Overview

This is a small, private tour to the Arctic Circle. Passengers will be riding in a comfy 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander and brand new winter tires. Scheduling on the website is a bit tricky and doesn't allow for next day returns, just keep in mind the trip will take 10-12 hours depending on weather and how much time you'd like to spend at each location. We'll be travelling through mountain passes, river valleys, and possibly seeing the Northern Lights along the way. This tour is flexible and allows for you to request a stop anywhere along the way to stretch your legs, take photos, or even just enjoy the views. Pickup Time is completely customizable to work with your schedule!

Our guide, Ian, is a young man with exceptional knowledge. He was a very careful driver and all in the family enjoyed being chauffeured to the Arctic Circle. Clean bathrooms are sparse, but Ian stopped for us to use the restroom at a lodge along with way. Good tour overall

Trip to the Arctic Circle

The trip to the Arctic circle was just fabulous. It is a once in a lifetime experience. The trip was made more memorable and enjoyable by Ian, our driver and guide. He is just a wealth of information , a very skilled driver for these conditions and very flexible to let you decide what you want to do, where you want to get off and for how long and when you want to start the trip. A wonderful tour with family with a great guide and driver! Totally worth the time and money!!!

We recently embarked on an unforgettable Arctic Circle trip in Alaska, and our guide made the experience absolutely phenomenal. From the moment we started, his knowledge of the region’s history, wildlife, and unique geography brought the journey to life. A little bit disappointed that we were not able to see full-blown aurora. Definitely would recommend to others looking for this experience!

Amazing trip!! Once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommended

Published on Dec, 2024

The Arctic Circle expedition with Ian was absolutely fabulous! We took the trip on Thanksgiving day. The entire trip was very well arranged and professionally conducted. Ian picked us up from the airport and after a brief stop at the hotel to drop our luggage and at a gas station to pick up some snacks and drinks, we were on our way. Ian was sure that were briefed on the safety instructions including the fact that there was a satellite texting device on board in case it was needed. There was also a CB radio which Ian used to communicate with the other truck drivers on the road to ensure that others knew of our presence on the highway when he deemed it necessary when turning around corners and going up steep slopes. We made multiple stops along the way and Ian explained the topology and geography of the region and was courteous when we had questions. Since it was Thanksgiving day, he made sure that we had food available at the dinner stop (Yukon River Camp) that catered to our dietary requirements. On the way back from the Arctic Circle, we were chasing the Aurora and Ian made frequent stops along the way to make sure that we did not miss them. He went beyond the time allocated for the tour just to make sure that we were completely satisfied with the tour. We would highly recommend this tour to everyone. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Ian! We hope to be back.

Amazing trip!

This was the best trip we have ever taken!!! Ian is an phenomenal guide. His military background and his knowledge of the roads made for a safe and secure trip. He communicated well with the truckers on the road to ensure safety at all times. His vehicle is well maintained as well. He is knowledgeable on so many subjects it made the trip interesting. He pointed out so many different things including the wolf we saw. We did see the norther lights and he pointed out what to look for. We stopped several times to view them. He even sent us the pictures he took. I would take this trip again with him or any other trip in a heartbeat. He did not disappoint us at all! We went early April 2024
