March 13th - 20th
After hosting over 130 people in Fairbanks, I still LOVE LOVE LOVE planning future trips!
The prices for the Aurora Retreat include transportation, accommodations, and a personal driver, me. I will take you sight seeing, and to some of the local places that will really make your trip more magical then going on your own. I will also include one excursion of the groups choice!
Additionally, I offer personal assistance in planning your adventures including packing for subzero temperatures, dressing appropriately for the conditions and staying safe.
We will also head out to nightly Aurora chases, weather permitting. You’ll receive all the assistance you need to stay safe and comfortable, as well as tips for learning Dark Sky Photography. This trip is designed to be casual and fun! By the end of our journey, everyone will be friends and feel bonded through the magical moments captured only in Alaska!
While we cannot control the weather, the likelihood of witnessing the Northern Lights is historically greater in the month of March. I have intentionally selected these dates to increase the chances of seeing the lights and it is usually a bit warmer
Stay at a full-sized home North of Fairbanks with great Northern Lights views. You will have access to a full kitchen, a completely flexible schedule, and a full-time driver (me).
Our schedule will be fluid, and we will go with the flow unless adventures are arranged in advance. We'll do some local sightseeing and visit some secret spots for photography.
Based in Washington State, I work as a tour guide in Fairbanks, Alaska, from January to March. Locals call me a “seasonal local” thanks to more than 28 winter weeks spent exploring Fairbanks. I know the area’s hidden gems and can offer you an authentic Alaskan experience that’s hard to find on a self-guided trip.
I’ve gained a local perspective on Fairbanks and the northern lights, and while I’m not a space weather expert, I’m dedicated to making sure everyone has a great time. I’ll share stories, science, and photography tips about the aurora, and with small group sizes, each tour is flexible and tailored for a truly memorable night under the Alaskan sky.
Hey, I'm Aimee!
If you have a small group or a family who wants a personal guide to help you plan your trip and take you to different locations to see the Aurora, I can do that, too.
