Head to an aurora photo spot
with a photographer guide
After pickup at your accommodation in the Fairbanks area, ride about 1 hour in a 15-passenger van. Depending on cloud cover, the guide chooses one of several viewing spots 15–40 miles (about 24–64 km) from Fairbanks, and you enjoy a scenic drive through the Fairbanks North Star area on the way.
Enjoy stone-oven pizza in a heated shelter

At the viewing spot, the guide sets up a heated shelter with seating. Even when it is -20°F outside, the shelter warms up to as much as 85°F. Enjoy a dinner of gourmet pizza fresh from a stone oven for about 45 minutes, along with hot cocoa, coffee, hot cider, or chai tea.
