The Aurora Borealis is a natural phenomenon and cannot fully be predicted. We do NOT guarantee aurora sightings!

We do our best to track the live data constantly being reported by NOAA and NASA.

The aurora is visible in Fairbanks 9 out of 10 nights from August through April when it's dark outside, at night. Some shows are faint, others are great! Thick clouds are the only thing that fully prevents viewing.

    We had a great tour and chase with Lindsay! She really went out of her way to make sure we got to see the lights on our last possible night after we had three nights of solid cloud cover. She was so informative and helpful, I can’t say enough positive things. Highly highly recommend booking a chase tour!!

    This tour was a wonderful experience. Lindsay is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We had a great time, and she found a lovely viewing spot for the Aurora, despite a generally cloudy day.
