Top Fairbanks Photo Shoots

Try your luck spotting the northern lights inside a cozy countryside cabin, where you can wait for the lights to (hopefully) appear in the sky while saying warm and comfy. Located on a hilltop near Murphy Dome, the cabin has several windows offering 360° views of the night sky, giving you the best chance to see them. Your guide monitors the aurora and assists with photography and spotting.

Set out in search of the natural phenomenon of the aurora borealis during your time in Alaska on this nighttime excursion.

Not all Northern Lights tours are the same. At Champion Skyes Adventures, we've created an aurora experience that is comfortable, personal, and focused on helping you appreciate one of nature's greatest displays.

Our guides explain what causes the aurora, why it changes shape and color, and why Alaska is one of the best places on Earth to see it. When the lights appear, step outside to enjoy the show, gather around the fire, and capture the moment. Complimentary aurora portraits are included when conditions allow. Experience the Northern Lights in comfort while creating memories that will last a lifetime.

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.
