Borealis Basecamp Tent
Founded by one man who decided he wanted to share Alaska's unforgettable scenery, people and adventures with the rest of the world, the camp is miles away from a single light or other person -- a place surrounded completely by nature. The basecamp's transparent ceilinged domes are located on a north facing ridge crest at an altitude of about 1,200. The ceilings wrap around you, blending the outside and inside together, while a sixteen-foot curved window placed directly overhead provides east to north horizon sky visibility.
Experience the beauty of the Alaskan outdoors...from inside. Located just north of Fairbanks, the Borealis Basecamp is the perfect Arctic getaway, offering rugged landscapes, first class accommodations and heartfelt Alaskan service, all with the Northern Lights overhead.
Guests can lay back in bed and be entranced by the dancing northern lights before drifting off to sleep in a luxurious, cozy bed. The domes provide a surprisingly spacious interior, with a kitchenette and full bath located inside, as well as high-level amenities. Guests can enjoy local flavors with a European twist at the locally crafted thirty-foot round yurt on the basecamp. Beyond the amazing food and views, visitors can also enjoy photography, mushing, and snow machine rentals.

Reviews of Borealis Basecamp
Amazing service from booking to check in to check out; Igloos spacious and cozy atmosphere for couples, outstanding adventure center/activities. Restaurant is first class. And the auroras delivered!
What an amazing, unforgettable experience! We stayed two nights. Initially we booked through a tour company and then worked through Borealis Reservations to get more activities scheduled. They worked with us and rearranged our shuttle to be able to get all of our activities in. Every single person we encountered in our time there was kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. We were constantly asked about our thoughts and checked in on our comfort, satisfaction, and level of fun — but not in an overwhelming or aggressive way. We did the following experiences: snow machines, dog sledding, reindeer hike, and the sunset cruise. Every guide was wonderful and made us feel involved and were eager to share their love of Alaska with us. The snow machines were an absolute blast! Our guide (Travin, I may be misspelling that) realized we were very comfortable and encouraged us to go to the back of the group to allow for room to make the experience more adapted and fun for us. We were never far from the group, he always had his eyes on us, but it allowed for us to go a little faster. I highly recommend this experience! The dog sled experience was wonderful! We spent time snuggling the puppies, playing with the dogs, and learning about the sport of dog mushing. Our sled ride was about a mile out and a mile back in. We enjoyed watching the dogs doing something they obviously enjoy doing and interacting with them helped subside missing my pups back home.
