About

Experience and capture the authentic Alaskan Northern Lights with us no matter your photography skill level!

For this aurora tour, we'll travel to a remote/private location and help you come back with your very own incredible photos. Avoid the crowded uncomfortable vans, big group tours, overcrowded pullouts, overcrowded lodges, and when possible the cloudy skies. We chase the lights only when necessary, otherwise enjoy the comfort of the lodge and its amenities and most of all the northern lights!

You'll be guided by a local Alaskan native who knows the area and where to go and has grown up experiencing this natural phenomenon.

Your local guide will teach you how to set up your personal camera equipment so that you go home with excellent northern lights photos of your own. You can choose to rent one of our cameras at the time of booking if you don't have your own.

Professional aurora portrait included. (Photo package available)

You'll be picked up in our 15-passenger van where you'll enjoy the comfort and warmth while keeping an eye out for the aurora on the way.

You've invested a lot to make this dream come true. Now, book with a born and raised Alaskan familiar with the area and the aurora.

More Info

We've made sure the lodge is located in an area with dark skies and zero light pollution. This makes seeing even the faintest aurora possible with the naked eye.

Located less than 100 miles from Fairbanks, under the aurora oval a section of the earth's atmosphere where you can see the northern lights.

Need help with your camera settings? No problem. Your Alaskan guide and a professional photographer will help you with your settings. We want to make sure you get the best photos to capture your experience. Additional photos may be purchased.

Face The Outdoors offers uncrowded, unhurried, small group tours to view the aurora borealis in comfort and style at the Aurora Viewing Lodge, and we're the only viewing lodge that chases when the clouds become a factor.
