Experience of a Lifetime! Do it!
This was the experience of a lifetime! The igloos are very nice and warn. We were so impressed with our guide. He took care of any concern very quickly and the activity staff were fantastic. We did the 3-day package and enjoyed 1-hour UTV tour and 1 hour Alaska Sled Dog experience. The buffet breakfast included in the package was very good. They had breakfast egg and sausage biscuits, waffles, biscuits and gravy, yogurt, cereal, oatmeal fruit, milk, coffee, tea, juices.
Bucket List Experience!
This place was incredible. The igloo was cozy and spacious. It had everything we needed including tea and coffee. The staff were truly hospitable. They all seemed genuinely happy to be there. The restaurant was amazing and the sous chef was very helpful in accommodating allergies/dietary restrictions. The activities were a blast. The Aurora was phenomenal. Watching the lights dance around while you are snuggled up in bed is priceless. I would highly recommend Borealis Basecamp and will cherish all the memories I made here. This is truly a bucket list experience!!

Amazing views in Alaska
We spent two nights at Borealis Basecamp, it was a great experience and we would do it again. We stayed in one of the igloos , looking at the sky and stars from your bed is great. We were able to see the aurora both nights thanks to the staff calling and knocking on our door to let us know it was out. I would definitely recommend this as an Alaska must see and do.
