Overview

Make the most of Alaska’s long winter nights with our Aurora Lodge Viewing Tour—the perfect blend of adventure and comfort. Leave the cold and crowds behind as you enjoy one of the best ways to witness the Northern Lights: from a cozy, hand-selected lodge outside the city, far away from light pollution.

We choose top-rated aurora lodges to give you an excellent chance of seeing the Northern Lights in a warm, relaxed setting. No standing outside in freezing temperatures—you’ll have a warm space to wait, step outside when the aurora appears, and warm back up whenever you need.

Your experienced local guide will be with you throughout the evening to share insights about the aurora, answer your questions, and help you make the most of this unforgettable night.

Why Book This Tour?
-Better viewing conditions than in town or roadside locations

-Personalized experience with a knowledgeable local guide
-Safe, stress-free night in Alaska’s wilderness

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Alaska wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Alaska over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
