A great way to see the interior of Alaska. One thing it's difficult to see out of the side windows because it freezes up.

Cramped small van with too many people to see out. Rear heat left off. Rear def left off. Glass iced inside vehicle; could not see out very well. Van too crowded. Terribly uncomfortable seats for a 13 hour drive. Overall miserable experience. Ads overly exagerated. Wrong kind of vehicle for the dirt and gravel road for 13 hours.

Jessica was our guide and driver. She is very knowledgeable and friendly. I was a little skeptical about this being a 14 hour tour but the time went by really fast. I felt safe with Jessica driving especially since the Dalton Highway is not one of the safest roads to travel. It was cloudy so we weren’t able to see the Northern Lights but that was outside Jessica’s control. Anyone want Ing to see the lights should book a couple of tours to enhance the odds.

Make sure to check the Aurora forecast ahead of time and make adjustments! Do not wait till last minute, the drive is very long. From the pick up to drop off, about 14 hours, and you will be exhausted and disappointed without seeing the lights. Also do not recommend to go to the arctic circle during winter time with limited day light. My very honest opinion, it’s not worth it.

Wonderful scenery. The best part was our guide, Greg, he kept us entertained with stories of Alaska life, and interesting facts from the history of the area.
