Aurora and Stargazing Tour with Photography
Overview
Step beneath Alaska’s night sky for a bucket-list evening of stargazing and Northern Lights. Explore the stars through our telescope as your guide uses a high-powered laser to point out constellations, planets, and features of the night sky—especially beautiful during different moon phases.
As the aurora begins to dance, we’ll capture complimentary photos of you beneath the Northern Lights so you can take the memory home. Gather beside a cozy bonfire, continue watching the stars, or step inside our warm lodge while waiting for the sky’s next show.
Hot cocoa, coffee, tea, cider and cookies are included, along with comfortable access to the lodge throughout the evening. Depending on the night, there may even be a little Alaskan surprise waiting for you. Whether you’re sharing the experience with someone special, family, friends, or checking the Northern Lights off your bucket list, this is a night designed for slowing down, looking up, and experiencing the magic of Alaska after dark.

What To Expect
Experience Alaska’s night sky as more than just an aurora chase. Your evening combines Northern Lights viewing, stargazing and photography for a complete Arctic night experience.
Use our telescope to explore the night sky while your guide uses a high-powered astronomy laser to point out visible stars and constellations. When the aurora appears, photography is included, so you can enjoy the moment while we help capture memories beneath the Northern Lights.
Stay comfortable with access to a warm lodge, or gather around a cozy bonfire when conditions permit. Complimentary hot cocoa, coffee, tea, cider and cookies are included.
Because the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed, we designed this experience so the entire night is memorable—not just the moment the aurora appears.
What makes us different:
• Northern Lights + dedicated stargazing experience
• Telescope and guided constellation viewing
• Aurora photography included
• Warm lodge and bonfire experience
• Hot drinks and treats included
• Small, personal atmosphere
Come for the aurora, discover the stars, and leave with memories from an unforgettable Alaska night.
