Northern Lights and Arctic Circle Tour
You will be picked up from your Fairbanks hotel and will travel to the legendary Arctic Circle. Stop here to take pictures and receive your 'Cross the Circle Certificate!', then drive along the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, which stretches over 800 miles (1,287 km) through Alaska. You will learn the history from its inception to its completion.
Then you will drive across the mighty Yukon River Bridge and stroll along the riverbank and gaze at the scenic landscape. You can stop and walk the 1/2-mile informative loop at Finger Mountain and look over the Kanuti Flats below you and learn about the symbiotic relationship of the environment around you (this stop is available seasonally).
Next, you will cross the Arctic Circle and enjoy a snack and a hot drink. After this, you travel back toward Fairbanks at night, looking for Lady Aurora to make her appearance in the sky above you. You will have several opportunities to take photos or simply marvel at and be mesmerized by this phenomenon. Experience the awe of the spectacular Northern Lights.
Please note: There is no guarantee the Northern Lights will be visible.
