    My friend and I had an excellent time on the Arctic Circle Winter Drive Adventure! I would recommend it highly as it is a really cool and unique experience. The day is long, but it is worth it. Only warning is that people with dietary restrictions should bring their own snacks/food as there are limited options, but there are plenty of bathroom breaks and neat stopping points! The day starts with stopping by a Safeway to get food for lunch and snacks for the road (there are other places to buy food en route, but it's instant noodle/jerky kind of food which would be difficult for people with dietary restrictions: BYO food). Our guide, Tim, was very knowledge and taught us a lot about the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline. We stopped to take a pic at the Dalton Highway sign, made it over to a little lodge with outhouses (no food in April), went to the Yukon River Camp (snacks, coffee, gift shop, flushable bathrooms) and had the awesome experience of walking on the frozen Yukon river, incredible. Then we made our way over to the Arctic Circle where we had some hot beverages and took a bunch of pictures. Tim was awesome and brought out a red carpet for us. On the way back to Fairbanks we stopped again at the Yukon River Camp for coffee/dinner, dropped off the overnight crew, but Tim went out of his way to make multiple stops so that we could catch the Aurora Borealis. It was absolutely beautiful and I was very appreciative of his efforts. Since we got dropped off by shuttle in the morning, we were dropped off at our hotel at night by Tim. Overall, it was an awesome time and I really enjoyed it. Can't recommend highly enough!

    Hands down, the best experience of our vacation to Alaska! We were traveling with my older parents and it is a long day. My first priority was to find a tour company that offered a coach/bus rather than a passenger van. Northern Alaska came out on top and Colin was really helpful in answering my extra questions during the booking process. Admittedly, I wasnt impressed by the idea of saying I had 'been to the Arctic' just bc I visited a sign for ten minutes in a tour group, but our guide, Mike, made it so special. He truly cares about Alaska and wants to share it with others. Having someone so knowledgeable and kind to commend us for making this effort to visit the lesser traveled parts of Alaska was really meaningful! And he surprised us with an extra treat (beyond our certificates) at the sign to celebrate the occasion. I won't ruin it here. You'll have to go to find out! That said, I knew Mike was a great guide, as he brought energy, professionalism, and care to the trio that were apparent and highly appreciated. But I realized just how great of a guide he is after taking tours with other guides at other companies - they just didn't compare. Not even close. Northern Alaska has a reputation for Arctic Circle tours for a reason. They hire the best guides, they care about their guests and they do everthing they can to support your enjoyment and learning. I highly recommend Northern Alaska and a visit with them to the Arctic Circle!
