Circulo polar ártico y aurora boreal - Dalton Highway Tour





Descripción
Viaje al norte desde Fairbanks por la autopista Dalton, una de las carreteras más remotas y accesibles al norte en vehículo, hasta el círculo polar ártico. Pasarás el día adentrándote más en el extremo norte de Alaska a medida que el bosque se adelgaza y el paisaje se abre en amplios valles y tundra. Hacemos varias paradas panorámicas en miradores para fotos y paseos cortos a lo largo del día, incluido el tiempo en la señal del Círculo Polar Ártico (66°33′N). A la vuelta, el viaje nocturno está programado para las horas de máxima audiencia de auroras, con la oportunidad de ver las auroras boreales. Su guía utiliza pronósticos de aurora en tiempo real para elegir las mejores paradas y tiempos. Esta es principalmente una experiencia basada en la carretera con caminatas cortas y fáciles y comentarios continuos de su guía experto en Alaska. Los grupos están limitados a 6 personas en una nueva camioneta de pasajeros de 11 personas totalmente equipada para las condiciones del Ártico, con asientos de ventana garantizados, un ritmo sin prisas, descansos regulares y flexibilidad, además de aperitivos, agua y bebidas calientes.

A wonderful experience with Ron to Arctic circle from Fairbanks! Ron was an excellent tour guide and driver to take a small group of us to Arctic circle in his van on Arpil 4th. He takes only 6 passengers at a time and the smal group tour gives you a very personal experience as opposed to 14-15 people tour. We had enough space to put our bags and move around in the van which was a very positive experience for a long 14 hour trip. Ron gave us plenty of time to see the attractions and take pictures on our way to Arctic circle through Dalton highway. He stopped our van to watch the northern lights when they appeared on the sky on our way back from Arctic circle. He helped us to take pictures and allowed us to spend enough time to enjoy the natural wonder! He carries a satellite phone during the trip to manage emergencies and being a very safe driver, he coordinates with the oil tankers and truck transporters on Dalton Highway to make a safe passage. Overall our experience was excellent during this trip and will definitely recommend Ron for Arctic circle tour.
Our tour guide, Ron, was excellent. He was well-versed about the Dalton Highway, the Arctic Circle, and the Northern Lights. Ron explained the significance of the Dalton as we rode along. His discussions allowed room for engagement, whereby it became a mini Q&A session throughout the trip. He followed the above approach with each segment of our trip from the Dalton to the Arctic Circle, to searching for the Northern Lights, which was a success.
I had the absolute best time taking the tour. The journey was form 12PM to 3AM, and I was very skeptical having to sit in the van for a long time, but trust me, time flew by. Was picked up on time and to begin with the van was not crowded, we had ample space to switch places, had tons of stop from time to time to go out and stretch. The guide was explaining stuff throughout the journey, even on the ride back, made sure we were all comfortable with the temperature, gave us free snacks and water as well. On our way back, we stopped by for taking pictures of the auroras, even though he didn't have to, he made sure sure everyone was okay with stopping and we took plenty of pictures. Safety wise, the van was in very good condition, we had satellite phones, he even had a Starlink. He did not even accept a tip. I am telling you, you will not regret choosing this experience. He was family to me!!
We had an incredible experience on Midnight Sky’s Arctic Circle & Northern Lights Tour, easily a 5-star outing from start to finish. Our driver, Ron, was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, and you could tell he genuinely cared about the experience of everyone on the tour. One detail that really stood out was how consistently he communicated upcoming stops and bio breaks along the route, something that often gets overlooked on other tours, but makes a big difference over a long day/night. What truly set this tour apart, though, was the small group size. It created a much more personal and flexible experience. We were able to pull over for photos whenever opportunities presented themselves and even take advantage of a few unique, unplanned moments along the way. It’s hard to imagine getting that same experience on a large 40-passenger bus where timing and logistics limit flexibility. If (or more realistically, when) we return, we’ll absolutely be booking with Midnight Sky again to try more of their tours. Pro tip: Book directly through Midnight Sky’s website, third-party sites take a sizable commission from the tour operator, and going direct helps support the business while often giving you better communication. Highly recommend.
We had a great excursion with our guide, Ron. He was very knowledgeable about Alaska in general as well as the Arctic Circle. He let us know what to expect all along the way, took photos of our group for us, made some delicious hot chocolate, and even offered a sledding saucer for a ride down the hill at the Yukon River boat ramp. We didn’t see a lot of wildlife this time of year, but did see some amazing landscapes. And since fewer than 1% of humans get to the Arctic Circle, we are now officially “one percenters” of the best kind!
A fantastic experience! Ron was our excellent guide, and he gave us some history, science, engineering, flora and fauna, atmospheric, and local info, all while on a picturesque drive into the interior of Alaska! We had quite a few stops to see the changing landscape and stretch our legs. It was cold, so definitely dress for weather. After we hit the Arctic Circle, we chased the Northern Lights on our way back. Ron used an uplink to periodically see the light forecast, and we were able to stop for pictures a few times. The lights were amazing! This was my favorite tour from my trip, and I highly recommend it, especially for those game for a little adventure... 100% worth taking! Thanks Ron!
Wonderful tour of remote Alaska along the Dalton Highway. Even though it was about 14 hours, it was a comfortable ride with enough stops along the way to the Arctic Circle and back. Ron was a great guide who provided interesting commentary. The Alaskan wilderness was beautiful and we saw the Northern lights on the way back to Fairbanks.
Really beautiful and worth visiting Really appreciate Ron for his incredible knowledge and planning
Our guide Ron was exceptional! He only runs small groups so everyone gets their personal attention. He is very energetic, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about what he’s doing! We had a fun trip, saw beautiful northern lights, and Ron helped us take a lot of nice.pictures! The experience was absolutely amazing!
Ron is clearly knowledgeable about the Northern Lights and shared several cool apps he used to track the likelihood and strength of the lights during the drive down. We were able to get some great photos on a night where the lights weren’t particularly strong.
