Small-group Fairbanks tour to Chena Hot Springs with Aurora Ice Museum, mineral hot springs, and guided aurora viewing with pickup.
“We planned our trip to Fairbanks in order to see the northern lights. As the time came near it was apparent that it was too cloudy. We did the chena hot springs tour and enjoyed the dinner (a bit pricey but a good value) and the ice museum was a kick. The hot spring pool was wonderful, welcoming accommodations and a large open outdoor pool, with nice atmosphere lighting (green red and blue lights). What made this excursion next level was our guide Shannon. As we returned to Fairbanks it continued to be overcast but she was determined to get us to experience the Northern lights. Twice she had found…”

Arctic Circle day tour from Fairbanks via the Dalton Highway in a small-group van, with tundra walk, pipeline sights, and a certificate.
“This was an amazing trip. We learned about the Aleyska pipeline and got to see many, many miles of it as we traveled northward on the famous Dalton Highway - and yes, it's just like it's portrayed on tv. We met firefighters from several different countries since the trip afforded us a lunch stop at an outpost. I can go on and on, but we went during the summer (late July) and it was a whopping 34 degrees. Loved, loved, loved this excursion and even the rest of group that was also on the tour. Would go again!”

Fairbanks northern lights chase with pickup, small group vibes, and included pro photography. Long cold night, great planning, real value.
“This aurora tour was absolutely outstanding. The guides are incredibly responsible, patient, and highly professional. They truly care about every guest and made sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of throughout the night. What impressed me most was their expertise in predicting the aurora. Using their own experience and proven methods, they accurately judged the timing of the aurora’s appearance—and it worked! We were able to see the northern lights beautifully. They also thoughtfully prepared snacks, water, and hand warmers for all guests, which made a huge difference in the cold. On top of that, they took professional photos for us with high-quality cameras, so we could fully...”

“David was a nice polite photographer and our van driver. Only me and my wife were in the SUV so we got plenty of time for photographers and we were really lucky to just see the Aurora right out of the gate in the first location he took us to. We decided to come back soon since we'd already gotten a glimpse of the lights throughout and we were really tired. But lucky for us we got an even brighter display of the lights on our way back and David was quick to pull over and capture them some more for us”
