I would have given them a 10 if the dinner at the Yukon camp had been edible and delivered timely! Riley, our pilot was great! And our guides, Steven and Ryan were tremendous!!

TLDR: We took the Arctic Circle fly/drive tour and it was fabulous! A private plane flew us from Fairbanks north to Coldfoot Camp (about 60 miles into arctic circle); it took about an hour & our pilot did an amazing job. Not only was it a very smooth flight on the small 6 passenger plane, but he also pointed out some of the major sites along the way. It was so amazing to look out the windows onto massive ice-covered areas and uninhabited white wilderness! I was a little worried about how rough this flight might be, but it was one of my favorite parts of our trip & I would 100% do it again! We would have missed so much by driving both directions! After arriving at Coldfoot we had lunch & did a quick shop for a souvenir from the Arctic Circle (I mean, really, when are you ever going to get a chance to buy something in the Arctic Circle again?). We then got in an 8 passenger van & started the drive south which would take several hours. The drive south was on the Dalton Highway (famous from the show Ice Road Truckers) & it was not as precarious as I expected; it was actually a really good drive. The show obviously dramatizes it a lot, but we learned that the road is really only even close to as bad as they make it look during the heavy winter (sorry to burst bubbles). Our guide, Claire, navigated the road like a pro, was full of interesting stories/information, & was a lot of fun. The van was super comfortable and roomy. We made a few stops along the way & had some fun/exercise in the cold/snow. We were able to get up close with the oil pipeline & go sledding (be careful getting back up the hill, my sister ended up waist deep in the snow lol). We stopped at the southern border of the Arctic Circle to take pictures at the sign & met up with the larger 20 passenger van for the remainder of the trip. This van had driven up with 2 groups- one group doing the tour the opposite way of ours (drove north and flew south) & one doing the drive both directions (they missed the beautiful views of the Alaskan wilderness from the plane). From here we drove south from the Arctic Circle sign to return to Fairbanks. The tour itself was great, although the seats on the bus were VERY narrow (I had to have my shoulders bent forward or my arm up on the window the entire drive so my sister didn't hang off the edge into the aisle, & she STILL did a little bit) but the temperature inside the bus was cozy & the seat bottom/back was comfy. We stopped at the Yukon River Camp (there really are very few places to stop on the Dalton Highway- it is mostly deserted wilderness everywhere & this is literally the only road that goes all the way north to the bay). The food here was just ok, but to be expected in the middle of nowhere. We got to go over the only bridge that crosses the Yukon River & walk out onto the ice on the frozen river. From there we drove to Joy, Alaska & stopped at a little cabin for a few hours to try to wait for the Aurora Borealis. The northern lights never appeared for us (it was very cloudy), but that is not in the control of the tour so it was ok (we had seen them the night before). The cabin had a wood stove for heat so it was a little chilly inside, but not enough that we had to keep our heavy puffy coats on. The bathroom here (& at the Arctic Circle sign) was an outhouse so be prepared to be cold while you go if you have to use it. I didn't take my camera with me but should have bc the seat lid (the back, not the part you would sit on) was laden with icicles! After leaving Joy, we continued south back to Fairbanks, where we were dropped off at our respective hotels. The entire tour was from noon until about 4am the next day. The tour company printed off Arctic Explorer certificates for everyone on the tour as a memento of the experience & gave them to us when we arrived back at the hotel. This was an amazing, once in a lifetime experience & I can't say enough good things about the Northern Alaska Tour Company. We had a fabulous time & I highly recommend the fly/drive trip; it is 100% worth every penny you spend!

We took the Arctic Ocean Adventure southbound tour with Don K. in September 2023. It was an experience for the ages. We'll remember it for the rest of our lives! There's a quality to the Northern Alaska Tour Company experience that exceeds any other tour we've been on by a good margin. Somehow everything comes together to be much more than the sum of the parts. Everything is as advertised, but somehow better and more exciting than you would imagine. Don K. was incredibly knowledgeable and from the moment we touched down in Deadhorse offered a fascinating running commentary on everything we saw (which was a lot!) Northern Alaska's tour guides are lifelong Alaskans with a passion for the landscape and state, and it shows. Some of the things we got to see and do (non-exhaustive list): Scenic flight over the oil fields and ocean Swim in the Arctic Ocean Caribou and moose grazing on the North Slope The pipeline over hundreds of miles of its extent, and up close The Continental Divide The fascinating town of Wiseman (probably worth the trip in and of itself) Cross the Arctic Circle at the exact spot Dip a hand in the Yukon River I cannot recommend this tour, or Northern Alaska Tour Company, enough. I didn't know quite what to expect but it surpassed our expectations in every way and then some. We will most definitely be back for many other Northern Alaska Tour Company adventures!

