Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the Arctic Circle Winter Drive Adventure?

A: Definitely layer up! You'll want thermal underclothes, a warm insulated jacket, and waterproof pants. Don’t forget a good pair of gloves, a warm hat, and insulated boots. It can get pretty cold, especially when you're out in the tundra, so being prepared is key. Also, bring sunglasses for the glare from the snow!

Q: Is this adventure suitable for kids? What age range do you recommend?

A: It's great for kids, but I’d recommend ages 8 and up. They’ll enjoy the scenic drive and learning about the pipeline and the Yukon River. Just make sure they can handle the cold and the travel time since it can be a long day. Some kids might find it tough to stay entertained for a couple of hours between stops.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather is really bad, the tour may be canceled for safety reasons, but they'll usually give you the option to reschedule. It's best to check their policy before booking. You can also call them for the most up-to-date info on weather conditions. Just keep in mind that winter weather in Alaska can change quickly!

Just booked the Arctic Circle Winter Drive Adventure!

I’m so excited! I just booked the Arctic Circle Winter Drive Adventure for my boyfriend’s birthday. We’re leaving from Fairbanks and I heard the scenery is just breathtaking. I’m a bit nervous about the cold though. Any tips on what to bring besides warm clothes? Hoping we get a good view of the Yukon River!

Has anyone done the Arctic Circle Drive? Need advice!

Looking into booking the Arctic Circle Winter Drive Adventure for next month! I’ve seen pictures and it looks epic. But I wanna know if the stops are worth it. Like, how often do they stop, and are there any good photo ops? Also, is it really dark out there? Would love to hear from folks who’ve gone!
