“Great value for this experience! I went snorkeling with manatees on Dec. 1 and we saw TONS that day! It also happened to be overcast which is a good thing. A few of the manatees were playful. My guide Maleah was attentive and also reassuring that I was behaving and positioned safely around the manatees. Truly loved it! If I'm back in the area, I would go again!”

Northern Lights Aurora Tour with FREE Photography

11.Northern Lights Aurora Tour with FREE Photography

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 486 reviews · 8 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $210

Meet Arctic Night Tours at 8 pm for an 8 to 12 hour aurora chase from Fairbanks. Guides such as Elena and Ed track clouds and activity, driving to dark viewing spots while two cameras capture your night. Bring serious cold-weather gear, since the van is warm but the viewing is outdoors.

“This was an incredible Aurora experience!! We ended up about an hour north of Fairbanks in the mountains and the Aurora was spectacular! It took a few hours to come out in full force but even the view of only the stars is incredible from that far outside the city. It was insanely cold (-36 degrees) so make sure to dress warm but it is definitely one of the best experiences I have ever been on.”

12.Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis Viewing) Chasing with Photography in Fairbanks

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 481 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $189

David and the Alaska Journey Tours team drive you through rural Fairbanks in search of the aurora, changing locations as clouds and activity shift. You get hotel pickup, a warm vehicle, a small-group setting, and free JPG photos, but no restroom, chairs, blankets, or guaranteed sighting.

“The experience didn't happen. The sky was completely overcast with periodic rain. The company called and suggested cancelling -- although they said they'd do the tour if we wanted or we could move it to another day. We didn't have another free day and attempting to do the tour was pointless, so we cancelled. AND THEY CHARGED US 20% FOR CANCELLING! Rip-off!”