Booked an artic flight with my cruise company for while we were in Denali. This flight departs from Heely and takes you over the Yukon River to Wiseman and Coldfoot. The main focus is to get you past the arctic circle and to visit Jack a permanent long term resident in Wiseman who lives off the land. It is about 8.5 hours. The van driver picked us up at our hotel. The flight was great in a small Navajo plane with pilot and five people. They do not want you to have more than what you can carry. No large packs, but if you have an item because you didn't know. Then you can sometimes get them to store it in the plane or lock it in the office. The Heely Airport is just an office, old gas truck and portapotty. You can purchase some merch to document your trip. You can also order a meal to pickup in Coldfoot, that helps to support the community. Jack is the main attraction. He shares about the history of his family and shows you around areas of Wiseman. It is a very rough home and life. He will show you how he survives including hunting and gardening. Lots of skins and animal parts. His home is a tight squeeze and our group arrived with another 6 person group from another location. He will show you pictures but make sure to ask to have them pass it around. He is on a schedule so he goes quick and then leads you outside to tour. Very uneven and wet terrain with mosquitoes. TAKE A NET and BUG SPRAY or ask for the spray. There is an early flight that ends at about 5pm and ours departed shortly after and returned a little after midnight (still light in June). Unfortunately, our focus was to get a visit to the Interagency Visitor Center to say we made it to the nearby Gateway to the Arctic National park. Apparently the early flight makes a stop. The visitor center closes at 8pm, so it just closed when we arrived and it was not part of our trip. If they would have arrived half hour early that would have been AMAZING, but it wasn't to be. However, on the way back we talked our driver into making a quick stop so we could get pictures at the visitor center. My biggest recommendation is for the company to realize most people want to not only cross the artic circle but also have bucket list to get to the Gateway to the Arctic National Park, so they should move the schedules around a little to allow both groups, morning and afternoon, to get to the visitor center for at least 15-20 minutes. I liked Jack, but he was not why I took the trip, he was a great bonus. Make sure you bring tip money for the pilot, driver in Coldfoot and Jack. There is also a winter tour where Jack will help you photograph the northern lights, which Jack will correct you to call it the aurora borealis.

This review is actually 6 stars, all the stars, more stars than there are in the sky. Which I saw, by the way, while I was out there north of the arctic circle. Summary: stop looking for a better itinerary, price, or date range with other tour companies. This one has you covered. They have a lot of choices, and if you don't see exactly what you want, just send an email and tell them what you have in mind. I couldn't make their dates and asked for a different schedule. And you know what? They were able to make it happen. We were well taken care of from beginning to end. I was sent enough information to understand what I was getting myself into, and was able to ask as many questions as I needed to make sure I understood the schedule and conditions. I opted for a tour that started at the office in Fairbanks, went by medium size bus/motor coach just north of the arctic circle (hey Aaron!). From there I was passed like a baton to another driver (Steve) who took me, my travel buddy, and 3 other folks further north to Coldfoot, where we would spend the night. A third driver (Claire) picked us up that night at 11pm to take even further north, to Wiseman, where we met Jack and waited for the aurora borealis to appear. We were there until about 2am. The next day those 3 other people went on some caribou spotting adventure, while my buddy and I hopped in a single prop plane and flew back to Fairbanks. How was it? Incredible. I didn't feel like I was simply in another state; I felt like I was in another world. Things I was not expecting: Black spruce. Snow that had the texture of fine sand. Grey jays. Endless hospitality. Non-stop tales about the people and the land that I never got tired of hearing, never wanted to stop listening to. Everyone with this company was so friendly and generous with their time and knowledge. I can't say thank you enough, although I tried with tips - which you should also plan to deliver if you go on these excursions. They work hard and we say that extra thank-you with a tip. I felt safe the entire time. We never did anything that felt risky. They helped me with my little bag and gave me a hand when I was stepping down into the snow. Here are the pro-tips I want to share with you. Things I learned that would have been good to know in advance. First, it's colder than you think. I manage okay in the 10-30 degree range, even with snow. But I had never been in a dry snow before, with temperatures that went well below zero and stayed there. My fingers felt like they were being burned off, my feet got cold. Every bit of me that wasn't under my parka had a chill. And I know how to layer. I had my base, my mid, my top, my coat, my ears, my hat. My failures were footwear and gloves. I saw the locals had mittens, not gloves. I think that would have been a good choice - mittens. Also, I thought that since I wouldn't be doing any hiking that I didn't need my heavier boots. However, they would have been better at holding the cold at bay. When were were standing outside in Wiseman, by the fire waiting for the aurora, I was uncomfortably cold and had to head back in the cabin and wait there. I had a hard time dealing with the cold. Take some steps to get yourself ready for that before you go. The other thing I should have brought with me is ear protection. Those soft ear plugs that you roll between your fingers and then shove into your ears would have been perfect. I mean, I love you Aaron and I wanted to hear everything you said, but the volume and quality of sound from the speaker on the bus got a little heavy in my head. Ear pro would have taken the edge off it and let me listen while taking out the high pitches. They would have also been most welcome while I was in the airplane. That's pretty much it. I mean, I could write pages and pages about the exquisite beauty of Alaska, the incredible views, the silence, the light. It would take a novel length diary for me to describe the wonderful people we met everywhere we went, from the café in Coldfoot to the midnight fire in Wiseman. But you don't need to read all that. All you need to do is get there, arrange things with Northern Alaska, and then you'll have the kind of memories that my head is filled with, that I can't stop thinking about, and that will be part of me for the rest of my life.

