Question: What other costs should I budget for in addition to the tour cost?
Answer: Each tour has an inclusive and exclusive section that you should read thoroughly. In general a few additional expenses you can expect to be responsible for are your airfare, food, beverages, gas, additional insurance, and additional activities.
Question: Can I ship my gear ahead for the tour?
Answer: You are welcome to ship gear ahead on most of our tours. Please check with the lead guide for the tour you are joining for a mailing address.
Question: Should I arrive early?
Answer: It is always a good idea to arrive early to allow time for things like lost luggage and jet lag. This is also a good time to pick up souvenirs and do some additional off the bike activities.
Question: What about those Alaskan mosquitos?
Answer: The stories are blown way out of proportion, although they can be a bit bothersome at times. If they are bothering you, the best defence is 100% deet.
Question: What about those Alaskan Bears?
Answer: Although bears in Alaska can be dangerous the drivers in Alaska pose a much more serious threat. Some common sense and not approaching or feeding bears should keep you safe. If it makes you feel better, you can take a can of bear spray along.
Question: Do I need dirt riding experience to ride to Prudhoe Bay?
Answer: Yes. We definitely recommend that you have dirt riding experience for any tour that travels on dirt/gravel roads. The ride to Prudhoe Bay can be very muddy in the rain and in construction Zones. There is also sections of deep gravel and broken pavement to travel over. We offer several tours at different difficulty levels. Please call us and we can suggest a tour that fits your riding ability.
Question: What temperature should I expect when riding in Alaska?
Answer: We suggest you should be prepared to ride between 40 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit (between 4 and 26 degrees Celsius)
