Fairbanks
As our home base, Fairbanks is one of the best locations in the world for Northern Lights viewing — located directly under the Aurora Oval. Each night, our SkyChase™ tour departs from Fairbanks and uses the Lights-for-Life™ Formula to determine the optimal location outside the city for clear skies and strong activity.
Murphy Dome
Murphy Dome is one of the highest accessible points in the Fairbanks area and occasionally used on clear-sky nights for its panoramic views and low light pollution. It’s a prime example of the remote high-elevation locations our team accesses while chasing the Aurora.

The entire staff from the drivers, to photographers to people working the Lodge did a great job. They made the experience very enjoyable. Our Driver Andre was fantastic! Very accommodating, very polite and an Extremely nice person. We saw the Aurora for at least 2 hours. Sometimes more vibrant than other but just fantastic view and awesome pictures. We’d recommend this trip to anyone.

Fantastic tour. Even though we only saw the aurora for a short time, it was worth it. Did a bit of aurora chasing too. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the photos they took were amazing. Campfire was nice to visit with others. Would definitely do this tour again .

Andrew and Mike carefully planned where we had the best chance of seeing the lights and in terrible cloudy conditions found us a brilliant experience I will never forget. Their enthusiasm was infectious and they didn’t rush us even getting us off the bus to see one last display. Above and beyond in everything, it was amazing,

We had a great time! The reindeer sausage was delicious! The tour guides worked had to find the northern lights, which do not always appear, we were fortunate to see the lights, just breath taking! Thanks to the talented people who made this happen.

Fabulous! This group uses technology and forecasts to find the best spots and get you on the aurora. They have a nice setup with a camp trailer, solo stoves, and camping chairs. You roast reindeer sausages and make smores, and they have delicious coffee and hot drinks available too. We had almost lost hope and then the lights showed up in all their glory almost exactly when their data predicted it would! It was so exciting and they set their cameras for the best exposures and take pictures that they share with you about a week after. Top notch - don’t miss out!
