In the company of an experienced guide with a passion for Alaska, journey up the Dalton Highway, passing by the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, crossing the Yukon River, and reaching the edge of the Arctic Circle. On the drive back, watch for the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis).
This tour is limited to 9 guests to ensure that you enjoy a small-group experience in one of our climate-controlled vans.
Please note that we cannot guarantee the Northern Lights sightings and we can't guarantee last minute bookings.
We do encourage each guest to rotate seats at least a few times on this tour.

Jessica was our guide. She was fantastic and throughout the trip provided us with information about the area, wildlife, aurora etc. We made multiple stops to see the aurora. Jessica, even after changing a flat tire, remained professional, personable. Would highly recommend her as a guide.

I was so nervous about going on this trip for two primary reasons: 1 - I had never used this platform before, so I was skeptical on the legitimacy, but it's real! 2 - I had heard nightmare stories about the road (mainly the Dalton Highway) to the Arctic Circle, but the road was in way better condition then people made it out to be. Our tour guide / driver Kevin (the Fish Biologist) was amazing in every way! He ensured that we had the best possible time going and coming back. We made several stops along the way and it did not feel like 12-14 hours had went by because we had so much fun. I felt very safe under his guidance and would surely recommend this trip to anyone!

Just came back from an unbelievable, magical experience made possible by Elena and Ed of Artic Night Tours. My friends and I were getting very sad as our first 3 days in Fairbanks was overcast and cloudy. We called Artic Night Tours the night before our reserved excursion and they were very clear explaining what options we could take on the day of. Since we didn't hear from them on the day of the trip we were feeling some confidence that the trip would go as planned even if it meant seeing just a sliver of the Aurora. Elena picked us up in her comfortable cozy minivan while her husband picked up other guests in a larger caravan but we all ended up driving to the sights together which made us feel safer in numbers. We went far (past the Delta Junction) and not long after that the excitement hit us as Elena and Ed spotted the lights for us. It was like an episode of storm chasers lol, so exciting. We all jumped out of the car and were just mesmerized in awe by nature's beauty. Absolutely beautiful and amazing!!! What a memorable adventure. She drove us back to the hotel pick up (recommend the Westmark for free parking and a nice clean lobby with clean restrooms) and even gave each of us a slice of chocolate cake in a box which we enjoyed the next day. They were also quick to send us our free photos via Google drive. We watched our photos at our AirBnb while enjoying our cake...what a perfect way to end our trip to Alaska. Thank you Ed and Elena!!!

Although the weather didn't cooperate for us to see more than a hint of the the aurora, the lodge was cozy, our host was friendly, and he shared some good resources to use for the future.

We had an amazing trip to the Arctic Circle with Jessie! I would highly recommend the trip to anyone visiting Fairbanks if you have a half day to spare. The sights were once in a lifetime and the tour was well organized and really fun. We were even fortunate enough to get some great northern lights pictures since our guide knew the best spots to find them.

This is our first time visiting Fairbanks Alaska. Kevin is a great, experienced, and fantastic tour guide who gave our detailed information about Alaska, pipeline, arctic circle, and others. We enjoyed the trip.

This tour is incredible. The road is long and the road conditions are not very good, especially in winter, and there are very large trucks on the road. Unless you are fully confident in your driving skills and vehicle, it is definitely a better choice to join a tour group. The scenery on the road is very beautiful and the experience is unique. Our tour guide is also very nice. He is experienced.

Jessica was our tour guide. We couldn't have had a better one! She made it a once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget! You seldom see anyone work so hard to make sure she did the best job possible. Jessica kept us safe on the Dalton Highway, and shared interesting information about everything from the Enchanted Forest, to the auroras. Her knowledge of the area, weather, and patience paid off big time for us. We saw the northern lights 3 times in 3 different areas on the way back from the Arctic Circle!
