What are people saying about Fairbanks

Northern Lights & Chena Hot Springs Tour

Stephanie_N, Nov 2026

An unforgettable Alaska experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our Chena Hot Springs, Ice Museum, and Northern Lights tour was amazing! Matthew was a fantastic guide, offering multiple viewing locations for the northern lights and sharing photography tips to help us capture the magic. Seeing those lights was an experience we’ll never forget! Between soaking in the hot springs, exploring the ice museum, and enjoying the northern lights, this tour was a highlight of our Alaska trip. The resort restaurant was excellent, too! Delicious food, generous portions, affordable prices, and great service from our server, Jorge. Highly recommend! Thank you, Matthew and Jorge, for helping make our visit so special!

Northern Lights - Aurora with FREE Photos - Arctic Night Tours

Andres_F, Oct 2026

A 10/10 experience

The best experience to watch the auroras in Fairbanks: nice conversations, a wide knowledge about the lights, they know exactly where to go and what I loved the most is their contagious happiness when seeing the lights appear. Some snacks are provided, but something as hot coffee would be 11/10. Be ready for the cold nights and to see a spectacle in the dark sky. Thank you for your kindness and generosity, guys. I felt very welcome. (Still waiting for the pictures to arrive, but I am pretty sure they will be amazing!)

Aurora Glass House – Northern Lights and Photos at Cleary Summit

Juan_M, Oct 2026

Glass House and Stunning Sights

The Glass House is beautiful. The sights you gets are truly wonderful. Our guide was kind and really did his best to give us a memorable experience. We got to see a bit of the lights since it’s always weather dependent but our guide managed to get beautiful pictures for us. 100% recommend.

Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis Viewing) Chasing with Photography in Fairbanks

Kevin_H, Oct 2026

The best Aurora Borealis Viewing

Our group of seven joined the Aurora Borealis Viewing tour with Alaska Northern Lights on October 7th. Our guide, David, was exceptionally dedicated and responsible. He took us to several spots chasing the northern lights and captured photos of us using professional camera gear. Around 1:30 AM, just as we were heading back, David kept a close eye on the sky and suddenly made a turn toward a new spot. There, we witnessed the most breathtaking aurora of our lives. Within 15 minutes, a massive, vibrant curtain of lights danced across the sky like a rainbow. It truly made the whole trip worthwhile.

Spectacular Hot Spring Experience with Northern Lights

The adventure filled the...

The adventure filled the day. The trip from fairbanks to chena was worth the price of admission. Beautiful sights. Lots of wildlife...moose, fox, beaver, swan. Even a lynx. The hot springs were excellent. The restaurant on the property served some delicious food. The ice house was very cool (pun intended) and the apple martini was a nice touch. Didn't really see the northern lights, but not for a lack of trying by Gina, our tour guide. The clouds won this trip, but I would hesitate to try again with Gina behind the effort. Highly recommend!

Maybe next year!

I could not see the lights, it was cloudy. We knew it was going to be a hit or miss. The guides were fantastic. They tried everything they could to find a pocket opening up. The experience was really nice. I got to mingle around the fire and meet different people, have delicious Alaska coffee and hot chocolate.

Sultran was an excellent...

Sultran was an excellent driver. He definitely knows his job and is very good at answering questions and telling details of the roads he travels. The weather wasn't great for our road trip, so he had many things to pay attention to and did a great job at balancing all of it.Told us stories and shared videos and pictures with us after our excursion. I was pretty nervous about spending that amount of money, but I'm glad I invested it with Sultran. He earns his pay, for sure.
