Northern Lights Murphy Dome Viewing in Fairbanks

Amazing Aurora!

Josef and Paul were great guides for our night. They were both knowledgeable and passionate about all things Aurora and Alaska. They were both very generous with their time, making us comfortable. Ash who introduced the night to us was equally amazing!

Great trip. The guide made an active effort to make sure we had the opportunity to catch as much as possible. He was patient and taught skills to those on board that have never fished and us beginners who got our lines snagged. We stayed out a bit longer than planned to accommodate group requests. Great trip!

Sam was our guide he was absolutely the best! Lots of great stories and information from the time he picked us at our hotel, till the he dropped us back off at the hotel. He stayed with us the whole time we were at Chena Hot Springs Resot and Aurora Ice Museum. We even got to see moose traveling to and from Chena. Lots of interesting things to see and do there! We visited the Ice Museum, the Geo Thermal Power and the Geo Thermal Green House tours and they wer all fun and informative. We had great guides for each. They also had side by side atv and a electic atv tours as well. Swimming in the natural hot spring water was was amazing. This was a great fun and relaxing way to start off our Holland America land and cruise tour after our long flight here. We would definitely do this tour again but change it up a little. We would tey it as a night tour or a winter tour as well.

The Dogsled and Reindeer...

The Dogsled and Reindeer Day Trip to Borealis Basecamp was an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our Alaska trip! The dogsled ride was exciting, and it was amazing to see the strength and enthusiasm of the sled dogs. Meeting and feeding the reindeer was such a unique and memorable experience.The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire day enjoyable from start to finish. The scenery was beautiful, and Borealis Basecamp provided a wonderful setting for these authentic Alaskan activities. Everything was well organized, and we learned a lot about the local culture and animals.Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Alaska and looking for a fun and unique adventure!

Dancing Lights in the Sky on an Aurora RV Tour Adventure

I7782TYcarold, Apr 2026

Warm and Cozy

Daniel communicated well and arrived on time. We were greeted to a warm and cozy RV that made traveling a breeze. Once we arrived at the Aurora Viewing Sphere, Daniel started the heaters in the sphere, while we stayed warm in the RV. It was only a total of 4 of us on the tour, so we had free run of the sphere. There were plenty of snacks to nibble on and drinks. My son and I spent a lot of time outside playing in the snow and exploring around the sphere. Right about midnight Daniel alerted us to the aurora activity. It was such a beautiful site. We could see the colors with our naked eye, but through our cell phone lens (change the settings to "pro" and slow the speed of the lens) we could see the lights dance. For the next couple of hours Daniel would come and alert us when the light show would start up again. There was a bathroom in the rv for us to use, plus a port-a-potty near the parking lot. We had more aurora chases scheduled for the next 2 nights with a different company, but they ended up getting canceled due to cloud cover. Thanks to Daniel taking us out on our first night, we left our vacation very satisfied with our aurora encounter. It was a magical night and everything I hoped it would be.

Cleary Summit Aurora Glass House Luxury Northern Lights Tour

Bruce_D, Mar 2026

A fantastic way to view the aurora!

While there’s no guarantee you’ll see the aurora, this is a fantastic way to try!! We were very lucky and had a terrific aurora the night we went, but regardless, the host managed all the details perfectly! The transportation was on time and comfortable, the glass house was amazing in a great location and very comfortable. It was warm and cozy with nice snacks and hot drinks, comfy chairs, a clean rest room, and the possibility of terrific views through the floor to ceiling windows. The hosts were friendly and helpful, alerting us when the aurora was appearing so we wouldn’t miss it. One of the hosts very expertly took our pictures outside with the aurora behind us and conveniently sent them to us afterwards. We highly recommend this experience! It was definitely worth it!

Fairbanks Northern Lights Tour

Beyond my wildest expectations!

Of course the tour company and guides have no real control over the Aurora, but they certainly do what they can to ensure the best possible experience for us! We went on two consecutive nights and I have to think they were two of the best nights of the season. Mike and Ben were constantly checking apps that provided the latest information on conditions and they were able to educate us on what has to happen in order for the northern lights to appear. We were with them for hours, either outside watching (and you knew when to go outside because the excited yells would start), or inside the heated yurt (a necessity!). Their passion for this activity was very apparent and it rubbed off on all of us! They were very personable and available to answer questions the whole night. They took lots of pictures of the Aurora and of us to share with us which added to the experience. I can't recommend this tour enough ... as long as the conditions are favorable and I believe they have other tours for when they aren't.
