Arctic Circle Full-Day Adventure from Fairbanks

Tour was excellent. A lot of driving (obviously) but Caleb made it fun. Very knowledgeable and pointed out quite a few fishing holes for us to hit the following day. Had a great time and would highly recommend.

The van you take is kind of loud to begin with. The day started around 730 with a trip to a gas station/restaurant to order food for breakfast or anything you might want until dinner time around 430p. The first stop was a creek or something. Nothing but walking around in a cloud of mosquitos, no scenic views, just wondering why we're stopping... Next one was about the same but had a welcome to Dalton highway sign. I'd definitely recommend mosquito repellent at least for these spots. The day picked up with a stop at one of the access points of the pipeline. That was really cool to see it up close and personal. There was another scenic spot where you walk on the soft tundra ground by finger mountain. Last stop was the most disappointing at the Arctic Circle sign. It needs a coat of paint. The road is VERY rough going to the sign but I guess how can you not go once you're that far north? The road in general is very rough and the van is very loud and squeaky. When you first start out you're sure the doors or the passenger seat will just fly off. I think if I knew it'd be so rocky I wouldn't have gone since I'm pregnant.. Dinner stop is at a Yukon river camp. The portions are actually huge and the pie was good. You stop here on the way up and back, which is nice for bathroom breaks with actual plumbing. I think the trip could be a little shorter if some of the first couple stops were cut out. I think we would've liked to stop at the touristy pipeline stop as well as the access point as it was one of the coolest aspects of the tour. The tundra at finger mountain was my favorite stop and they even had wild blueberries. Our tour took about 14 hours beginning to end but it would be much longer if it rained or was icy!

Fascinating, fun trip with well-informed guide. A look into local lifestyle in a remote section of Alaska.

The van to get us to the Arctic Circle was nice inside but rode terrible, of course the road was awful. Our driver did her best to give us good information of the pipeline we stopped at & took the time to take pictures of our group.

Despite being a long ride, it was an awesome trip, because of our guide Randy, very informative, funny guy and informative. The scenery in the way was really beautiful. All the stops very memorable.

Dom our tour driver did not stop at all the stops and there was no commentary - the scenery was fantastic and stunning well worth the drive just needed a better tour driver.

Our guide Randy from 1st Alaska Tour was great ! He is very experienced in outdoor survival especially winter survival due to his prior experience in outdoor survival for the past 30 years not forgetting to add that he is a former US marine. During the trip, he gave us a lot of information on Alaska wildlife and share with us on his past encounters during his remote stay in the wilderness. He made numerous stops on the way to the Artic Circle for scenic views and photo shots, and on our way back we also manage to catch the beautiful sunset. I must say 1st Alaska Tour is a very good tour agency with experienced guides and strongly recommend using them for their professionalism.

Great trip. Gary our tour guide had lots of interesting facts to share with us. Even though it was a long day well worth the time.

Was a very interesting day. A lot of miles covered and Dave gave great commentary.

Complete waste of 12-14 hours. Nothing to see and nothing to experience. Yes, one can claim that she/he was on the arctic circle. That's all. The road was brutal and 10 hours on non-paved road took a toll on us.
