Dalton Highway to the Arctic Circle
We throughly enjoyed our excursion. Another couple joined us on this tour and it was truly an adventure for all. We kept running into a couple from Colorado that had mishaps driving the Dalton Highway to the Arctic Circle ahead of us. Broken out window from road debris, flat tire and more. We kept expecting to see them around the bend at the side of the road with another problem. Being so remote our driver as expected, helped them out where he could. We saw beautiful landscapes, our driver/guide was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information and was wonderful. We were ecstatic when we reached the Arctic Circle Marker and took lots of pictures. Yes, it is a long drive but a stop was made for treats, a little shopping and bathroom break at a small store.

Best Northern Lights tour in Fairbanks!
This was the best time during our trip to Fairbanks to see the northern lights. Money well spent. The lights were almost non stop since we got to the cabin. David was a great host, he is funny and knowledgeable, he picked us up from the hotel. He took professional amazing pictures that he sent to us almost immediately at the end. The lights are awesome, it is a beautiful spectacle. The van was warm and comfy. The cabin has everything you need: coffee, snacks, noodles, restroom, comfortable sofas, table, chairs, etc. David even made hot dogs for us. You can be in and out as you please to look at the lights. Everything you have heard or seen about the lights doesn't compare to live it. Don't hesitate to book, especially with this guy. 5 stars.

Amazing would do it Again!!!
We enjoyed the experience. Everyone was very nice to us and they answered all of our questions. It was really fun and the dogs were super kind and social and good with children. The dogs were well treated and happy. We would recommend this experience.

Phenomenal experience with this tour
Loved the experience. Although nothing is ever guaranteed, we were able to obtain our goal in catching the Northern Lights. Our tour guide (don't remember his name) was very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the Northern Lights. You can tell he was genuinely amazed and excited as we were when we were able to catch the lights. Even after catching the lights at one spot, you can tell on the way back he was invested in trying to catch them again. He had the camera and high tech equipment in taking great videos and photos for everyone. As the majority of people on our tour were more focused on trying to get their own photos on their camera phones, my wife and I seemed to be the only ones for him to take photos on his own equipment which we didn't mind. It was like a private shoot. lol. I don't think they understood that his equipment catches the light way better and he even kept encouraging the group to take many pictures on his equipment. The van was always a comfortable temperature and he provided water and various snacks to keep you filled. We brought pillows and rested while there are times you are just resting and waiting in the car until you are able to catch the lights. Great experience! Catching the northern lights was what my wife wanted to do on her birthday and we achieved that. At the end of the night, they provided a piece of cake that was very yummy. They are supposed to send us our pictures and video a week or two after so we haven't received that yet since we went on the tour just a few days ago. All we can say is thank you again for the phenomenal experience! The picture posted is our own picture on our camera phone. Can't wait for the professional pictures!

Amazing tour! Best chance to see the Northern lights with photos!!
These guys are experts!! They took us to a great place for viewing the Northern lights near Birch Lake. They took professional photos, and provided several heated areas to hang out to warm up when it got too cold. We would not have been able to see the Northern lights as vividly or at all without this tour. We tried. We highly recommend this tour!!! I also wanted to say that we had a lot of trouble making it to our tour due to mechanical issues with our first airplane, leading us to be re-routed through Portland and Anchorage. Nicole was absolutely wonderful about working with us to help us join the tour. It also happened to be the best viewing during our entire stay. We are very thankful. This tour was wonderful and the guides are nice people.

First rate tour. Great...
First rate tour. Great driver/photographer who explained whole process. The dogs were wonderful—what an adventure—with fantastic scenery. Mushers answered all questions and took additional pictures for us. One of the best travel experiences out of a huge number. Don’t miss it!

Beautiful day for a cave
Beautiful day at Castner Cave - what a spectacular place! Janey was an excellent driver and guide. The hike was easy and accessible, and the cave is so magical. Highly recommend when you’re in the area, we can’t wait to come back and see how it’s changed!

Great first time snowmachine experience.
Adult family did the 1-hour snowmachine trip. The lodge outfits you with extra gear so you will stay warm and comfortable. We had gear but they added a second coat, fleece balaclava, and different boots. Great trip and guide. I was concerned that my glasses would fog but it was easy to partially open my visor and keep visibility. Made the experience comfortable for 1st time snowmachine operators and we also turned up the speed. Loved going slower through the narrow path in the woods. Just beautiful. Thanks for a fun time.

They delivered, saw the...
They delivered, saw the Aurora as soon as we reach the glasshouse and it was spectacular- there were snacks and hot drinks while you wait inside the house and the organizers were really good at making sure everyone got a good view of the lights and every party got photographed, clean restroom .
The photos were sent early in the morning- definitely recommend!

Our tour guide, Blake,...
Our tour guide, Blake, was fantastic! He is incredibly knowledgeable about the Fairbanks area and knew exactly where to find the best aurora viewing spots. The van was comfortable, and we felt very safe with his driving throughout the night.
Chena Hot Springs was a highlight—the Ice Museum is a neat stop, and dinner at the restaurant was delicious. Soaking in the hot springs is an absolute must-do experience, and it’s a prime location for the lights. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Alaska!

Fantastic, once in a lifetime experience with a truly great operator
Absolute once in a life time experience. As mesmerizing the Aurora and Arctic circle were, I wanted to give a shout out to our guide and tour operators Sultan. He was very resourceful and courteous and professional to the core and shared a passion for the main elements of the tour. Let me highlight what I liked about him
1. Was able to quickly accommodate changes when a couple of family members arrived late due to missed flight connections
2 . Gave very good directions up front via text message on what to bring and what to expect
3. Was very patient, without hurrying. made extra stops to enjoy the Aurora and almost allowed 1-2 hours extra because the Aurora watching was too good
4. Was also an excellent photographer and provided memorable pictures and also dashcam videos of the scenic drive
5. Was professional to the core and passionate about Aurora, the Arctic circle and Alaska and help the guests truly get more than their money’s worth
6. Skillful and safe driver, you want on your side when driving on the icy Arctic circle roads

Unbelievable beautiful glacier ice cave with incredible Snow Crystal Flowers
Tour guide Tony is very professional experienced guiding us walking and crawling on icy slippery road in the glacier ice cave. We were enjoying seeing and touching the beautiful blue ice wall and incredible beautiful Snow Crystal Flowers inside the seven thousand years old glacier ice cave.
