Our driver made an extra effort to get us a view of the aurora. It was a very cloudy night but she moved around until we got a small glimpse. Overall great trip. Driver can’t control the weather.

Awesome! Was really happy to see the Aurora for so many hours! Dream come for me! Jeck our tour guide was kind. And helpful ! That viewing lodge was perfect in chasing the Borealis! Oh my! From 10:30 up to 1:45 AM we have a good sighting of the Northern lights! I think for me it’s a matter of luck plus good weather. For 2 nights in a row we saw the Northern lights. I highly recommend this tour/tour company. God is good!🥰👍✔️

Full description

Your Murphy Dome/Aurora Borealis night begins with pickup at your Fairbanks hotel in town. This tour provides you with one of the best northern lights viewing spots near Fairbanks.

One of the highest peaks in the area, Murphy Dome is the perfect location to visit and watch the night sky. Its wide open spaces away from the city lights ensure a perfect view of Alaska's winter sky. This 360-degree horizon sets the stage for a phenomenal northern lights show.

Stay warm with hot drinks and a seat in a 15-passenger van while waiting for the dancing northern lights. Join this tour for the experience of a lifetime!
