Join us as we capture Alaska in this all-inclusive 2-hour experience! Increase your chances of witnessing the Northern Lights from our prime Aurora viewing Mongolian Yurt, located outside of the city lights of Fairbanks. The layout of the property was specifically designed with the Northern Lights in mind giving us a beautiful unobstructed view of the Northern sky. Relax in our wood heated yurt and enjoy our hot cocoa bar or sip on some tea as you wait for Lady Aurora to grace us with her presence. Head out on a 1/2 hour mush through the frozen winter utopia and scout the trail at multiple vantage points to view the Northern Lights. Watch the sky dance amongst the stars as you travel through the black spruce forest, over ponds and through fields.

From: $0.00

Location: Fairbanks

Q&A

Q: Can anyone tell me how the weather affects the Aurora viewing? What if it’s cloudy?

A: The weather can definitely impact the visibility of the Northern Lights! If it’s cloudy, you might not see them, but the guides are usually pretty good at checking the forecast. They often have backup plans or let you know if you should reschedule. Just keep in mind that the further out you book, the better chance you have of picking a clear night!

Q: What should I wear for the dog sledding part? Is it super cold?

A: Definitely dress warmly! Layering is key because you’ll be outside in the cold for the dog sledding. I’d recommend thermal layers, a good winter jacket, gloves, and a warm hat. They have blankets in the yurt, but you’ll want to be comfy while you’re out sledding too.

Q: Is this a good gift for kids? What age is recommended?

A: This experience is great for families, but I’d recommend it for kids at least 8 and up. They’ll have a blast dog sledding and the whole Aurora viewing is magical! Just make sure they can handle the cold and understand the need for patience while waiting for the Lights. It’s a unique experience that kids will remember!

Just got back from the Alaskan Escape Adventure – WOW!

I just did this Alaskan Escape: Aurora Viewing & Dog Sledding thing in Fairbanks last week and it was incredible! The yurt was super cozy with all the hot cocoa you could drink, and we saw the Northern Lights after a bit of waiting. The dog sledding was such a thrill, going through the snow with a pack of happy dogs! I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a cool experience. Just make sure to dress warm!

Thinking of gifting this experience!

I’m looking to surprise my partner with this Alaskan adventure! He’s always wanted to see the Northern Lights. I’m a bit worried about weather though. If we end up not seeing them, is the experience still worth it? I love dogs and I think the sledding part will be super fun! Any advice?
