Traveler reviews
Excellent Tour
Our guide was Milo -A++++++. His knowledge and enthusiasm were quite evident during our adventure. I highly recommend this tour and with Milo, you’d be in great hands. I’m sure the other tour guides are great as well. We too lots of great shots of the Northern lights on our trip. My wife and high are extremely pleased.
Arctic Circle tour..beware!
The worst experience of our 15-day Alaskan adventure. Took 15 hours round trip from Fairbanks to Arctic Circle and back. The roads were terrible, the seating in the van was extremely cramped and uncomfortable, the bathroom breaks and facilities were far and few between. Our guide was very chatty but offered little in the way of interesting and useful information. She definitely needs to polish her presentation. One bright spot was the food at the Yukon River Camp. Although the meal was not included in our overpriced excursion fee, the food was excellent. I am thrilled to have been to the Arctic circle but would not recommend this excursion.
Once In A Lifetime
Everything was awesome! A 14 hour excursion truly is Alaska Wild. Millo our guide was superb and had to deal with rain, fog, trucks and potholes on the Dalton Hwy. Yes, we did have one place where the stars came out and saw the Northern Lights.
Great trip even though wether prevented an accompanying Aurora Borealis.
15 hrs and got back at 5.00AM. Three vans in convoy. Everything worked as promised and our driver/ guide Wesleyto couldn't have done more to make the trip a success. We had a brief appearance of Aurora Borealis but the star was seeing the miles of trees on both sides of the road changing colour against the backdrop of the mountains. Oil pipeline was a frequent presence.
Great
The drive up to the Arctic Circle is very bumpy but so worth it. The scenery is beautiful and we saw wildlife as well along with the Aurora Borealis.
