Private Arctic Circle Expedition from Fairbanks

The Arctic Circle expedition with Ian was absolutely fabulous! We took the trip on Thanksgiving day. The entire trip was very well arranged and professionally conducted. Ian picked us up from the airport and after a brief stop at the hotel to drop our luggage and at a gas station to pick up some snacks and drinks, we were on our way. Ian was sure that were briefed on the safety instructions including the fact that there was a satellite texting device on board in case it was needed. There was also a CB radio which Ian used to communicate with the other truck drivers on the road to ensure that others knew of our presence on the highway when he deemed it necessary when turning around corners and going up steep slopes. We made multiple stops along the way and Ian explained the topology and geography of the region and was courteous when we had questions. Since it was Thanksgiving day, he made sure that we had food available at the dinner stop (Yukon River Camp) that catered to our dietary requirements. On the way back from the Arctic Circle, we were chasing the Aurora and Ian made frequent stops along the way to make sure that we did not miss them. He went beyond the time allocated for the tour just to make sure that we were completely satisfied with the tour. We would highly recommend this tour to everyone. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Ian! We hope to be back.

This was the best trip we have ever taken!!! Ian is an phenomenal guide. His military background and his knowledge of the roads made for a safe and secure trip. He communicated well with the truckers on the road to ensure safety at all times. His vehicle is well maintained as well. He is knowledgeable on so many subjects it made the trip interesting. He pointed out so many different things including the wolf we saw. We did see the norther lights and he pointed out what to look for. We stopped several times to view them. He even sent us the pictures he took. I would take this trip again with him or any other trip in a heartbeat. He did not disappoint us at all! We went early April 2024

The owner/driver cancelled at the last minute(1 hour before our pick up). Would not recommend. We now had to find another company at the last minute and hope there would be availability for a party of 5.

Hello! I do apologize for having to cancel! I was quite ill that day and wouldn't wanted to have spread the illness to your party. I hope you were able to find accommodations with another tour company with the references I provided.
