Ryan was an amazing tour guide! He had stories to entertain us through the long ride to the Artic Circle. We walked on the Frozen Yukon River - who can say they did that! Saw the Pipeline - and learned really interesting things about it. We stopped at amazing viewpoints for pictures of Boreal Forest, and Tundra. (All of thse fun stops broke up a long, long drive.) We did see the northern lights on the trip home. We were given a nice sandwich, 2 waters, and snacks of chips and candy. Each person got their own food bag, mentioned above, to munch on during the trip. (I think adults will appreciate this trip more than smaller children since it is a long driving trip.)
The ride helps you understand why this is called the last frontier because once you leave Fairbanks there is not much between there and the Artic Circle. I am so glad I took this trip...who gets to say they went to the ARTIC CIRCLE?! WORTH IT!!!

Our tour guide was terrible. Very sarcastic and not informative at all. We were never offered hot drinks and I think we took at least 5 smoke breaks for him. At one time he pulled close to a snow bank and said here is a “make shift” bathroom never told anyone we would stop in 20 minutes at an indoor bathroom. It was a long drive but could have been more interesting and informative with a different guide than Jake. We were all very disappointed.

We were fortunate to have the AB in view from the time we arrived. Ryan was very informative and knowledgeable about the entire process and taught us a lot as well as took care of our needs. Bonus in addition to the AB being active entire trip was his knowledge as a musher. He brought some of the dogs over which was a real treat ❣️
The yurts were so great to have to warm up every few minutes after spending time in the -29 degrees taking pics and having fun.
Thanks for fulfilling my wish of experiencing the AB !

Our tour guide, Ryan, was friendly and helpful. He shared with us many stories on the drive and was a very responsible driver. The tour itself was spectacular as we came across many sites. It was also our first time to see the northern lights. The experience was surreal. This trip was very fun and I would highly recommend it to any fellow tourists.

It was worth every penny!!! The van stayed warm, thank goodness because it gets cold! :) I never felt unsafe with our Tour Guide managing this challenging road. He knew what to look for and we had many opportunities to view the Aurora. I know nature had a lot to do with that, we were blessed with clear, dark skies, but he knew what he was looking at and would pull over, affording us many opportunities to catch the picture! They provide a nice lunch to eat. Be prepared, you will not have the luxury of bathroom breaks with privacy unless you construct your own .... wear a long coat! :) It's all part of the adventure, so don't let it upset you. There, at the Arctic Circle, we had a bit of hot chocolate and plenty of time for pictures. Take it in! It's the trip of a lifetime, to be in that space and place. ENJOY! I recommend them HIGHLY! The wonderful little treat at the end, which I will let be a surprise, was just the cherry on top. Bring a camera with night-time resolution to capture the Aurora. It's not usually visible to the eye, so come prepared.

Our guide was excellent and went out of his way to make sure we had a good experience. Once he located the northern lights he stopped several times so we could take pictures