I recently did the Denali Winter Drive Adventure but it was a bit disappointing. We had a small group so it should have been easy to keep on time or even be ahead of schedule but for some reason the guide drove so slowly for the whole day. He knew a lot about the trees and gave some history on the park, but for the cost of this trip ($289!) I feel that there should have been more information and stories bestowed upon us. The stop at Nenana is way too long... yes, it's nice to have a restroom break and hear about the ice challenge, but there is really no reason to zig zag through the whole village. It was the shoulder season and the guide wasn't sure what would be open/available - it seems that he (or someone from the office) could easily call ahead to the visitor center to learn this information. It would have saved us a little back-and-forth driving, which would have saved time for lunch and later on the hike. Also, I wish the guide would have been more familiar with the trails to make a recommendation, rather than just having us pick from the map key. The final thing people should know is that if someone from the tour opts to take the train back, the van will wait to make sure they get on. That sounds really nice on paper, but we ended up waiting one hour for a train that didn't come, before giving up and driving back. Again, that is time that could have been used for hiking or other Denali activities.

On our honeymoon in Alaska, I made it my mission to try and see the elusive northern lights. I have traveled great distances to try and see them and have never been successful. I was hoping this would be the time - spoiler alert, not quite. I booked a trip for my husband and I to take an excursion to the Arctic Circle, spend the night in Coldfoot, and then fly back to Fairbanks. The drive on the Dalton highway was longer than expected but absolutely breathtaking. Our driver, Sabrina, was very knowledgeable and engaging. All of the stops along the way to take photos and learn the history were wonderful. The accommodations in Coldfoot are the bare minimum - but if you do not set your expectations too high, given the adventure, they suffice. Our guide, Dan, took us to Wiseman in the evening to try and see the northern lights. We had the opportunity to meet a local, Jack, and learn about year-round living in the Arctic Circle. Most of the conditions were right for us to see the northern lights, however, there was a very bright full moon and not enough solar flare activity. All of that aside, it was a beautiful evening and one well spent. Hands-down my favorite part of the excursion, given the fact that we could not see the northern lights, was flying back to Fairbanks in a bush plane. Our flight departed later so we were flying at sunset. Seeing Alaska from the sky was truly breathtaking and something I will never forget.

We took the tour to Denali with out amazing tour guide Sabreena! Sabreena could answer every question we had and had some great stories! For Covid - masks were required and we were the only group on the tour. We took the van down through Ester, made a stop in Nenana to get a snack, see a cute church, and learn about the Nenana Ice Challenge. Then on down through Healy- lunch at the park. We watched a video about the sled dogs. Sabreena knew every photo stop and where to slow down for animals. She took us on a lovely hike in Denali. And even had hot cocoa! She was lovely and prepared and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, Denali was covered by clouds - as it apparently usually is and we didn't see any wild animals. Which is no one's fault. Then we took the train back to Fairbanks- train was excellent- great views and lots of information. This is not a complaint- but things to know going in that I didn't. And in my head I was liking Denali to Mt Rainier having lived in Washington. Denali is usually behind clouds - rare to get a good view. Denali is a vast wilderness area and you will never get up close and personal with the mountain- but it's still gorgeous. We did not see any wildlife- but that's a chance you take since animals aren't on our schedule. Overall it was an excellent tour- we had fun and learned a lot!

