★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 42 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $239

Review of Fairbanks Aurora Ice, a warm cabin ice fishing tour with salmon dinner and Northern Lights viewing, including price, timing, and tips.

“We joined the Aurora Ice Fishing tour at Chena Lake and it was truly an unforgettable experience. We fished comfortably inside a warm little cabin, and at the end our guide cooked the fresh-caught fish for us — it wasn’t big, but it tasted delicious! When we stepped outside, we were lucky enough to see the northern lights as well. Our tour guide was a young guy who shared lots of interesting local stories and made the whole trip fun and engaging. Highly recommend this experience if you’re visiting Fairbanks!”
