Arctic Circle & Northern Lights - Dalton Highway Winter Tour

$349
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

Journey north from Fairbanks along the Dalton Highway, one of the most remote and northerly roads accessible by vehicle, to the Arctic Circle. You’ll spend the day moving deeper into Alaska’s far north as forest thins and the landscape opens into wide valleys and tundra.

We make several scenic stops at viewpoints for photos and short walks throughout the day, including time at the Arctic Circle sign (66°33′N).

On the return, the late-night drive is timed for prime aurora viewing hours, with a chance to see the northern lights. Your guide uses real-time aurora forecasts to choose the best stops and timing.

This is primarily a road-based experience with short, easy walks and ongoing commentary from your knowledgeable Alaskan guide.

Groups are limited to 6 guests in a new 11-passenger van fully equipped for Arctic conditions, with guaranteed window seats, an unhurried pace, regular breaks, and flexibility, plus snacks, water, and hot drinks.
