Nikolai was an excellent guide. He was professional, knowledgeable, and placed safety first. He educated our small group about so many aspects of Alaskan life that I had not known or expected.
Rainer and Ted from Alaska Wildlife did an excellent explaining the background history and essential information relating to the aurora and life in Alaska. They were friendly and engaged us in conversation throughout the 14 hour trip. As the night had heavy snow fall and the sky was overcast, they tried their best to be on the look out for aurora which we were hoping to see. We finally had a sighting by the Yukon river.
It was an incredible experience. Visiting the Arctic circle was amazing (and very very cold!).
Unfortunately Mother Nature didn't play ball and we didn't see the northern lights but it was still a really good experience.
Our guide was very informative and answered all my questions!
