Arctic Circle Tours

Surprisingly beautiful and yet undeniably wild, the Arctic is a reminder that much of Alaska is still vast, wild, and untouched.

The Arctic Circle Drive Adventure begins on the road from Fairbanks, winding its way into the permafrost landscape. This 380-mile roundtrip tour crosses the Arctic Circle and visits the trans-Alaska pipeline, Arctic Circle Trading Post, and mighty Yukon River as well as rural outposts Livengood and Joy.

The Arctic Circle Fly/Drive Adventure dives deep into the Arctic Circle and includes the same sightseeing as the drive adventure but returns from Coldfoot by a plane. See the Yukon River from above and maybe even caribou roaming the tundra.

Visiting Alaska in early fall? This is the perfect time to spot the Aurora Borealis, or northern lights, on the fall Arctic Circle Aurora Fly/Drive Adventure. Start with a flight to tiny Coldfoot, then embark upon a ground tour back to Fairbanks in a comfortable van, hopefully catching the aurora flicker overhead as darkness arrives. This 15-hour trip is suitable for those eager to spot the lights and see the Arctic in person. Similar northern lights tours run through the winter as well.

The city of Fairbanks is the best base camp for Arctic exploring. Stay a few days in this Interior Alaska community before or after your Arctic Circle adventure. Fairbanks has several options for accommodations, and Alaska Tour & Travel can help arrange transportation via train or rental car.
