5.00Sultan 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

5.00We 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

3.00It was nice but would have been better if the driver opens and closes the door of the van for us. That door was so heavy. But can say he was a good driver.
A tour you cannot afford to miss in Alaska.

5.00This Arctic Circle road trip and aurora tour was nothing short of magical! 🌌🚗 From start to finish, our guide Mr Sultan made the experience unforgettable. The road to the Arctic Circle "Dalton Highway" isn’t paved, but he navigated it with care—constantly checking in to ensure we were comfortable and safe. Along the way, he introduced us to scenic spots we’d never have discovered on our own, each with its own story and history that he shared with genuine passion. His knowledge was impressive—not just about the landmarks, but also about the science and folklore behind the Northern Lights. He gave us practical tips on how, when, and where to chase the aurora on our own, which was incredibly helpful for future adventures. The highlight, of course, was the aurora viewing itself. Mr Sultan took us to a perfect spot, away from light pollution, where the sky danced in vivid colors. He even helped us capture the moment with stunning photos, making sure everyone had a chance to pose under the shimmering lights. This tour was a blend of adventure, education, and awe—and Mr Sultan was the heart of it all. Brownie points to him for being so thoughtful, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking the magic of the Arctic and the Northern Lights!
Great experience!...

5.00Great experience! Definitely worth it. Our tour guide Sultan was great, knowledgeable, and skilled in driving the dalton hwy. Be prepared for the elements depending the season you visit. Experienced rain and mud a bit. Overall a pleasant ride with great company.
An unforgettable experience!

3.00Bad weather. To long of a drive for very little and just a driver not an informative guide. Kind of sad
Do not go

1.00Do NOT go, felt like a scam! We called before booking it, and we were confirmed that it was a 12.5-hour tour going to the Arctic Circle sign, with a few other stops in between as advertised. I really wanted to see the aurora and it says going to the Arctic Circle sign so we allocated two days without sleep only for this tour. However, when we got there, we were told to go somewhere near Fairbanks and we stood there for 2-2.5 hours, which took us less than 3.5 hours for the total trip. The sky was clear, but the place we were taken was so close to Fairbanks and had lots of light pollution.
Sultan is wonderful and very knowledgeable

5.00It is a long bumpy ride so be prepared! But Sultan has plenty of stops planned. He is very knowledgeable of the area and has a keen sight for Aurora although it was simply too cloudy to see anything during our trip. We brought our food and drinks with us. There were just a few in the van so there was ample room.
Sultan was a great guide....
