My name is Michael Schultz and I am a professional photographer and videographer based in Alaska. With a fervency for nature, I have devoted years in traveling and exploring some of the best wonders that nature has to offer. Through my work, I am able to seize and distribute these amazing experiences with others.
Being an Alaskan native, I take immense pleasure to present the natural beauty of my homeland to visitors from all over the world. This is the reason I created Face The Outdoors, a brand with an unwavering commitment to make Alaska’s stunning wilderness accessible to all. Our Aurora Viewing Lodge located well outside of Fairbanks, offers a very comfortable and exclusive setting for experiencing the awe-inspiring Northern Lights.
Growing up in Alaska, the northern lights have always been a part of my life. From childhood, I’ve watched them dance across the vast, dark skies-no crowds, no long waits in cold vans, just the raw beauty of the aurora in its purest form. Over time, I’ve realized how fortunate I am to experience the northern lights like this, and it inspired us to share that authenticity with others.
That’s why we decided to open our home to guests, offering an intimate, Alaskan experience that takes you away from the overcrowded lodges and long, uncomfortable hours spent sitting along the road. Here, you’ll experience the northern lights just as we do-up close, with comfort, warmth, and a real connection to the land we call home.
We believe in quality over quantity. Our small, personal tours ensure you get the attention and experience you deserve, without the distractions of large groups or rushed schedules. This is more than just a tour-it’s our passion, our home, and our way of sharing the magic of Alaska with others. We’re not just showing you the northern lights; we’re inviting you into our world.
Whether you are an experienced adventurer or simply seeking a peaceful escape from the hustle-bustle of everyday life, our lodge proposes a unique and unforgettable experience. To book a tour or learn more about our offerings, please explore our northern lights tours or contact us directly. We sincerely look forward to hearing from you.
