From unique wildlife, remote, pristine landscapes, a history of exploration and the chance to view the Northern Lights, the Arctic Circle as experienced from Alaska has much to offer, and there is no better way to see it than by guided tour from Fairbanks!

Travelling along Dalton Highway – one of the northernmost roads in the world and no stranger to rugged conditions – after picking you up from your hotel, your guided van tour will make its way from Fairbanks to the Arctic Circle. Along the way, the tour will make multiple stops to observe and learn about the Trans Alaska Pipeline, marvel at the Yukon River, stroll around Finger Mountain, and take in the stunning scenery and wildlife around you. You might even get to see moose, bears, caribou and wolves if you are lucky!

Once you reach the Arctic Circle signpost, you will get your photo taken with a certificate proving that you made it all the way to this very special place – a wonderful way to memorialise your trip to Alaska and the Arctic Circle! Then, you will go on a guided walking tour around the area to experience the beautiful landscape by foot. Your guide will talk to you about the history and indigenous culture of the Arctic Circle, and you will also get to enjoy a snack and beverage along the way. Once it is time to make your way back to Fairbanks, there will still be breaks along the way, including a pit stop at Yukon River Camp to pick up something to eat, and then the Hilltop Restaurant and Marketplace for some delectable pies and souvenirs!

Between September to the beginning of April, the tour will change course slightly by picking guests up later in the day in order to accommodate a night drive back to Fairbanks, during which you will be awestruck by the Northern Lights above! You’ll have several opportunities to stop and take photos of this marvellous phenomenon until you arrive back in Fairbanks at dawn.
