The Northern Alaska tour bus was comfortable and roomy. Being able to just sit back and enjoy the scenery of the various mountains, valleyies and rivers was awesome. The narration provided by Alan was outstanding. His knowledge of the tour route and related historical stories of the wilderness were very enjoyable. We met outstanding tourist on the bus. I even...

I first flew with Northern Alaska Tour Company in March 2011, over the Arctic Circle to Coldfoot (see earlier review). In February 2012 I took a view flight to Mt. Denali, on a clear morning that provided stunning views of the Alaska Range and surrounding area. As a minimum of four people are required, I was able to join a... More

Wow.!! my dream come true!! It took (an overly long) time to get there, what with stops for sledding,etc) but the trip was well worth it. Coldfoot is a truck stop with a beautiful view, adequate food (especially when Victoria is cooking!), and very good heating! The best part of this trip, though is the Wiseman extension ($69 per person... More

Just got back from a great drive to the Arctic Circle. Our guide Michael was fabulous and so much fun. Enjoyed his stories and sledding down a few hills as we "stretched" our legs. It was a very interesting trip, well worth the time and money even though we didn't see the Aurora. Walked out on the frozen Yukon! A... More

I took the Arctic Circle/Northern Lights tour, and was soooooo happy I did! What a great experience! Our guide, Michael, was EXTREMELY knowledgeable, entertaining and helpful. We traveled the Dalton Highway (of "Ice Road Truckers" fame), saw the Yukon River, Alaska Pipeline, saw wildlife along the way, including moose, various small villages/stores, and then had our ceremonious "crossing the Arctic...

We took the bus up to Coldfoot and 25miles outside of Fairbanks, one wheel of the bus came off and another exploded! Not the company's fault, just bad luck I suppose. Two hours later the mechanic delivered another bus and we were on our way. The bus was very comfortable. It kept us warm while the temperature outside dropped the... More

Took an Arctic Circle Drive last July with a very knowledgable guide. Beautiful landscapes, a fun circle crossing, the Yukon River, the pipeline and lots of interesting stories told by our driver, Allan. The bus broke down in the middle of nowhere on the way back and EVERY trucker on the road stopped to offer his help! Anyway, no problem.... More

On our 2 1/2 month road trip in Alaska and Western Canada we were fortunate to have chosen what has to be one of our favorite parts of the trip. The Northern Alaska Tour Company trip up the Dalton Highway up to Deadhorse Camp was truly an experience of a lifetime! We learned so much about Alaska from our guide... More

We booked this trip purposely to see the Aurora Borealis and to pass the Arctic Circle. It sure did not disappoint. The tour was very well organized and staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Mike took an extra step rolling out the red carpet when we were crossing the ARCTIC CIRCLE in a ceremonial fashion…lots of fun! We visited Wiseman,... More

We took the Aurora Drive day trip from Fairbanks to the Arctic Circle, with Aurora viewing on the return. The guide was very knowledgeable and was persistent in getting us a view of the Aurora. He took his time getting back to Fairbanks, which worked out great because at about 2 am we were treated to a great display. He... More
