Once in a lifetime... - This tour was a last minute change for my party of 5 as our prior vendor had to cancel last minute. Sultan was responsive and had texted me right away about the booking. The tour is long but we had fun. He communicated the pit stops for photo ops and bio breaks. We initially brought our own sandiches since it was a 10+ hour tour but he did bring us to a truck stop where we were able to order some food ahead of time. They offered Pho and Bahn Mi sandwiches. Not the best but also not the worst especially if you don't have food. There's a microwave you can use and also snacks for purchase. This is the place to get some souviers as well. There were a total of 8 on the tour which I guess made for a more "comfortable" ride. The road is gravel and lots of potholes so its going to be bumpy. There is a reason car rental places do not want you driving the Dalton Highway. So if you're expecting a boujie smooth ride like a fancy VIP - don't bother going to the Arctic Circle. If you're up for it, Sultan knows his stuff. For the price, it was worth it. Save your sanity driving 4+ hours one way in the middle of nowhere with no signal. Sultan even took videos and photos of us during one of the stops as we were fortunate to see the Northern Lights on our way back.

Not to be missed - Amazing experience. Sultan is the best host for this. He has been doing this for more than 25 years now, still the enthusiasm was very much there. He made sure we reached Arctic Circle just before sunset. He got us to the best spots for Northern Lights

Fantastic trip and great guide! - Sultan was great! He doesn’t have a microphone, so make sure to sit in the first row so you can hear him and ask him questions. He will gladly answer anything and is very knowledgeable. He did a good job of chasing the northern lights and made the trip well worth the time and money!

Every Penny Worth! - No doubt, one of the best experiences ever. Don't try to go by yourself if you don't got any experience driving on dangerous road, It's much more dangerous than you think. Trust the driver; he will give you more than you expect!

Amazing Experience - We had a fantastic experience throughout our journey from Fairbanks to Arctic circle. Sultan was wonderful, he picked us up promptly, took care of us. He was very enthusiastic and patient to show us the enchanted forest, arctic circle and especially Northern lights. He was very knowledgeable on chasing Aurora. We stopped multiple times to chase the best of best Northern light. Totally an amazing experience. I highly recommend this Tour.

Highly recommended tour operator - Great day with Sultan. He was prompt picking us up and others at all the locations. He gave great insight and information about the day to set expectations. He gave good information as we traveled without narrating the who 12 hour trip. The folks at the Youkon River stop where we had dinner clearly know him and respect him. Good stop and good community people along the Dalton Highway. We stopped long enough and often enough to not feel trapped or restless in the van for the 6 hours out and the 6 hours back.
The landscape along the route is amazing and enthralling. Sultan points out elements of significance, again without the lecture narrative. We became friendly with our co-travelers and really enjoyed the trip.
We were very fortunate to have great clear sky and while the Aurora were a low KP (3.5 ish) they were still spectacular ghosts in the sky. Sultan shared his photography with us (iPhone airdrop or WhatsApp) and he did a great job. His experience really shows on this trip. As a 25+ year UPS person I would not have wanted to drive those roads, and doing so for 12 hours is impressive. My sister felt safe in the van and didn't get motion sick (surprisingly). Though I will say the roads are rough and this is not a pleasure ride in a limo, that road is literally the Ice Road Truckers road.
We highly recommend the trip and more so with Sultan. If you are more timid and want constant narrative please take the big bus to coldfoot. I would not have preferred that style. Sultan made the trip great

A waist of our time and money. - The was the most boring tour we have ever taken, and we have taken plenty. The only reason it got a 2 is due to the friendly driver. In fact we asked him to turn around after an hour and take us back to Fairbanks. We saw nothing but the same trees and bushes the whole time we were in the van.
