Discover the fabled Arctic Circle in search of the Northern Lights

Come join the search for the elusive Northern Lights with this evening tour out of Fairbanks. After reaching and crossing the Arctic Circle and receiving your crossing certificate, you and your group will start driving along the famous Alaskan Pipeline, learning about its history on the way.

Enjoy a brief stop at the Yukon River Bridge, and even stroll along the bank of the river! As you continue onto Finger Mountain, you will walk the informative half-mile loop and overlook the Katnuti Flats.

As the night gets darker, it's time to start searching for the elusive Northern Lights.

Please note: This is an overnight tour that returns at dawn. There will be several opportunities for bathroom breaks along the way. This is a very rural area and some facilities may be outhouse-style.

Gavin was an incredible guide. We really enjoyed this tour. Because of all the clouds we were not expecting to see the Northern Lights, but Gavin spotted a break in the clouds and we caught a brief glimpse of the lights. Also, thanks for providing a gluten free meal option. It was delicious.
