This trip was amazing!!
Yes - it is a really long road trip, do you need to be prepared. Bring your snacks, phone, kindle, charger, etc…and get ready to sit. You will lose all cell service for about 10 hrs of the trip - so download a book or your fave show.
The van was big and the tour group size was small. We did not feel cramped and had a bit room. Which was amazing for a 14 hr roadtrip.
We stopped at a trail head - where we saw sled dogs. Then onto the Dalton highway, the magical forest, Yukon Base Camp for dinner (which was really good), then onto to cross the Arctic Circle. There were plenty of bathroom breaks on the way up, but a few less on the way back.
On the way back - we chased the lights! Mother Nature put on an amazing show and we from spot to spot to see it! Best part - the tour guide had a camera and made sure to get photographs of all of us with the lights behind us, which he airdropped us at the end of the tour!! He also shared his photos/videos of the lights and he took some dash cam videos on the way up.
Overall - this was an excellent tour choice and I would highly recommend!!!
