Fairbanks Arctic Circle tour: cross 66.5622°N, see the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and Yukon River, then chase northern lights on the midnight drive.
“The day was memorable and certainly gained insight into the ruggedness of the road and the environment. Ash was very helpful and enlightening.”
Full-day Arctic Circle adventure from Fairbanks with pipeline views, Yukon River walking, Finger Mountain trek, and a certificate at the Arctic Circle.
“The van you take is kind of loud to begin with. The day started around 730 with a trip to a gas station/restaurant to order food for breakfast or anything you might want until dinner time around 430p. The first stop was a creek or something. Nothing but walking around in a cloud of mosquitos, no scenic views, just wondering why we're stopping... Next one was about the same but had a welcome to Dalton highway sign. I'd definitely recommend mosquito repellent at least for these spots. The day picked up with a stop at one of the access points of the pipeline. That was really cool to see it…”
Fairbanks Arctic Circle full-day tour: Trans-Alaska Pipeline, Yukon River, Finger Mountain hike, Arctic Circle photo and certificate.
Full-day tour from Fairbanks with Chena Hot Springs, a guided geothermal lesson, and an Ice Museum stop with ice bar and chandeliers.
“Sadly, this trip fell far short. Guide’s commentary was not particularly informative during the hour plus drive to get there. The guide offered a folding plastic step stool to enter van that was cracked and broken to the point of being a safety concern. The van’s tire pressure alarm went off while driving and she just waved it off. Once there, the ice museum was closed due to a temperature variance, so that was a total bust (and the refund received for this was laughable). At that point, we were simply released to go find lunch (one available restaurant), visit hot springs or otherwise entertain ourselves til 5pm when she…”

“I went with my best friend it was very personal tour she was so friendly and informative, she really knows what she is doing a they take care of the dog amazingly with love and respect! I will definitely will do it again”
Full-day guided fishing on the Chena River from Fairbanks with hotel pickup, small-group coaching, and a scenic 7-hour float.
“We are giving only 3 stars because this trip wasn’t what we expected for an 8 hour day of fishing. Firstly, it is catch and release, so nothing to take home after fishing all day. Secondly, it is advertised as lunch is provided, but it was basically a child’s size lunchable and one bottle of water-this would have been fine for a half day trip, but not all day. That being said, our guide Caleb was great! Knowledgeable and very personable. We enjoyed having him as our guide and the scenery was beautiful as well. These trips would be much better if you were able to take fish home with…”
