“Jason was a fantastic guide and went out of his way to make sure we had an unique experience by taking us for a short hike in the Gates of the Arctic national park, seeing the northern lights, and visiting Sebastian Schnuelle’s home and meeting Libby Riddles there and cooking us great meals and going out of his way to make I had great vegan things to eat , too!” – Lia LaPiana, Alexandira, Virginia (2014 Alaska Polar Bear & Northern Lights Tour)
