5.0It was perfect. Jamie our tour guide was the best. He was so informative and interesting. He was so knowledgeable about all the things. Highly recommend this tour and request Jamie. The skies even parted at the very end before we got back to aurora base camp and we got some aurora viewing in on our last night in town. Spectacular!
Fantastic!!!

5.0We had an amazing Arctic Circle tour with Shawn during Thanksgiving, and it was an unforgettable experience! The bus was extremely comfortable, and all the seats offered great views, even the ones at the back. One of the best things was that they rotated seats throughout the trip, ensuring everyone got a chance to enjoy the scenery. Shawn, our tour guide, was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, funny, and kept us entertained with his stories throughout the journey. He’s also a very safe driver, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. We drove down the dalton highway, stopped to get some pictures of sunrise, saw trans alaskan pipeline, had lunch and dinner at yukon river camp, and clicked some pics at the arctic circle sign. A special highlight was when Shawn spotted a glimpse of the aurora on our way back, even though this wasn’t an aurora-viewing tour. He stopped the bus so we could take pictures, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We later upgraded to the aurora experience since there were a few open spots, and we’re so glad we did. The view of the northern lights from the lodge was absolutely surreal—hands down the best experience of my life! If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate. It’s a full-day adventure, but so worth it, especially with a guide like Shawn who goes above and beyond to make the trip special. Highly recommend!
Best tour and guide ever

5.0This tour was by far the best I’ve been on. Will, the tour guide, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgable, had a great personality, and was very professional. Not enough space to describe how great this tour and guide was. Very much recommend anything the North Alaskan Tour Company provides.
Excellent
