    Our driver/guide, Ryan C, was great. Very knowledgeable and very professional. Ryan grew up in Alaska so I took the opportunity to talk with him about other places and activities to do on my vacation. The trip is LONG. We left the office at about 9:45am, but did not return until 2:15am. Construction on the Dalton Highway delayed us. We stopped several times to take bio-breaks and Ryan had some snacks/candies for us. I would recommend that you bring your own water and snacks anyway. Dinner at Yukon River Camp was surprisingly good (I had the salmon burger). I would recommend this trip so long as you can tolerate a very long day. 😁

    I Cannot recommend this organization enough. From the time we walked into the building at the Fairbanks Airport until we landed and walked across the street to our parked vehicle at $5/day. The staff were engaging and very friendly. We did the northbound drive/fly with an over night in Coldfoot, AK. Our tour guide / driver on the drive up, Will, was fantastic! He had a vast breadth of knowledge about historical, geographical and natural history which provided great conversation and helped break up the trip. We had a small group of 4 so we were in a small passenger van, which really allowed for more conversation between everyone. We stopped a few times on the way to Coldfoot, AK to enjoy the scenery, see the pipeline, lunch and use restroom facilities. We hit the Arctic Circle (66’33”) took pics with the handoff to our new guide and Will returned with the other two, expecting to hit FB 1:30 am. (Are you kidding me?!? ) New guide Declan drove us with a couple stops to Coldfoot and he also had a vast breadth of knowledgeable and insights or stories. Both guides were highly educated; geography degree and Chemistry/ IT degrees respectively. Declan’s narration was spot on and helped ease the pain of a painful drive. We saw 2 black bears (1 just 20 minutes south of Artcic Circle, a juvenile and one 7 miles south of Coldfoot, full grown). Once in Coldfoot we checked into our 5* accommodations (lol) (repurposed modular housing from 1970’s) actually private bathroom with shower was remarkably wonderful. Comfy twin beds. We opted for the pack raft trip and kayaked the Koyukuk River river and this was definitely the highlight of our trip! Ethan and Lleyton showered us with information and attention. We had to carry our packs in ~1/2 mile hike to river. Learned proper technique to inflate and setup kayaks. River was cool and refreshing on a gorgeous day. Paddled; beach hiked; paddled again. Disembark and pack up, then hike 1/2 mile to van left by companion driver earlier. Tired and happy, but High Fives all around! Back to camp, check out and shuttle to airport. Fly home - no bumpy road ride south. Flight ✈️ piper chieftain seats 8,plus pilots. Excellent views 5-7000 feet above ground. Really see the vastness of the land. 75 minutes arrive in FB. ~$1500 for 2 people plus food and tips. Awesome and so worth it! If you want an unforgettable experience Northern Alaska Tour Company is an amazing outfit that will provide you an amazing experience! I felt safe and comfortable with each and every tour guide; they truly operate a family style organization and we felt like family when we were there.

    We did the Midnight Sun Drive/Fly Adventure and loved it! This is THE WAY to travel the Dalton Highway. Don't try it on your own! Our guide Tom was great, keeping us informed and entertained up to the Arctic Circle. Was great to stop at the Yukon River and walk to the water's edge. The certificate at the Circle was a little cheesy, but hey, we're game! The trip up to Coldfoot was more adventure. Parallel to the pipeline, you get an idea of the engineering marvel and vastness of the project. OK, let's get to Coldfoot Camp. We'd been in an RV for about 4 days, so the rustic accommodations were absolutely a dream! It's a no-frills camp for Haul Road truckers, two twin beds, but comfortable and a great, hot shower! Now the food...OMG it's amazing! Honestly probably the best we had in Alaska! The evening buffet of beef goulash and HUGE wings, with great sides and salads and HOMEMADE blackberry cobbler! We skipped breakfast buffet and "settled" for two of the best biscuits we've ever had! The trip to Wiseman was interesting, but would probably settle for a raft trip or bike ride. Wish there was an option to land inside Gates of the Arctic. The flight back was wonderful, about an hour. I can't comprehend doing an up and back on the bus. That would be a LONG day, probably 12 hours on the bumpiest, washboardiest road in the world! Spend the night, enjoy the amazing food and fly back, where you can park right across the street from the terminal for $5/day!

    16 hour bus trip to the Arctic Circle from Fairbanks.. Our bus did NOT have air conditioning. We sweltered and melted the entire trip. The driver and management did nothing to fix the situation. Horrible experience. Think twice about booking with this company. Their buses do NOT have air conditioning.
