Tour overview:
Fly from Fairbanks to enjoy a northern lights winter tour with a small group into Alaska’s Arctic region by air and land. Land in Coldfoot, originally a mining camp but perhaps now more well known from Ice Road Truckers. Take a walk on the arctic tundra and prepare for your bus tour south which will give you a sense of the vast scale of Alaska’s polar regions. Then return to Fairbanks with a road trip along the rugged Dalton Highway. Along the way, you will see and learn about Northland’s most famous waterway, the Yukon River, and the remarkable Trans-Alaska Pipeline. Stop along the Arctic Circle and receive an official certificate. Once the sky darkens, stop in Joy, Alaska, at the Arctic Circle Trading Post to scan the northern sky for the aurora borealis (northern lights).

Note: The tour departs from the East ramp of the Fairbanks airport. At least half the time will be in the dark looking for the northern lights. Aurora viewing is dependent on weather and aurora activity.
