  We had a great experience on our trip to Arctic Circle and Aurora chasing with Sultan. He is a phenomenal guide, an expert driver. He knows his job. He took great care of us, knew the exact places from where the strong Aurora view is possible. Took pics of us with aurora. He is a gem of a guide with reasonable price. We will look forward to have a trip with him to the Arctic Ocean in the summer sometime. He is brilliant.

• An awesome experiemce

  Our tour to the Arctic Circle was fun. At first, I was worried that we might not see the Aurora because it was overcast/cloudy. But as we get closer the arctic circle, it started to clear up. We made several stops for picture taking and restroom breaks. Our tour guide was very nice and accommodating. He ready made sure that we get enough aurora sighting. Will highly recommend.

  It wasn't what I expected. We sat in the tour van for four hours. I think I should have done more research before I booked the tour.

• Once in a lifetime views

  Originally booked shorter tour but were able to work with Sultan to move to longer Arctic Circle tour on day with stronger aurora forecast. Tour itself was wonderful. Sultans’s enthusiasm is infectious and he goes the extra mile to provide an experience that exceeds expectations. Would definitely book again and recommend to others heading that way.

• Catfished - Misleading Experience and Poor Execution

  The tour got off to a bad start. We were picked up in a van that was in very poor condition and taken on an unexpected detour to the guide’s house to pick up a tripod we never used. Waiting there in the dark felt suspicious and unsafe. Seeing that the guide had another van in much better condition made it frustrating that we were taken in the run-down one. The driving was fast and bumpy, and my partner was being knocked around in the backseat. At one point, the driver pulled over and got out without explanation, which startled everyone; turns out we were already at our destination. We were confused because we were only about 25 minutes away from the city and could still see all the light pollution. We understand the northern lights aren’t guaranteed—that wasn’t the issue. The problem was the lack of effort to get away from light pollution despite a strong forecast. Instead of chasing the lights, we sat in the van for hours while watching videos of what the aurora *could have been* like on the guide’s more expensive tour, which felt like an upsell. If it weren’t for the two other people on the tour, I would have asked to end the night early—I don’t doubt they were also ready for it to be over. Aside from the van being warm and the guide’s enthusiasm, this wasn’t worth the time or money. We’re still trying to get a refund and wouldn’t recommend this tour.

  Our guide was very friendly, he helped us took a lot of pretty photos, but this tour is not a tour to the artic circle, it's only around 40 mins away from Fairbanks.

• In an upsell nightmare.

  The guide was pretty inflexible. Drove to one location and sat there for 5 hours. We finally did see a pretty dismal showing of the northern lights, then took us back to the hotel. It was a crowded van and most felt like we were being held hostage. Guide kept telling us to be flexible, although he wasn’t. While he did eventually show us some lights, we didn’t like the constant upselling to his more expensive arctic circle trip. We do NOT recommend this tour.

• AMAZING Adventure, Highly Recommend!!

  This was an awesome tour. A once in a lifetime experience. We saw the Northern Lights, went to the Arctic Circle, witnessed the “magical forest,” and were entertained by owner/operator Sultan. He was very knowledgeable and excited about every part of the adventure. I will say the Dalton Highway is not for the faint of heart, but well worth the journey. When it says “chase the Northern Lights,” that’s exactly what we did on the trip back from the Arctic Circle. We stopped at several spots to see the lights. Sultan took pics of everyone and reveled in the experience with all the participants. We wouldn’t change a thing about the tour and would highly recommend it. We went on a couple other excursions while in Fairbanks and this one was by far the best, and was the most reasonably priced one considering all the adventures we experienced. Thank you, Sultan!!

  Sultan was amazing! Very safe driver, took great care of us! Explained when all the stops would be. After the Arctic Circle, he found the Northern Lights twice and gave us plenty of time to photograph them. He even took pictures with his own camera on a tripod and shared them with us! I would definitely take another tour with him when I come back to Fairbanks!!!

• Great experience even despite unfavorable weather conditions

  We went ahead with the tour even though it looked like the weather wasn't great leading up to our tour date. Sultan was upfront and made sure to communicate the conditions and was even kind enough to offer flexible cancellation if we changed our mind in case. Sultan really put in the effort to try and find us a good spot with the best chance in spite of unlikely viewing conditions. Thankfully we eventually somehow caught a glimpse of the aurora and he took some great pictures for us in that brief span of time. If we're ever in town again we won't hesitate to book this tour! Great overall experience Next time we'd like to hear more about Fairbanks and Alaska history, facts, etc but maybe that's more part of the other tour package
