This was really fun. It’s a very long day on the road, so prepare yourself for that, but all the stops along the way didn’t make it seem so bad. Stopping at the Yukon and the pipelines were welcome surprises and the food at the stop was amazing. Overall great experience... and how cool is it to say you went to the Arctic?!

Thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Started out & the air conditioning in the van was malfunctioning. Our guide, Tony, returned to the office & we moved to another van so as to assure a comfortable ride on the long trip. Tony shared a lot of information along the way, answering all of our many questions, & made the long trip even more enjoyable. Saw a lot of beautiful scenery, glad to be on the Dalton Highway, made a stop at the pipeline, to the Arctic Circle & even the frozen tundra. Had lunch and dinner at the Yukon Camp. Food was good for both meals. Worker there was from a town close to my hometown & was friends with my coworker! It is a long trip but totally worth it.
