WONDERFUL - LONG BUT SO WORTH IT!!!

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a wonderful tour! It is LONG - 1pm to somewhere between 2:30-5:00am, depending on road conditions and Aurora activity - but SO worth it! Riding the Dalton highway (of Ice Road Truckers fame), walking on (and sledding down to) the frozen Yukon River, seeing tundra and several different types of forests - including an area named the “enchanted forest” because moisture from the Yukon River deposits many layers of snow and ice on the trees, creating a magical-looking scene - along with glimpses of wildlife. Lots of photo ops! And the whole drive back is during the prime time to see the Aurora. Elijah, our tour guide, was wonderful - a great storyteller, very knowledgeable about the area, local traditions, etc., enthusiastic, encouraging, responsive to the needs and desires of the group - AND a competent, careful driver on the icy roads, coordinating with the truckers by CB radio to keep everyone safe. He kept us entertained for the entire 14+ hour trip. And he knows the best places to pull off the road for photos or to view the lights (not many places to do that on those roads). We had NO issues - just a lot of fun. The best part? We were far enough north that we got to see a beautiful, long Northern Lights display, even though Fairbanks itself has been overcast most of the week! I HIGHLY recommend this tour! A couple of tips: (1) Dress for the weather but in layers - it can be quite a bit warmer than Fairbanks some places and quite a bit colder than Fairbanks in others - and quite windy. Particularly your feet - standing outside watching the lights my feet got pretty cold. Dressing in layers helps handle weather changes along the way, plus riding in a heated van in between. 2) You might want to bring an extra battery for your phone. Again, this trip is LONG. 3) Try to schedule this trip when you’re not too exhausted from other touring. All of the Aurora tours are, by necessity, really late nights. But the length of this one would have been hard if we had been really tired already.

Great guide and...

Great guide and itinerary, lots of information and kept things very entertaining Would do this tour again!

A bitterly cold trip full of northern wonders

Published on Jan, 2025

Elijah was a great guide full of information and stories about all the sites we passed on our way to the arctic circle. Even when most of the tour was ready to lose hope of seeing the lights he kept us motivated. We ended seeing a wonderful show of the northern lights and a number of beautiful places along the way.

Wonderful Northern Lights at Arctic Circle!

Published on Jan, 2025

Published on Jan, 2025

Best one day Road trip ever! Stops along the way were all amazing and we're all relevant. Food was great and YRC was a highlight with a walk on the frozen Yukon river.
