Riding the Dalton Highway in itself is an amazing experience!! Without a doubt one of the coolest things we have ever done. Our guide was so capable and made sure that we got the most out of our experience from scenic views, to fantastic pictures, to the best dinner we could have ever imagined at Yukon River Camp. What a trip, would highly recommend this to anyone traveling in the area!!

Loved the tour! We got clear skies and were able to see a lot of northern lights. A special shoutout to our awesome tour guide Coltin who stopped at multiple points for us to capture some amazing photos with the northern lights as well as at the Artic Circle.

We had a fantastic time and a pretty smooth ride along the Dalton Highway. Food at the Yukon River Camp was surprisingly nice for the middle of the winter near arctic’s circle. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and made sure we got all the best aurora watching spots along the road.

This was by far the best tour I did in Alaska. The scenery was breathtaking and Jessica our guide was exceptional! She made the tour 1000x better, she was fun, knowledgeable and very caring with all of us.
