Fabulous Personalized Touch - Gina is the best! She never rushed us and made sure we had plenty of time for touring the Ice Museum, dinner, and a swim in the hot springs. Afterwards, she was an expert in driving to remote, secluded spots to see the aurora. She was very attentive…and fun! You won’t find a better guide…professional, enthusiastic, and caring!

Excellent!!! - Regina from AK bucket list arranged the tour . Her group was filled up. She went out of her way to make arrangements for us with other group. Not only she made arrangements she followed after that to make sure that we were all taken care of. Only a caring person would do that. I would wholeheartedly recommend her and her company any day.

Amazing - Loved the tour with Gina. She picked us up at our house, made sure we saw a moose, and was very informative. Very helpful at the springs, then on the way home found the perfect place at the perfect time for thedancing northern lights!!! So glad we didnt have to drive to Chena Hot Springs too, on that long icy road. Would totally do it again. Loved Gina!! AK bucket list tours.

Fabulous experience! - Gina at AK Bucketlist, provided for us that perfect experience! She and her tour guy friends chased the most amazing Auroras which was directly overhead. It was beyond my every expectation! How awesome. We enjoyed Chana hot springs, what a unique experience. Frozen hair and hot water over 100 degrees. The only thing that could have improved the experience would have been a nice glass of wine. Thought enjoyed.it. Gina was awesome!
