Chase the aurora from Fairbanks with a heated van, mobile lodge, and pro photos
Approximately 2:00–3:00 AM
up to 14 people
Pickup, Aurora photos, snacks
Chase clear skies near Fairbanks in a heated, winterized Mercedes Sprinter van and warm up in a mobile Aurora lodge. Get hands-on photo support plus unlimited professional Aurora portraits and a 360° night-lapse video.
Edited photos are an add-on for $59 per group. This is a shared group tour with up to 14 guests per van. If conditions require long drives or timing changes, the campfire or snack may be skipped to maximize Aurora viewing time.
Standard bookings (1–8): Cancel 24+ hrs before tour for 100% refund; within 24 hrs for 50%. Large groups (9+): Cancel 48+ hrs for 100% refund; within 48 hrs for 50%. No-shows non-refundable. Late arrivals: wait up to 15 minutes, then treated as no-show.
Bring your own cold-weather gear and dress in layers. The operator may refuse service if you are not appropriately dressed for the conditions (for example, flip-flops and shorts in snowy conditions). The van stays heated, and you can ask the crew to adjust the temperature.
Expect pickup between 9:00–10:00 PM at the hotel or Airbnb address you provide, and drop-off at the same location unless you discuss a change before the tour. Pickup and drop-off are limited to Fairbanks city limits; some places with Fairbanks addresses may be outside the city.
Not always. The tour focuses on aurora chasing, so long drives or weather can affect timing. If needed to maximize viewing time, the team may skip the campfire and/or the snack.
Free pickup within 5 miles of downtown Fairbanks
