Winter Season: Arctic Circle Northern Lights Driving Adventure

Tour Overview

This day tour from Fairbanks in the winter transports you on a guided road trip up the Dalton Highway into the Alaskan Arctic. As you depart Fairbanks, you drive alongside the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. Then, walking on the Arctic tundra will give you a sense of the vast scale of Alaska’s Arctic Region. You’ll then drive all the way north to the Arctic Circle and receive an official Arctic Circle Certificate. On the way back to Fairbanks, marvel at the scenic beauty of Alaska and Canada’s famous waterway, the Yukon River. Stop in Joy Alaska at the Arctic Circle trading post to scan the darkened skies for the Northern Lights.

Please note: this Arctic Circle Northern Lights Driving Tour in the Winter returns to Fairbanks in the middle of the night (between 3:30 am and 4:30 am) in order to maximize your opportunities for viewing the Northern Lights. At least half of this tour’s duration will be spent at night looking for the Northern Lights.
