Q&A

Q: What's the best time of year to do the Aurora Chase?

A: The best time for chasing the auroras is typically from late August to early April, with optimal viewing around the equinoxes. The cold, clear nights in Fairbanks really boost your chances! Just keep in mind that weather can be unpredictable, so having flexible dates helps a lot.

Q: Are there any age restrictions for this experience?

A: There aren't strict age restrictions for the Aurora Chase, but it's best suited for teens and adults. Younger kids might get cold and restless, especially since it can be late at night. Always check with Wandering Alaska if you're unsure about your specific group!

Q: What happens if the weather looks bad? Can we reschedule?

A: Wandering Alaska is pretty flexible with rescheduling if the weather isn't good for aurora viewing. They usually advise you to keep an eye on forecasts as your date approaches. If skies are cloudy, they’ll help you find a new time that works!

Just booked the Half Night Aurora Chase in Fairbanks!

So excited! I booked this experience for my partner’s birthday next month. We only have a few hours on our trip, so this mini chase sounds perfect. Plus, I’m really into photography, so I can't wait to learn how to capture the auroras. Has anyone done this? Any tips for first-timers?

Questions about snacks and drinks on the Aurora Chase

Does anyone know what kind of snacks they provide during the chase? I hope it’s not just granola bars! Also, are the hot drinks good? I’m a coffee snob 😅, so I’m curious!
