This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
The trip lasted 14 hours, and during that time we saw so many incredible sights — the Alaska Pipeline, Dalton Highway, Yukon River, the Arctic Circle, and most importantly, the Northern Lights! We were lucky to see them in several locations. Shannon worked so hard to find the best spots for us to capture the aurora, and she’s also a great photographer — she took amazing photos of us throughout the trip.
Embark on an unforgettable adventure from Fairbanks to the Arctic Circle, traveling one of the world’s most remote roads through Alaska’s breathtaking wilderness. With an expert local guide leading the way, you’ll explore stunning natural landmarks, learn about the iconic Trans-Alaska Pipeline, & witness the magic of the Northern Lights. This 12 to 14-hour guided tour offers an immersive small-group experience in the comfort of a climate-controlled van. Along the way, enjoy storytelling, scenic stops, & a deeper connection to the untamed beauty of Alaska.