Alaska your companies are the best! They come with transportation and pictures. All around great service!

(on cell, please excuse typos and ommisions) I just returned from Alaska after spending six days in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Coldfoot, and Wiseman with my nephew. Other than for our drive from Anchorage to Fairbanks where we rented our own SUV, the entire trip/tour was facilitated by NATC and it was a great experience. They run a tight ship but it's relaxed and enjoyable. Fairbanks to Arctic Circle NATC - The gentleman at the front desk (forgot his name) was great. He checked us in and gave us advice before we boarded our bus to the Arctic Circle. Once I heard his presentation, I felt at ease and knew this was the beginning of a great adventure and experience. Sabrina - Great driver and very knowledgeable about the area and history of the Dalton Highway and Pipeline. She was considerate and made sure we had plenty of stops on our 5+ hour plus drive up the Dalton Highway. Arctic Circle to Coldfoot / Northern Lights Excursions to Wiseman Dan - Mellow, knowledgeable, and makes you feel at ease about asking any question - even dumb ones. This man knows Dog Sledding and I wouldn't be surprised if he were a champion one day. I get the feeling he has a 150+ IQ but wants to live in nature and enjoy life instead of being part of the rat race. Safari & Atigun Pass Excursion Tim - Big Teddy Bear that enjoys his job and sharing his knowledge of the communities inside the Arctic Circle. He also not only respects and admires Alaska - he is immersed in the local culture and works to supports the local trappers that live in the remote villages near Coldfoot. The drive itself is amazing. We drove north from Coldfoot and saw Caribou and lots of Tundra. We even saw several Ravens which I did not expect to see. The Atigun Pass and River were two amazing stops. Jack - A native Alaskan but also a longtime resident of Wiseman (near Coldfoot). We got to know him during the two midnight-to-4am Northern Light outings where he opened up his cabin for us to rotate in and out of in an effort to escape the -20F temperatures. The cabin was a warm 70F. It was during these rotations that you learned two things about Jack - he can assist almost every tour participants with their camera settings and that he's very knowledgeable about a wide-range of topics. I'm sure my IQ went up about 10 points just by listening to him talk about Alaskan history, the Dalton Highway, the Pipeline, the science behind the Northern Lights, and about nature in general. The first night was a home run. Within minutes of arriving we saw aurora activity that grew over the next 1-2 hours. Jack and Dan helped us take great photos. But if the first night was a home run, the second night was and grand slam! The energy was even stronger and the saw pinks, purples, and even blues. We really got lucky on our two nights out. Coldfoot Camp Rooms: The rooms are basic. Almost military-like and it makes sense since many of the rooms are from or mimic those that were used in the 70's by those building the Highway and Pipeline. The twin beds were comfy, the bathrooms were functional and clean. The cooling and heating situation is challenging but they worked with me to help get my room below 85F. It was -10F outside and heat was required but not to that extent. Diner: I had low expectations being that it is essentially a truck stop. The food was mostly composed of breakfast, sandwich options, and a couple of salads but it was the preparation that blew me away. They raised the bar. I had one of the best Turkey Clubs I've ever had up there. Again, it's not healthy-ish and I didn't try everything on the menu but I was happy with what I ate during my 3.5 days there. The service and the folks at the front desk and kitchen were awesome and friendly. There was a guy that moved there from Richmond, VA. Another moved there from Hawaii. They made great conversations while I waited for my takeout as the diner was closed to tourist due to covid. Return Flight: I forgot the pilot's and I feel bad about it because he was great. We flew a Bush Plane - Piper Cherokee - from Coldfoot to Fairbanks. It seated seven plus the pilot. I believe it was the smallest plane I've ever been on but the views were breathtaking and the pilot allowed us to ask him questions using the provided headphones and microphone. What a great way to close out our trip. Bucket List Items: Northern Lights Arctic Circle Dalton Highway Walked on Frozen Rivers (Yukon & Atigun) Atigun Pass Visit Alaska Sub-Zero Fahrenheit Climate
