Aurora

The Aurora Borealis Lodge is a great base for viewing the lights. We watched from there three nights to increase our odds of catching the lights. We were able to keep watch the majority of the night while staying warm and Mok was a wonderful host. He enthusiastically kept us updated on forecasts, conditions, and activity. The lights were thrilling and I highly recommend the lodge.

Aurora Borealis Lodge has the best viewing and photo opt. location with a comfortable lodge to warm up while waiting for the Northern Lights. We are happy and thankful to have Mok the owner of this Aurora Borealis Lodge offers the pick up and return service in his comfortable van. We had a great time March 2025 and again in March 2026. Hope to return in 2027.

Seeing the Northern Lights was number one on our Alaska Vacation. I am so happy that we booked a stay at the Aurora Borealis Lodge. From the time that I booked and during our stay, Mok was available to help with all our questions regarding tours, rental cars, what to expect at the lodge and chalet and the Auroral Borealis. 4 of us stayed at the Logan Chalet and 2 at a room at the Cedar Lodge, all adults. I will start with the Logan Chalet. The kitchen was well equipped with all we needed to make breakfast, lunch and dinner. Besides pots, pans, bowls, utensils, coffeemakers, electric kettle there were also spices, coffee, salt and pepper etc. A full-size stove and refrigerator were also there. The lodge was clean, warm, cozy and roomy. It was one bedroom with loft and one full bath, with kitchen, dining table and living room all together. You were also able to cook at the Cedar Lodge, but we all came together for our meals at the Chalet. Now for the northern lights, we could join Mok and his tour at the Auroral Borealis (AB) viewing lodge. The room had several large north facing windows from which you could see the Borealis in all its glory. And if you were interested, you could step outside onto the deck and have nothing between you and the night sky. While we were there it was -25 degrees, so it was wonderful that we had a choice. The Cedar Lodge also had a large window to see the northern lights from your room. At the Chalet we needed to walk outside and climb up onto a platform to be high enough for an unobstructed view of the lights. I am less hardy and I preferred going to the AB Lodge. The scenery in and around the property was beautiful, especially with all the snow and trees. Some of our adventurous ones borrowed snowshoes and sleds. They had a great time. It was perfect! Oh, and the aurora made its appearance all three nights. What an impressive sight! Our world is truly amazing.

We had a great time at the Aurora Borealis Lodge. Mok was the owner, driver, host and Northern Lights expert and he was amazing!! The cabin was beautiful and the Northern Lights were breathtaking. I highly recommend the Aurora Borealis Lodge to anyone in search of the Northern Lights!!

Fantastic experience. Mok is such a good host. He picked us up in our hotel in Fairbanks and provided cookies and warm drinks and gave tips for taking great pictures. The lodge is absolutely fantastic for Aurora watching.
