Very informative trip from Cold Foot back to Fairbanks..both guides Vanessa and Champ did an excellent job explaining the vast expanse of Arctic Tundra...long trip but engaging via stories, poems,etc.

16 hour bus trip to the Arctic Circle from Fairbanks.. Our bus did NOT have air conditioning. We sweltered and melted the entire trip. The driver and management did nothing to fix the situation. Horrible experience. Think twice about booking with this company. Their buses do NOT have air conditioning.

Thank you for joining us. Please call our office at: 907-474-8600 to share your experience with us directly. What date did you travel and who was your guide. Our coaches do have air conditioning. This would be a mechanical that would be addressed in a post trip inspection. Which, doesn't help while on the tour but if you communicate directly with our office we can address it with you directly. Most do find our adventures enjoyable and we are sorry you did not. Again, please call our office. Kathy Northern Alaska Tour Company
