What To Expect

Fairbanks

Chase the Aurora! This night time snowmobile tour combines the best of both worlds: snowmobiling and Aurora viewing! The Aurora Sleighers tour is operated in the beautiful Goldstream Valley located about 15 minutes North of Fairbanks and is the perfect location for unobstructed Aurora viewing! The tour runs from 10PM to 1AM and covers the best time when the Aurora is most active! Throughout the tour we will cruise beneath the night sky on the snowmobiles, and we will break along the way at multiple vantage points to view the scenery and enjoy the night sky. If the Aurora are dancing at any point during our tour we will stop, pull over, turn off the engines, and enjoy the tranquility of the peace and quiet while being amazed by the Aurora! Don’t forget to dress warm, and bring your cameras and tripods!

My friend and I had truly the best time with the Aurora Sleighers! We spent our first night in Fairbanks doing this snowmobiling tour, and got so lucky with the show of a lifetime from the northern lights. It was our first time snowmobiling and though we were anxious at first, you really end up getting the hang of it. They make stops so you can watch the lights - it’s beautiful. A recommendation - go to the bathroom before you get there. They only have an outhouse. And maybe bring some hand/feet warmers if you get cold easily. Our guides were great and very personable. We felt safe and would’ve happily done another tour if we had the time.

Had such a great experience! We had two tour guides who were super friendly and knowledgeable. This was my first time snowmobiling and I was a bit nervous at first, but ended up loving it! We stopped at two spots to see the northern lights, with the second stop being the most magical and vibrant. It is a long ride and it does get very cold at night, but it’s so worth it! Dress warm and take a nap before you go, and you’re all set!

Awesome experience, Jeremy is a rockstar guide!! Getting an Uber there and back was tricky because it was peak tourist season but it worked out for us. We went on an unforgettable tour and it was absolutely the highlight of our trip. Jeremy called us prior to the tour to let us know it would be too cloudy to see the aurora, and gave us the opportunity to reschedule. It was our last night in town so we decided to go for it and ended up being the only two at the tour. Even without the aurora it was a blast and I can't recommend the experience enough. Thanks for a fabulous time, Jeremy!!! We had an absolute blast exploring with you!
