Overview
Experience one of the best Northern Lights viewing locations near Fairbanks on this nighttime tour to Murphy Dome. Once an active U.S. Air Force General Surveillance Radar Station, Murphy Dome (elevation 2,930 feet / 893 meters) now offers incredible, wide-open views of the Alaskan sky. Leave the city lights behind as you travel in a spacious, comfortable van, heading northwest of Fairbanks into prime aurora country. From this high vantage point, enjoy a sweeping 360-degree panorama, perfect for watching the aurora borealis dance across the sky (sightings not guaranteed). Capture stunning photos of the Northern Lights and create unforgettable memories on this small-group Fairbanks aurora tour. Hotel pickups begin at 10:00 p.m. for a hassle-free Northern Lights experience. PLEASE NOTE that visibility of the northern lights (aurora) is not guaranteed. It is a natural phenomenon we have no control over and no refunds will be given if the aurora cannot be seen.
