Overview

Sitting in the Auroral Oval, Fairbanks is widely known as one of the world’s best spots to view the northern lights. On this small-group tour, combine it with one of the locals’ favorite pastimes: ice fishing at a heated hut near Chena Lakes, Badger. In between angling, step outside in hopes of viewing those ribbons dancing across the sky. Consider it a two-fer adventure, only-in-Fairbanks style.

First Time Ice Fishing Fun

Mark_S, Mar 2024

Tyson & Hunter were great hosts; a tasty salmon dinner in a reasonably snug cabin...with lotsa good info and appropriate fishing tales.

Nice Fishing Tour

J_Z, Dec 2020

Our tour guide is super helpful. Sit on the iced lake, caught some fish, and enjoyed a warm meal, though we didn't see the aurora light (its depending on the weather).

Sinceramente no era lo q esperaba ! Me congelé los pies y termine resfriándome ! Era un lugar súper chico y bastante incómodo! El lugar Estaba helado cuando llegamos, tuvimos q esperar a q se calentara . Prácticamente no pescamos nada ! Tuvo que traer pescado congelado para comer e hizo lo q apenas sacaron algunos que eran pescados super chicos ! Un aburrimiento El traslado en una camioneta q estaba bastante vieja ! El muy simpático pero la experiencia no la recomiendo! Muy precario todo para lo que me cobraron y encima no pudimos ver la aurora
