Amazing!! - This tour was the best experience we had in Alaska. Elena was very caring, positive, and enthusiastic, making us feel very comfortable. She took the time to explain, the patience to look for the Aurora and take lots of beautiful pictures. During the tour we got to see amazing sites, see the Aurora, take pictures and have a delicious dinner. I definitely recommend this tour; it is a MUST if you want to see the Auroras and have a lovely time while searching for it. This was a fantastic experience; we are very grateful!!

Excellent Tour, wonderful exprience, highly recommend - I had booked this trip 2 months in advance. On the day before the tour, the tour owner Elena Gedminas from Arctic Night Tours calls to confirm the food restriction as she was offering a complimentary dinner during the trip, and informed us the driver's name. She was very friendly on the call and very considerate. Pleasant experience.
On the day of the tour, the driver picked us up at the scheduled time 1:15pm and picked few other parties and we drove north towards Arctic Circle. The driver was Sultan was very friendly, very profressional. He stopped for dinner, gave us the individually packed boxes. There were special gifts for kids. That was an excellent surprice. We continued driving north. The driver was so polite, stopped at various stops, took pictures for us, explained the places, and finally at Arctic circle, gave each of us cake, a certificate, took pictures.
Later, we went chasing the northern lights, where the driver stopped at various stops making sure we saw the lights. The driver took all our photos, shared it to us, he took even videos during the tour that he shared with us, and dropped us back at the hotel at 3am.
Overall, the tour was really really great! Wonderful owner, driver. Highly recommend this tour company. Excellent people!

Great experience. - Sultan is very professional and friendly, and speaks surprisingly 5 languages. Thank you for organizing the wonderful trip(the food is great too). Unfortunately today's aurora was not strong enough to create some breathtaking pictures but we still managed to find some locations. I will definitely go back for another round in 2024 or 2025 for the chance to see the strong aurora.

One of the must-book tours in Fairbanks! - Sultan (our guide) is very knowledgeable and considerate. This tour starts late in the day so you can avoid large tourist buses in the arctic circle and no other people or line at the sign! It also ends very late. We came back around 2 am after chasing the aurora.

A trip on the road less traveled - Ed was a fabulous tour guide, he picked us up promptly at our hotel and we were quickly traveling up the Dalton Highway. Ed made a few, strategically staged stops on the way to the Arctic Circle to stretch and use the facilities. We arrived at the Arctic Circle just about sunset, it was gorgeous. On the return trip we were treated to a spectacular display of the Northern Lights.
Most definitely a highlight of our Alaskan adventure.

Excellent trip and northern lights included - The driver was great. Very knowledgeable of the Alaska pipeline and some of the history behind it. He mage the trip better by getting us in areas to see the northern lights.

Great Trip & Experience! - Great Adventure! Very safe driver! Great conversations for a long journey!
We booked an expensive full day tour months ago from one of the other vendors who offered personal service (not in a bus with 15+ other people). The owner cancelled our trip three days before for a frivolous reason and we could not find another vendor to take us on short notice (once in a lifetime vacation to Alaska). Found out later, other companies cancelled/delayed bookings due to a road closure.
We found and booked Arctic Tours. They quickly took our short notice booking and told us they could not accommodate us at an 8am trip due to a road closure, so we adjusted our itinerary to begin the adventure at 2pm. We were lucky that they only had our family so it was an incredible experience in a mini van. The driver was incredibly nice, personable, and asked us if his daughters could come since it was only the two of us. His daughters were lovely, very smart, and kept us entertained for hours. We stopped at a roadside gas station/cafe and he provided a wonderful meal of grilled salmon and fish, dumplings, hot coffee and tea, etc. He also took pictures for us and uploaded them to a link for us to get later since we would not have access quickly. Have to say that we felt very safe with his driving enough to take some sleep on the way back. A fantastic experience and would love to have them as neighbors and friends.

Beautiful day to see Alaska! - I had a wonderful day tour to the Arctic circle. We were 6 travelers and I found the mini bus adequate for this tour. The roads are rough with holes, rocks, dust and mud, but I was comfortable throughout the drive. The guide/ driver, Kevin, was full of knowledge and stories. We made frequent stops for taking in the sites, food and bathroom breaks. Unfortunately, didn't see any wildlife, but did have wild birds eating out of my hand! I felt that by the end of the tour I learned a lot about Alaska. Thx to Kevin! I had a great day! Highly recommend this tour with Alaska Wildlife Guide!

Miserable - Our guide kept the van very cold the entire 13 hour trip. We would ask for him to turn up the heat and he would for a few minutes but then cut it back down. It was so cold that the inside of the windows iced over. We had to rub the ice off in order to see out side. The van was old and drafty (had ash trays). We made one stop to see the scenery. The food he provided was cold…some type of noodles with mushy vegetables. He didn’t even eat it…he had his own sandwich. He talked the entire time to the person in the front seat so it was like everyone in the back didn’t have a clue what was going on. It was a miserable experience. The arctic circle is cool and so is the dalton hwy, but I would not go with this company. Sultan was the name of our guide.

Don't do it. - Not sure what I expected, but it certainly wasn't driving 6 hours one way, with 2 stops for cold food or toilet in a freezing van that had ice on the insides of the windows with -25° weather. Just to take a photo infront of the sign and get back on the road for another 6hrs back. All the while each time we stopped the guide had the doors wide open freezing all of us for things he could have said INSIDE the van. Read the room man. The van was packed with guests and very uncomfortable having sat next to a larger couple for a total of 12 hours sitting with my hands across my body like a tight flight. They were miserable too and the woman didnt fit well in the seat causing backpain with each bump. Dont do it.
