Arctic Circle Air and Land Adventure

[kathynorth]

Has anyone taken this tour or a similar one from Fairbanks? What did you see or experience? Would you do it again if you had the chance? Is there another tour or adventure we should consider from Fairbanks that we can do in an evening after 5 pm?

These are all fairly short tours run by the local flying services. They fly to Ft. Yukon or some other village north of the Arctic Circle. You land and get a short tour of the town and then fly back again. If you have the time and money I suggest an overnight tour to Barrow, but if you just want the certificate for crossing the Arctic Circle, this is a good option.

I flew in during the day and enjoyed my small town tour plus a sandwich lunch. some peopel flew at night and had better weather. that is a hit/miss thing.

Hmmm, maybe we should skip this one. I'm trying to find a reasonable glacier landing where we can do a short walk around, see crevasses, blue ice, etc. We can probably do this in Skagway. Thank you for your input!
