Borealis Basecamp

反正整個阿拉斯加消費都不便宜。除去不考慮錢的問題，其他都OK

The location is a getaway - you should plan to stay the entire time and not return to Fairbanks for activities Do those before or after your stay here. There's plenty of activity options for you to choose from here either already as part of your vacation package or as add-ons. There were also more food options than I thought, besides the Latitude 65 restaurant which serves the included breakfast every morning and also is an option for lunch and dinner, you could also grab drinks and food at the pub, and there is a cafe where the activity center is from morning to lunch and they have espresso drinks. The beds are cozy. Plenty of hot water, igloos are warm enough. The heaters right under the bed so no need to pack heavy duty sleepwear you'll be warm enough in the heated igloo and the comforter. They let you know to keep the bathroom door closed so that you don't steam up your igloo from the shower, but I wish they would also tell everyone to keep their lights off or just the dresser lights at the main lights at night when the Aurora is appearing. They do offer an aurora alarm, but sometimes it would not sound until the strongest part might have already started, so do yourself a favor and keep your eyes on the sky yourself - it comes in waves all night if it does appear and the skies remain clear. The main attraction is star and Aurora gazing which is an all-night activity so you'll want to rest during the day so don't overschedule yourself. And please try to keep your lights off at night! Tip: Bring a USB hub or power strip because there are limited outlets in the igloo. You will also want to bring some tape to cover any light though if you want to take photos from inside the igloo of the stars or Aurora

My wife and I had Borealis Basecamp and Flight reservations when Storm ENZO stranded us in Hilton Head, South Carolina. We wrote three emails requesting the management of Basecamp to either delay our arrival or cancel the trip and reschedule for later in 2025. The reason for the delay was that the nearest airport, the Savannah Airport, was closed for two days and limited flights on the afternoon on the third day. Management refused to move our arrival the three nights we requested and stated flately if we did not show up, our full deposit and total cost would be forefited (over $4,500). This once in a 100- year ice and snow storm with sub freezing temperatures had no impact on them. They finally agreed to move our arrival back one day, but we would have to move igloos. We had to reschedule our flights to fly out of Charleston, SC, a 110 mile drive. After we arrived, our first night there was no Aurora to see because of clouds. The second night we were awakened in our igloo by the inroom alarm and we saw the beautiful Aurora. We then had to change igloos for our third night. The Aurora was out, but we were not awakened for the sighting. It tuns out that an employee walks on paths next to the Igloos and points an electrical "shot" towards an electrical alarm in your Igloo which is supposed to awaken you. One night we were awakened- the second night we were not! The employee has no feedback as to whether the room alarm was triggered or not. We made some friends who shared their pictures with us for this third night; however, they informed us that the night after our checkout, they experienced the same malfunction, the alarm never went off although the staff said they shot the electrical charge towards their Igloo. BEWARE! They need to develop a better wake up process. On a posivtive side, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was average at best and overpriced. The menu never changed.
