Fairbanks Alaska Tours

The second largest city in Alaska, Fairbanks has a lot to offer vacationers seeking gorgeous scenery and unforgettable adventure. There are all kinds of Fairbanks Alaska tours that can take you on a journey through this amazing area. Located only 125 miles from the Arctic Circle, Fairbanks is the northernmost U.S. city. One interesting fact about this city is its unique climate. In the heart of the summer, there can be up to 20 hours of daylight with temperatures in the 80s. In winter, only four hours of daylight make an appearance, leaving the city shrouded in icy darkness.


If you want to explore Fairbanks, one way to do so is on a cruise down the Chena River. Because gold mining plays such a large role in the history and culture of the city, there are also a variety of tours focused around this subject. Walk in the footsteps of the first miners and learn more about the history of the gold mining industry in this city. For those who want something truly thrilling there are Artic Circle tours by air. For five hours you will enjoy a guided tour showcasing such areas as the Brooks Mountain range and the Yukon River Valley.

You might also want to take a motorcoach tour through Fairbanks. On this type of tour you will travel in air-conditioned comfort for approximately three hours. Your driver guide will take you through the downtown area of the city. Here you'll get to visit Pioneer Park, the University of Alaska museum and the Fairbanks visitors center. A motorcoach tour like this one is ideal for travelers who don't want to fly, cruise or hike but want to see the sights and experience the rich heritage of this city.

For longer Fairbanks Alaska tours check out some of the three day plane and motorcoach tours to Prudhoe Bay. These tours start and end in Fairbanks and you have the choice of going north or south. They are ideal for the traveler who wants to get a taste of adventure and see more of the incredible scenery and wildlife. You might even want to consider visiting Fairbanks first, then heading south to Anchorage for sightseeing. From there you could take a plane back home or even a cruise ship from Seward harbor. As you can see there are ample choices available for anyone planning a getaway to Alaska.
