Everyone has their own reasons for taking a trip to Alaska. For some it's wanting to experience “true” winter for the first time, for others it’s the desire to return to the magical place of a never-ending frosty fairytale that keeps on amazing.
Be it as it may, one thing ties all these people together, and that is a feeling of trueborn happiness that arises from simply looking at the distant landscapes that stun you with their depth and flavor and realizing that the world is a magnificent place full of surprises.
Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise
You can get a perfect introduction to the world of Alaska and its unspoken rules of nature by going on a cruise that will take you around the Kenai Fjord National Park which starts its sailing journey in Seward.
On your trip, you will get to see the area untouched by humans of the Northwestern Fjords and how the animal life there continues to blossom on its own terms. As you sail close past the shore, you will have a chance to gaze at the beautiful coastal forests and glaciers that are the bread and butter of Alaska.
Rest your legs and indulge in the fabulous landscapes from the comfort of the cruise deck and familiarise yourself with Alaska’s native flora and fauna.

Chena Hot Springs
Been exploring all day long and feel the cold deep in your bones? This is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the Chena Hot Spring Resort that is located 56-miles from Fairbanks.
The natural hot springs contain a high amount of silica in the water, which helps with softening your skin, plus the mineral content of sulfur springs interacts with the chemical found in your outer skin layers that helps skin conditions like acne. Besides serving as a great skin detox method that doesn’t take a toll on your body, it is sure to warm you up and help you feel cozy before a good night’s sleep after a day of Alaskan discoveries!

Dog Sledding Full-Day Tour
Amongst many fun things to do in Alaska, dog sledding, for many first-time travelers, takes the cake. After being taught in training how to mush the rails, you will be given the opportunity to put your newly learned skill to use and ride along a 10 kilometer “mini-expedition” trail. Riding in a dog-sled team of a lead musher and tail musher will ensure your safety during the ride and surround you with even more beautiful Alaskan huskies to admire.
After you arrive at your destination you can thank the huskies by interacting with them. Everyone knows them for their playfulness and affectionate personality, so perhaps just a pat won't be enough.

Northern lights are a phenomenon that is easily explained by science, however, leaves an unexplainable feeling of happiness and warmth within the observer. The beauty of northern lights in the starry sky at night is one of the greatest spectacles able to be observed from Earth. Of all northern lights viewing locations scattered throughout the state, arguably the best place to see northern lights in Alaska is in Fairbanks.
From August 21 to April 21 the night sky begins the colourful dance after around 10pm and can take up to 4 hours to cover the sky in green and blue hues. Find a vast flat terrain ideally surrounded by trees to prevent the harsh wind blows from distracting you from the show above and get ready to experience Alaskan natural beauty in all its glory.

Why do we see northern lights?
Electrically charged particles emitted from the sun’s surface during solar storms that travel towards the Earth, when reaching our magnetic field are carried towards the north and south poles where they release energy which can be seen in the sky.
