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.
