Fairbanks Aurora Photography Experience
Overview
Not all Northern Lights tours are the same.
At Champion Skyes Adventures, we've created an aurora experience that is comfortable, personal, and focused on helping you appreciate one of nature's greatest displays. Instead of standing in the cold for hours, guests can relax in our heated lodge with complimentary refreshments, indoor seating, and restroom access while remaining just steps from the viewing area.
Our guides explain what causes the aurora, why it changes shape and color, and why Alaska is one of the best places on Earth to see it. When the lights appear, step outside to enjoy the show, gather around the fire, and capture the moment. Complimentary aurora portraits are included when conditions allow.
Experience the Northern Lights in comfort while creating memories that will last a lifetime.

What To Expect
Experience the northern lights in a way that’s comfortable, relaxed, and truly memorable. Instead of spending your night driving around searching for clear skies, you’ll settle into a warm, welcoming lodge and step outside whenever the aurora begins to dance overhead.
Enjoy light refreshments as you wait, and take in the quiet beauty of Alaska’s night sky. Your guide will be there throughout the experience, watching the sky with you and sharing insights about the aurora so you can better understand what you’re seeing—not just witness it.
When the lights appear, you’ll have the freedom to step outside into open skies and fully take it in. We’ll also capture complimentary photos of you under the aurora, so you leave with more than just a memory—you leave with something you can hold onto.
This is a simple, stress-free way to experience one of nature’s greatest displays, designed to be personal, comfortable, and unforgettable from start to finish.
