What to expect

Arctic Circle route

Travel along the Dalton Highway toward the Arctic Circle, heading into one of Alaska's most remote regions.

Features

• Route highlights include insulated vehicle travel along a highway with no cell phone coverage, where vehicles carry satellite phones for emergency communication and you experience winter temperatures that can range from 20°F to –40°F.
• Round-trip transportation are included throughout the guided tour, so transportation to and from the Arctic Circle area is arranged for you from your hotel and back again.
• During the journey you receive hot drinks, sack lunches, and disposable water bottles, which help you stay hydrated and energized as you travel through cold, remote terrain and take short walks on uneven ground.
• At the Arctic Circle you are presented with a personalized Arctic Circle certificate, which marks your crossing of the latitude and serves as a keepsake of your guided tour.

Northern Lights evening guided tour

This option focuses on northern lights viewing within the Arctic Circle region.

Features

• Time at the Arctic Circle is structured around northern lights viewing, giving you the chance to watch for aurora activity in winter conditions that can drop well below freezing.
• Northern lights viewing is included with this evening guided tour option, so your schedule and route are planned around aurora visibility during the prime season from September through March.
• While you wait outdoors for the aurora, hot drinks, sack lunches, and disposable water bottles are available from the vehicle so you can step in and out between the cold viewing area and the warmer interior.
• After your northern lights viewing, hotel pick-up and drop-off services ensure you are driven back from the Arctic region to your accommodation as part of the round-trip transportation.

Daytime scenic guided tour

This option emphasizes daylight touring within the Arctic Circle area.

Features

• In daylight you see more of the Arctic landscape, with the route giving you views of the northern environment and its snow-covered terrain while you make brief stops that involve getting in and out of vans and short walks.
• Daytime Arctic Circle touring is included with this guided option, so your schedule is built around seeing the Arctic Circle region while visibility is highest and temperatures, though still cold, are easier to manage for short outdoor segments.
• During the daytime journey, hot drinks, sack lunches, and disposable water bottles are provided so you can take breaks for simple meals and warm fluids between sections of the drive.
• Hotel pick-up and drop-off services combine with round-trip transportation to return you to your starting point after your daytime Arctic Circle touring, even if you are not using independent transportation.

Wrapping up

At the end of your chosen guided tour option, your driver completes the hotel drop-off portion of the hotel pick-up and drop-off services, returning you from the Arctic Circle region to your Fairbanks-area accommodation as part of the included round-trip transportation.
