Full description

Experience the beauty and wild side of Alaska. Yanking on their lines and ready to run, your dog team will be anxious to carry you away from your Fairbanks accommodation to this spectacular viewing of the Northern Lights.  Most of the sled ride takes place in an open area so should the Aurora begin early you will have a thrilling view of the sky from the dog sled. The Aurora Borealis is one of the planet's most breathtaking phenomena. In Alaska, a land that stays dark for most of the winter, these spectacular lights bring the sky to life with other-worldly colors that shimmer and dance across the sky. The yurt is only a short drive from Fairbanks but far from the obstructing glare of city lights. Be treated to a hearty midnight dinner in an off-the-grid yurt.  Stay warm with a late salmon dinner and lively conversation in the comfort of your yurt while waiting for the Aurora. The large north-facing windows of your yurt offer the perfect Aurora viewing opportunity. However, should you decide to go outside for photographs or a full view of the sky, you will need to dress in warm layers.

We were able to sled and also see the northern lights, so the boxes were checked and we were happy. I think we had a different idea going into it, though. We didn’t expect to be split up and grouped with three other people per sled, and the timing doesn’t lend itself to sledding under the lights. There’s a somewhat rushed sledding experience before you then wait / eat for a few hours as the lights begin to come out. We had a great time, and again, maybe my expectation was different than that of others.

Absolutely overall excellent experience!! The guide and the dog mushers were friendly and knowledgeable! The cooking staff made a wonderful salmon dinner and the appetizers she made were So good!! My husband doesn’t eat fish so she made him pasta which he loved. On top of the this we experienced the most amazing and beautiful Aurora!! 🤩 Would so much recommend this experience!

We were transported to the dog sledding property and got to meet the dogs. Riding in a sled through the woods at night was amazing. We were met with a salmon dinner upon return and blessed with hours of Aurora watching. It was freezing cold, but the memories and new friends made were worth it!
