My wife, our grandson and I went on the arctic circle tour and had a fantastic time! While the drive was long and bumpy- our guide Keaton kept the conversation interesting and pointed out many facts about the area and Alaska. Also we learned a lot about mushing and related races. Keaton and his wife compete in these races including the Iditarod and is very passionate and knowledgeable about the subject. The conversation and interesting facts made the tour relaxing and fun. The landscape was beautiful and the stops along the way were great. We were able to see a moose on the way back and Keaton stopped the van for a good look. If you are prepared for a long van ride - you should have a great time.
Keaton was nothing short of amazing! He's a great driver, chill yet full of facts. Definitely worth booking!
We wanted to go to the Arctic Circle but did not feel comfortable driving by ourselves in such a remote area that we didn't know (and we were expressly forbidden to drive our rental car on the Dalton Highway). Fortunately, our driver and guide Keaton is very experienced and knowledgeable, as well as friendly and fun to talk to. He provided sandwiches and snacks, and called ahead to the Yukon River Camp so we could order food there. We had a beautiful mostly sunny day, and seeing the vast Alaskan wilderness was truly impressive.
This trip was nothing short of amazing. It is indeed a long and grueling ride, but our guide Keaton, was super knowledgable and really fun to talk with. He answered my endless questions about the drive, the locations, and all things Alaska. He also let me pick his brain about all things dog mushing, which made the time fly by. It was a supr beautiful fall day, with tons of fall foliage. He made sure we had snacks, food, water and gatorade and helped us pre-order our lunches as the Yukon River Camp. He also had all the safety gear that was required for such an epic trip. Thank you Keaton, you really made our day.
