Fairbanks Arctic Tours
Witness the vast wilderness north of the Arctic Circle and the fascinating cultures who call this region home by adding an Arctic tour to your itinerary.
Fairbanks, sometimes referred to as a gateway to the Arctic, is an ideal spot to embark on a tour. It is less expensive to take a fly-in tour from Fairbanks than it is from Anchorage and you have the option to take a driving tour for a fraction of the cost of a fly-in trip. One company even offers car rentals, so you can explore the Arctic independently.
In addition to experiencing Alaska Native Culture and enjoying the tundra landscape, a tour above the Arctic Circle makes it possible to visitors to see wildlife such as migrating caribou.
