Aurora Oval Nightly Northern Lights Chase

Duration

5 - 8 Hours

About

This is our Custom Aurora Tour for a Full Rotation of the aurora oval.
This WAS our Full Night Aurora chase. We've edited this to reflect that this tour covers the main part of the aurora oval as it passes over Alaska, from 11pm to 3am based on current time, and based on the month and our hours of darkness in the interior.
You will get the longest tour from October through Mid March.
For an all night long aurora adventure look at our Aurora and Beyond Adventure tour.

This is an Aurora Chase to find the best view or clear skies to maximize our Aurora Oval Viewing potential.
Choose this tour if you are ALL about maximizing your time to get your best chance at viewing the lights for a full rotation of the Aurora Oval throughout a night.

Then THIS TOUR is the one for YOU!!!

Disclaimer

The Aurora Borealis is a natural phenomenon and cannot fully be predicted. We do NOT guarantee aurora sightings!
We do our best to track the live data constantly being reported by NOAA and NASA.
The aurora is visible in Fairbanks 9 out of 10 nights from August through April when it's dark outside, at night. Some shows are faint, others are great! Thick clouds are the only thing that fully prevents viewing.
This tour can be switched to a mini chase tour as weather dictates.
If the lights don't show up due to weather we will invite you back another night if our schedule and yours allows us to do so.
If we are able to do this there would be a charge for gas and mileage.

We will cancel or reschedule if the weather precludes aurora viewing.

Leaving a tip is not required.
