点评:We had an amazing experience for our family with kids touring Point Barrow in Utqiagvik with 71 North Tours today. We contacted them through their website for booking. Keep in mind that this is the only tour where they are allowed to take us to the extreme end of the US North since they are locals here and have approvals to do so. This means you are getting the most unique experience in this tour provided by 71 North tours. On the day of tour, we were first greeted by the tour operator Joni who willl meet you at your hotel. She collected payment by credit card before starting the trip. Later, the tour vehicle arrived. It's a Ford Excursion 10 seater. What's amazing is the room we had for 7 of us in the long car including our kids. We had our personal requirement to put our booster seats for both the kids which we have brought along and they allowed us. The tour itself is to take us to Point Barrow and back. After a few miles of driving, the real experience starts. This tour goes off-road and into the sands of the beach that the Artic ocean has built. You have seat belts for safety, so you don't have to worry. You will cross bones of whales, seal and also many migratory birds that perch on the ice. The best part is that we got to see a polar bear just 100 feet away from us. Our tour guide Austin is a champ who not only kept explaining about the how locals do things, but also answered tons of questions from our tour group. He will stop at safe points in the trip for you to take photos for memories to cherish. Since our kids learn American Football at school, we asked them if they could do a quick stop for a photo in the northernmost football field in the world next to the Arctic ocean and they gracefully accepted. It's home to the Barrow Whalers team. It's one of the best experiences for our family and especially our kids are going to talk about it for days to come. This tour is not for people who may feel sick from bumpy rides, are pregnant or have medical conditions that require you to be riding in a still position. However, this ride fits people of all ages including kids. Overall, at the end of the tour, you will feel you received value for the money you spent on this tour. Like I said before, this tour is very unique than all other tours in the area and it's exclusively driven by the locals who have permissions to the protected area covered in the tour which other operators can't make it. So, it's worth the price you pay for.
