About

We will pick you up at your Fairbanks area hotel. Exact pick up time will be e-mailed to you after you make your reservation, but it will be between 9:35pm-10:05pm, depending upon your hotel location and that night's schedule. The exact pick up time will be texted to you on the afternoon of your tour. After an approximately 30-minute drive north into the hills of Cleary Summit, you will get to relax in the warmth of the lodge while you check for the aurora out the big northside windows. Once the lights are out, you'll want to step outside onto the large deck to soak in the view. And if you get cold, just go back in and help yourself to a cup of hot coffee, tea, or cocoa, available self-serve. Indoor restrooms. You will then leave the lodge at 2:00am, and we will take you back to your hotel.

Please Note: Prices vary based on pickup location.

Please Note: A 2 person minimum is required for this trip, solo travelers please email us. If other people book on the same day as your solo trip, we will refund you the price of the second seat.
