PLEASE NOTE:  Guest safety always takes precedence over convenience.  The return on second day of the Northbound tour is by small plane.  Small plane flying in Alaska's Arctic can be delayed or even cancelled on occasion due to weather.   If the weather requires us to alter the return method of travel from air to ground it will be done as an equal exchange of travel.
