Face the Outdoors operates from Delta Junction, Alaska, offering guided aurora experiences focused on small-group comfort, photography, and remote-lodge settings.
The company runs two primary trips: the Fairbanks Northern Lights Tour and the Private Northern Lights Experience. Both trips emphasize escape from light pollution, expert local guidance, and opportunities to capture high-quality photographs of the aurora borealis.
Face the Outdoors books small groups for the Fairbanks Northern Lights Tour to maintain an intimate atmosphere and provide personalized instruction. Tours travel to a remote lodge outside urban light to maximize viewing conditions. The itinerary includes on-site coaching in camera settings, composition, and timing so participants can make the most of clear-sky opportunities.
The Private Northern Lights Experience is designed for private groups seeking exclusive use of the lodge and dedicated attention from a local Alaskan guide. This option offers flexible scheduling, tailored photography support, and privacy for families, couples, or small friend groups wanting a secluded aurora viewing.
Safety, weather awareness, and local knowledge inform each outing. Guides monitor aurora forecasts and road conditions and select viewing locations that prioritize visibility and guest comfort. Face the Outdoors emphasizes respectful use of remote lodges and adherence to local regulations.
Prospective visitors can expect clear descriptions of trip formats, photography guidance, and options for private bookings. The business focuses on delivering memorable aurora viewing with an emphasis on comfort, exclusivity, and practical photographic support.
