Aaron was a great guide! It was a very informative and wonderful tour! He had lots of information and would answer any questions you may have. We had a great experience at the Yukon River camp- great food and service. It was a very safe way to experience the Artic. There were plenty of photo opportunities! We got to do some sleigh riding and Aaron made sure we continued to look for the northern lights. With the luck of great weather and Aaron’s searching we were able to see them! He was very willing to add extra stops when searching for the northern lights.

I could not ask for a better tour and our tour guide Rob was very kind and professional. His experience in Alaska made the tour very informative which I enjoyed immensely. I expected the tour would be a bit boring on the way to the artic circle. But it wasn’t the case. The views are fantastic and most importantly Rob kept us entertained by sharing Alaskan culture and his stories in Alaska. It was very fulfilling and exceeded my expectations. I will definitely come back to visit and try other flight tours next time.
