Not all Northern Lights tours are the same. At Champion Skyes Adventures, we've created an aurora experience that is comfortable, personal, and focused on helping you appreciate one of nature's greatest displays. Instead of standing in the cold for hours, guests can relax in our heated lodge with complimentary refreshments, indoor seating, and restroom access while remaining just steps from the viewing area. Our guides explain what causes the aurora, why it changes shape and color, and why Alaska is one of the best places on Earth to see it. When the lights appear, step outside to enjoy the show, gather around the fire, and capture the moment. Complimentary aurora portraits are included when conditions allow. Experience the Northern Lights in comfort while creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Couldn't have asked for more nor better. Kendell was AWESOME! VERY informative and knowledgeable. Learned all about the Auroras and the planets. The pictures her took were AMAZING. The lodge was AWESOME! Beautiful, very clean, had drinks n snacks, games, pool table, definitely recommend to everyone. Definitely a 10 out of 10 stars.
Highlight event of our whole vacation! Aurora and astronomy viewing at Champion Skyes is an absolutely amazing experience! Kendall is an exceptional photographer, host, and entertainer. The location is phenomenal for full horizon view of the sky. We did this on our last night of our Fairbanks vacation and can't wait to come back! Kendall took photos of my family under the aurora, explained each of the constellations, played various games with us when we went indoors to warm up, and graciously built a campfire for us and told stories. We were lucky to view multiple coronal auroras. Check out his Instagram page to see them!
when the tour began everything was perfect he had snacks and a fire outside it was so cozy our guide clearly loved his job and took pride in sharing the science and his jokes behind the northern lights. His passion made the entire experience more memorable.He didn’t just lead the group he made us feel part of something special like we weren’t just another tour for the night he was helping us set up our cameras for the perfect shot and took free photos for us (they turned out awesome) while we waited for the lights to appear his excitement never faded, he had bored games that me and my dad played while the others slept while we waited! It was clear that he wasn’t just doing a job he was living his dream.
We had an absolutely incredible experience at Champion Skyes Adventures and Tours on New Year’s Eve! From the moment we arrived, Kendall—the owner—was extremely welcoming, friendly, and genuinely hospitable. He made us feel right at home and truly went above and beyond to make the night special. We spent the evening stargazing, were lucky enough to see the aurora, and relaxed by the fire pit, which made for an unforgettable and cozy experience. Kendall even took our picture with the aurora using his professional camera, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning—something we’ll treasure forever. The facility was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly set up for guests. You can really tell how much care and passion Kendall has put into building this business. Champion Skyes Adventures and Tours is a fantastic new venture, and it is well worth the cost for such a unique, high-quality experience. We can’t recommend it enough!
I had such a great experience here! Kendall is an amazing guide and we were even able to see the northern lights! What a great trip!!!
