own picture on our camera phone. Can't wait for the professional pictures!

SkyChase™ | Northern Lights Experience - Free Photography & More

Pamela_O, Apr 2026

Amazing tour! Best chance to see the Northern lights with photos!!

These guys are experts!! They took us to a great place for viewing the Northern lights near Birch Lake. They took professional photos, and provided several heated areas to hang out to warm up when it got too cold. We would not have been able to see the Northern lights as vividly or at all without this tour. We tried. We highly recommend this tour!!! I also wanted to say that we had a lot of trouble making it to our tour due to mechanical issues with our first airplane, leading us to be re-routed through Portland and Anchorage. Nicole was absolutely wonderful about working with us to help us join the tour. It also happened to be the best viewing during our entire stay. We are very thankful. This tour was wonderful and the guides are nice people.

Guided Fairbanks Snowmobile Tour

Sharon_W, Mar 2026

Great first time snowmachine experience.

Adult family did the 1-hour snowmachine trip. The lodge outfits you with extra gear so you will stay warm and comfortable. We had gear but they added a second coat, fleece balaclava, and different boots. Great trip and guide. I was concerned that my glasses would fog but it was easy to partially open my visor and keep visibility. Made the experience comfortable for 1st time snowmachine operators and we also turned up the speed. Loved going slower through the narrow path in the woods. Just beautiful. Thanks for a fun time.

Aurora Glass House – Northern Lights and Photos at Cleary Summit

Rona_L, Mar 2026

They delivered, saw the...

They delivered, saw the Aurora as soon as we reach the glasshouse and it was spectacular- there were snacks and hot drinks while you wait inside the house and the organizers were really good at making sure everyone got a good view of the lights and every party got photographed, clean restroom . The photos were sent early in the morning- definitely recommend!

Northern Lights & Chena Hot Springs Tour

Kimberly_A, Mar 2026

Do not miss this one!

This was an incredible excursion and an absolute MUST if you're visiting Fairbanks! We had dinner at the on‑site restaurant; the standout dish by far was the Clam Chowder (so delicious!)—the rest of the menu was just okay. But the Hot Springs? Absolutely AMAZING. Some of our best photos from the entire trip came from capturing the auroras at Chena Hot Springs and even on the drive back to the lodge. It was such a magical experience. If you’re in Fairbanks, do not skip this. 10/10 recommend!

1 Day Shared Tour Arctic Circle and Aurora Viewing in Alaska

Shankar_K, Mar 2026

Fantastic, once in a lifetime experience with a truly great operator

Absolute once in a life time experience. As mesmerizing the Aurora and Arctic circle were, I wanted to give a shout out to our guide and tour operators Sultan. He was very resourceful and courteous and professional to the core and shared a passion for the main elements of the tour. Let me highlight what I liked about him 1. Was able to quickly accommodate changes when a couple of family members arrived late due to missed flight connections 2 . Gave very good directions up front via text message on what to bring and what to expect 3. Was very patient, without hurrying. made extra stops to enjoy the Aurora and almost allowed 1-2 hours extra because the Aurora watching was too good 4. Was also an excellent photographer and provided memorable pictures and also dashcam videos of the scenic drive 5. Was professional to the core and passionate about Aurora, the Arctic circle and Alaska and help the guests truly get more than their money’s worth 6. Skillful and safe driver, you want on your side when driving on the icy Arctic circle roads

Arctic Circle Day Tour

Mrs_L, Jan 2026

Brrrr

This was an amazing trip. We learned about the Aleyska pipeline and got to see many, many miles of it as we traveled northward on the famous Dalton Highway - and yes, it's just like it's portrayed on tv. We met firefighters from several different countries since the trip afforded us a lunch stop at an outpost. I can go on and on, but we went during the summer (late July) and it was a whopping 34 degrees. Loved, loved, loved this excursion and even the rest of group that was also on the tour. Would go again!
