Bucket List ✔️ - We were traveling to see the Aurora to check off the big wish on the bucket list.
Sultan did a great job on locating the Aurora for our group. Be prepared for a long day traveling to the Artic Circle in close quarters. Would I do it again? Yes!

Great tour - Long bumpy ride but the Northern Lights at the end were worth it. So thankful for our guide who found them and showed us how to capture them!

Sultan was very... - Sultan was very informative and led a fun trip. He pointed out plenty of spots and made stops for us to see the Yukon River and get dinner.

Great Trip and a fun ride - The trip is a bonus for getting to do two things in one go. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate with us and it was raining the whole way, so the northern lights where hidden, but we did make it to the Arctic Circle. The road was very bumpy and it pays to be with someone who knows what they are doing, which Sultan did. We were able to make multiple stops for bathrooms and points of interest. At the end, Sultan ended up sending us dash cam videos of various points of our trip, which was really a nice thing to have. Highly recommended!

Excellent Arctic Circle tour with Sultan - The Arctic Circle tour is 400 miles round trip on a mostly gravel road. With that being said, I was happy I went. Sultan our driver and narrator, has being driving the Dalton Highway for 25+ years. He is very knowledgeable in the Alaskan environment along with every bump or turn in the road. Unfortunately, we did not get to see the Northern Lights due to the time of year but we did get to witness a beautiful Alaskan sunset at 11:55pm.

Good and bad - It is awesome to see The Arctic Circle, the Yukon River and pipeline and drive the Dalton Hwy. However communication during the 14 hrs was very limited and we couldn’t hear anything the driver was saying as he didn’t use a microphone. The vehicle was very uncomfortable and squashy, as there were 12 people onboard. We heard from one of the other customers who was sitting up front that the guide has been doing this for 25 years. There must be so much knowledge and information he could share with his passengers, a shame he didn’t.
