Overview

Travel along one of the world’s most isolated roads from Fairbanks to the Arctic Circle on this memorable 12 to 14-hour tour through the Alaskan wilderness. In the company of an experienced guide with a passion for Alaska, journey up the Dalton Highway, passing by the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, crossing the Yukon River, and reaching the edge of the Arctic Circle. On the drive back, watch for the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). This tour is limited to 9 guests to ensure that you enjoy a small-group experience in one of our climate-controlled vans. Please note that we cannot guarantee the Northern Lights sightings and we can't guarantee last minute bookings. We do encourage each guest to rotate seats at least a few times on this tour.

Jessica was exceptional!...

Published on Feb, 2025

Jessica was exceptional! Very kind, knowledgeable, caring. Although, we did not get to see the northern lights, the trip was so worth it. The way to the Artic Circle through the Dalton Hwy was one of a kind experience!

Best tour guide ever!

Great experience. Greg was very knowledgeable took all of his time to explain everything in detail and also gave us very neat information about everywhere we went. Thanks again.

Greg was a fantastic tour guide. He was kind, knowledgeable about everything Alaska and beyond. He thought of everything and made our trip exceedingly enjoyable. (Not to mention, he brought us extra blankets and hand warmers. It was COLD). And we got to see the Aurora. Would highly recommend.

Legendary Tour Guide - Greg Robbe

Published on Jan, 2025

My family and I had Greg Robbe as our guide to the Arctic Circle in search of Northern Lights. Nowadays, the best term to describe Greg is the phrase "built different." This is especially fitting because he used to compete in strength sports - one of the many entertaining stories he told us. In a nutshell, Greg: 1. Has an outstanding wealth of rich knowledge - he is a true polymath. He demonstrated deep knowledge of biology, physics, music, history, policy, and many more subjects. Whatever angle you wish to study Alaska from, Greg has you covered. It's also worth noting that he wrote his Master's Thesis about the very road on which the tour takes place. It's hard to imagine someone better qualified to do this job! 2. Has a natural knack for storytelling - I found his stories easy to follow and consistently interesting. He is animated and engaging throughout. 3. Has seemingly endless endurance - he took us on a 14-hour excursion and showed no clear sign of fatigue or needing a break. He was able to speak for virtually the entire time. I don't understand how this is biologically possible, but he made it look easy. 4. Is impervious to cold - he seemed genuinely comfortable in everyday clothes that did not look like winter gear despite subzero temperatures. 5. Takes great photos - he kindly offered to take photos of me and my family and he took better photos of the Northern Lights than we could. 6. Is kind and attentive - he made sure to address the needs of everyone onboard the bus and our comfort was always his priority. A big thank you to Greg for a great experience!
