This full-day, guided bus tour lasts about 16 hours and travels from Fairbanks along the Dalton Highway into Alaska’s Arctic region during winter. The journey includes stops at key locations such as the Yukon River and the Arctic Circle Monument at Milepost 115, about 200 miles north of Fairbanks. Guests will see the Trans Alaska Pipeline along the route and explore the arctic tundra up close. The tour is led by a professional driver/guide who provides live commentary throughout the trip. Stops include the Arctic Circle Trading Post to learn about early homesteading, and the Yukon River Camp, where guests can eat if they bring their own food or purchase meals on site. The tour includes time to explore the banks of the Yukon River. At the Arctic Circle marker, guests receive an official Arctic Circle Adventure Certificate. The tour does not travel all the way to Coldfoot but covers a substantial portion of the Dalton Highway. The longest distance between stops is about two hours, with most stops closer together and equipped with outhouses. The tour is not designed for aurora viewing and returns to Fairbanks before late night hours. A separate aurora-focused tour is recommended for those wishing to see the northern lights.
