Fantastic One-Day Trip! - I had a wonderful time on this one-day trip! Our driver and guide, Nick, was truly fantastic. He shared lots of interesting history, explained everything clearly, and answered all our questions right away. He also helped us find great photo spots throughout the day. On the way back at night, Nick even pulled over when he noticed good northern lights and took photos for us. Thanks to him, I got my best Aurora view of my entire Fairbanks trip! He’s also a very skilled and experienced driver, and we felt completely safe the whole time. Really appreciated this tour and highly recommend it!

Unforgettable adventure - Our trip to the Arctic Circle was incredible, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Nick. He was knowledgeable, organized, and genuinely passionate about the region, which made every stop feel meaningful. Nick always made sure the group felt safe and comfortable, and he explained everything—from local history to small details about the landscape—in a way that was easy to enjoy. His good humor and flexibility, especially with the changing weather, made the experience even better. I highly recommend this tour, and especially having Nick as your guide. He truly helped turn a beautiful destination into an unforgettable adventure.

My family and I went on... - My family and I went on this tour, and my 10 and 12-year old didn’t complain once! Was it a hallelujah moment? Not exactly, it was because our tour operator, Nick, was amazing. He made the long drive engaging, and the hours flew by. He was a safe driver, knew the area inside and out, and shared a wealth of information. Crossing the Arctic Circle was unforgettable, but having Nick as our guide made the entire experience truly exceptional. Highly recommend! Just be prepared for a bumpy ride, bring snacks, and wear appropriate clothing for the weather, and it will be the time of your life.

No Regrets! - All in all this was an experience of a lifetime. Our guide, Nick, did a superb job navigating us from start to finish-13 hours round trip-. The logistics of the trip were spelled out and Nick stuck with it. From the pipeline, Dalton Highway sign, Yukon River camp (delicious dinner), to the Artic Circle. There truly are no words to describe the breathtaking views of gorgeous terrain. Nothing compares to being immersed in the beautiful wintery landscape of Alaska. We saw a Marten and a lost pig! Lastly, our wonderful journey ended with some Aurora Borealis. Do not hesitate to book with this company. New reliable and comfortable vans. Safe drivers that take care of their group. Most important, they have WIFI!

Great- once in a lifetime - experience! - What an awesome experience we had with Nick! It's a long ride & the roads are rough, but he was a great driver navigating the snowy/icy conditions & making it look easy! Being able to see so many changes in the landscape was amazing. Nick was fabulous helping with our mom (& all the other guests) as we had several snowy/icy spots to navigate getting out for breaks & food. We kept an eye out for wildlife, but the moose & bear were keeping to themselves on that snowy day. He also tried to get us some views of the Northern Lights on the way back by stopping at some great spots, but no luck. If you take the tour with him, ask him what BP stands for!

Arctic Circle trip - Very long drive, but beautiful scenery, and worth seeing the Arctic Circle at the end of the trip. Please make sure to bring food because you're not going to get any along the way!

Great trip! - This was awesome! Our driver, Aaron, was fantastic. We felt very safe with him driving even on the treacherous Dalton Hwy and he had lots of information to share. Stopping at the pipeline and the Yukon River were great and arriving at the Arctic Circle was surreal. We had dinner at the Yukon River Camp which was very good and even saw Moose and some Northern lights on the way back. Would definitely recommend this trip.
