What are people saying about Fairbanks

Arctic Circle Day Tour

Luis_J, Aug 2026

Long day well worth the time

It was a great drive up to Artic Circle. With several stops along the way for restroom breaks and scenery views/picture taking. Parts of the road are a little bumpy but not as bad as we thought it would be. Traveler be aware, this is an all day tour that can take 12 + hours, but is well worth the time if the Artic Circle is on your bucket list. Our driver made the trip seem shorter than it actually was providing all sorts of information along the way.

Fairbanks Top City Highlights Tour Summer/Fall

Joy_W, Aug 2026

Fairbanks fun/education

Our guide was earnest & enthusiastic - tour ended up being even longer than promised. He clearly enjoys what he does & the interactions and showed all of us a good and educational time and we appreciate it. We were pleased to visit each site, esp. both museums (probably would have preferred less time at N. Pole & more elsewhere ... and maybe getting to visit the oil pipeline, but it was just abiut an all-day tour already). Important & enlightening exhibit at about WWII era treatment of Japanese-Americans in Univ. of Alaska Museum of the North. Small observation of guide - he said "and whatnot" multiple times - not good, as it is filler, indicating less than ideal knowledge of certain aspects.

Riverboat Discovery Tour

KIMBERLY_A, Aug 2026

A must do in Fairbanks!

It's a must do in Fairbanks! Everything was well run and organized. The gift shop and grab and go food were really nice. The restaurant looked good, but we didn't eat there. The boat ride was beautiful and the guide was informative along the way. The Athabaskan village was really interesting and the staff and guides were very knowledgeable and friendly! Nice treat on the way back was smoked salmon on crackers.

1 Day Shared Tour Arctic Circle and Aurora Viewing in Alaska

Girl’s Alaska Trip Aug. 2026

Our guide was excellent and he shared great stories along the way! He was timely for pick up and he was very informative and knowledgeable about the different point of interest stops in addition to answering all our other questions. Sad to say there was cloud cover so we were unable to see any Northern Lights but he did his best and stopped at 3 different locations to see if they were there but just not visible to the human eye! We loved this experience!

Original Arctic Circle Drive from Fairbanks

Greg_g, Aug 2026

Artic circle sign

Good trip Ezra was an excellent guide, food was ok. Lunch meat sandwich (added cost) dinner Salmon burger with sweet potato fries(added cost) be ready for rough road as dalton highway is gravel. Stopped every couple hours for a break, brought our own snacks and beverages to have while driving. About a 14 hour day round trip. Good group we travelled with good equipment would definitely recommend

Northern Lights - Aurora with FREE Photos - Arctic Night Tours

Eric_C, Apr 2026

I highly recommend this tour

Our original tour cancelled because of the weather. The guides on this tour consulted a weather map and found a place outside the cloud cover. They drove us three hours to get there. There was no guarantee we would see the lights even then, but we saw a spectacular light show that defies description. At times there were streaks and swirls and curtains of light that involved much of the sky. Our guides had great cameras and took many gorgeous photos with the lights behind my husband and me. There is no extra charge for the photos. The guides are really lovely people and even brought snacks and water for us. I highly recommend this tour!

Aurora Glass House – Northern Lights and Photos at Cleary Summit

Angela_H, Apr 2026

Warm, Comfortable, and Truly Memorable Aurora Experience

Our tour guide, Michael, was prompt, friendly, and very helpful, especially when it came to taking photos for us. The glass viewing house itself is new, spotless, and beautifully warm — a huge advantage in the cold. What really stood out was the flexibility: we could relax inside with clear, panoramic visibility, then step outside instantly when the lights started dancing more intensely. That balance of comfort and immersion made all the difference. Experiencing something this magical without battling the cold allowed us to fully take it in. We left feeling both amazed and grateful — it’s a night we won’t forget. Thank you, Michael!

Pamela_O, Apr 2026

Amazing tour! Best chance to see the Northern lights with photos!!

These guys are experts!! They took us to a great place for viewing the Northern lights near Birch Lake. They took professional photos, and provided several heated areas to hang out to warm up when it got too cold. We would not have been able to see the Northern lights as vividly or at all without this tour. We tried. We highly recommend this tour!!! I also wanted to say that we had a lot of trouble making it to our tour due to mechanical issues with our first airplane, leading us to be re-routed through Portland and Anchorage. Nicole was absolutely wonderful about working with us to help us join the tour. It also happened to be the best viewing during our entire stay. We are very thankful. This tour was wonderful and the guides are nice people.

Spectacular Hot Spring Experience with Northern Lights

Jeffrey_R, Mar 2026

Thanks Chris!!

Chris was a great guide! He seems like a very caring person to everyone around him. He was very informative about Alaskan culture, Alaskan flora/fauna, the auroras, the museum, and especially about food. He also had a great attitude and sense of humor. We loved hearing his stories. Thanks again Chris for taking us on the tour!

Arctic Circle Day Tour Adventure

james_w, Mar 2026

Amazing Artic Experience

It was a great tour with a fantastic guide. It was a very scenic ride with multiple stops. We got to see the Alaska pipeline. Our driver and guide, Cody, was very personable, friendly, and accommodating. Getting to go to the Artic Circle was an amazing experience. We were able to see 2 moose and a bunch of ptarmigans. This tour was well worth it!!

Northern Lights & Chena Hot Springs Tour

Chriselda_D, Mar 2026

Our tour guide, Blake,...

Our tour guide, Blake, was fantastic! He is incredibly knowledgeable about the Fairbanks area and knew exactly where to find the best aurora viewing spots. The van was comfortable, and we felt very safe with his driving throughout the night. Chena Hot Springs was a highlight—the Ice Museum is a neat stop, and dinner at the restaurant was delicious. Soaking in the hot springs is an absolute must-do experience, and it’s a prime location for the lights. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Alaska!

Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis Viewing) Chasing with Photography in Fairbanks

Min_s, Mar 2026

Our Bucket List Accomplished.

Cole, Joy, David were our incredible guides. Their knowledge and photography expertise made our bucket list experience so worthwhile. They took many wonderful photos to capture this surreal and spiritual experience. They did not give up until we saw the beautiful Northern Lights. Worth every penny. We couldn't have accomplished this in our own. Highly Recommended.
