What Makes It Private, What Makes It Legendary

VIP Private Transport

Your night begins in a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van — fully winterized, luxuriously outfitted, and optionally equipped with a restroom (weather permitting). With a maximum of 8 guests (or fewer for private groups), this is Aurora viewing in total comfort and style.

Dedicated Photographer

Enjoy the benefit of a personal Aurora photographer capturing your evening from start to finish. You’ll receive free portraits during the night, with optional professional edits and 360° night-lapse video upgrades available.

Flexibility & Freedom

While we travel with the group to the best weather-based locations, you’ll enjoy the freedom to break away and enjoy the night on your own terms. Retreat to your warm van, change the pace, or set your own stargazing vibe — it's your adventure.

Educational & Interactive

Our expert guides will share insights into the science of the Aurora and the unique reasons Fairbanks is one of the best places on Earth to see it.
You'll also receive hands-on camera instruction to help you capture the Lights like a pro.

Fireside Magic

Relax under the stars at our mobile lodge, with a cozy campfire, storytelling, and (weather permitting) Alaskan reindeer sausages or vegan options.

Comfort Refreshments

Enjoy complimentary hot and cold drinks all night long from our Borealis Brew Bar.
