Aurora Oval Nightly Northern Lights Chase
8 hours

$235
The only private aurora tour in Fairbanks with both a wilderness lodge and mobile chase capability. Your group gets exclusive use of the lodge, van, and guide—the night runs on your schedule. Most aurora tours make you choose: sit at a lodge and hope, or ride in a van all night. This tour does both. On clear nights, you watch the aurora from a warm cedar cabin with panoramic windows, a fireplace, and hot drinks deep in Alaska's interior. If clouds move in, your guide Michael—a native Alaskan with 20+ years of experience—takes your group mobile to chase clear skies. No other private tour in Fairbanks offers this flexibility. Groups of 2–9 guests. Families with children under 10 welcome. Whether you want to stay out until 4 AM or wrap up early, the pace is yours.
