We had a great trip to the Arctic Circle and back. The stops on the way up were nice; they were windy and cold, but that was no surprise. Lee was helpful and informative and helped keep the long drive pleasant. The trip back was excellent. We were fortunate enough to be driving back during the lunar eclipse. We had a couple of unscheduled stops when the sky was relatively clear to see the aurora and eclipse.
Once in a lifetime experience!

Ian Lee was our private guide. He picked us up at our hotel and our first stop was the gas station for snacks. There aren’t many places to stop on the way. We had a safety briefing and began our journey to the Arctic Circle. Ian was very knowledgeable and entertaining during the tour. We stopped at several markers along the way for photos and to discuss history. We stoped at the Yukon Camp for a bathroom break, souvenirs, and a snack. We ordered our dinner to be eaten on the way back from the Arctic Circle We stopped to take photos of the Alaska Pipeline, at the Dalton Highway sign, and at the final destination, the Arctic Circle sign. We made it there a little before sunset for photos. On the way back, we stopped several times to get photos of the Northern Lights. They were stunning!! We went back by the Yukon Camp to eat dinner and then went ice fishing!! Ian had set some lines out and we went out into the frozen Yukon River to check them. We got to see the process of checking the line, assessing the situation, and retrieving the fish. It was extremely cool! We stopped a few ore times as the Northern Lights became more active. It was a wonderful experience for the entire family! I highly recommend this private tour!
Amazing experience!! Unforgettable!

We had the tour of our lives with Ian! We loved his expertise, his friendly manners, his willingness to make our trip unforgettable and his attention to safety! Every experience will be a little different due to weather and an unpredictable aurora but this trip was truly amazing! And Ian has a great playlist too!

Ian was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable and a safe driver on the icy roads. He kept us entertained and had a great music selection! He was also good at spotting the Northern Lights, and he knew of great places to pull off to view them.
