Hear what our past clients have to say!

"I am eternally grateful and impressed. I felt safe and in good hands the entire time. I had a great time. Thank you for the great job that you do every day..." Gus M. (North Pole 3 Day Dogsled Expedition)
"...I also appreciate all the "extra" touches you used to make us much more entertained, comfortable and happy; especially the golf, dogsledding, skiing, treats, cheeses, and of course the wine and Grand Khaan vodka. The stories are fun to tell and it was all made so much better due to your wonderful organization and cheerful leadership. I had the best time....ever!" -Larry K. (North Pole Expeditionary Champagne Flight 2007)

"While interacting with other teams at Patriot Hills we realized how lucky we were to choose PolarExplorers as our guides. Very well done from start to finish." -Richard G. (South Pole Two Degree Ski Expedition 2007)

"Our guide did a great job in all areas. His very positive attitude, keeping us working as a team, and finding ways to make every aspect of every detail work effeciently stands out the most. My overall impression of the expedition was absolutely fantastic.Words can't really explain... from the extremely well run and organized expedition to the feeling of accomplishment in skiing that distance to the Pole, it is a wonderful impression that will stay with me forever." -Laurie G. (South Pole Two Degree Ski Expedition 2007)

"Thank you so much for the wonderful feeling of contentment and satisfaction that I got from this trip. I have no words to describe how much your help, support, consideration and thoughtfullness means to me. Every minute of our adventure will be a great lifetime memory that I will always cherish." -Sara K. (South Pole Last Degree Ski Expedition 2007)

"You know how to do this experience exactly right. I can't imagine anything that could make the trip any better. It was superb!!"
-Sandy C. (North Pole Champagne Flight 2006)
"At the very outset I would like to thank you for the amazing support, friendship - well actually just about everything to make a dream into a reality. NWP rocks and you, Rick, Keith and Dirk are absolutely amazing and wonderful human beings."
-Ajeet B. ( North Pole Last Degree Ski Expedition 2006)
" I had an absolutely wonderful time with our North Pole experience and a large part of the credit is due to your personal involvment with us. I'll happily give a testimonial for you any time it would be helpful. Again, many thanks for all you've done."
-Chuck C. (North Pole Champagne Flight 2006)
"Overall my expedition was excellent! The guides were by far the most approachable I've worked with, always going the extra mile and asking for our feedback. Our opinions mattered and were taken into consideration and often implemented. If you are thinking of going to the North Pole - go for it!!! The North Pole is a magical place not only in imagination but in experience as well. To stand at the top of the world where time means nothing and living in the now truly means everything is a unique and lasting memory that I will never forget! Great trip. I look forward to others. I recommend without hesitation NWP!"
-Kevin D. (North Pole Ski Expedition 2005)
"This was a great experience. Outstanding leadership & travel companions. I was totally satisfied."
-Bob S. (North Pole Champagne Flight 2005)
"For me this was the most extreme challege ever. The guides were very helpful and supportive. My advise is to listen to the guides advice before going, and during the trip. Be in excellent condition and keep a good attitude even though you are exhausted." - Evalyn C. (North Pole "Final Dash" Dogsledding 2006)
"A very worthwhile trip. Go for it - it's the trip of a lifetime. The guides were excellent."
-Jere F. (North Pole Champagne Flight 2005)
"...talking of 'extra effort,' I would like to say I really appreciate all the 'after sales' effort you have all made, especially on the photos and DVD. I think this is one of the points which lifts you above your competition, a point which you should all be proud of and maybe a pont which you should market more." - Paul A. (North Pole Ski Expedition 2005)
"The Northwest Passage is in a world of its own...unique...exhilarating and giving complete satisfaction to the curious adventurer. Worth every ounce of effort. An accomplishment in my mind. They answered my every question"
- David J. (South Pole Champagne Flight 2004, North Pole Champagne Flight 1999)
"My first glimpse of the Pole marker as we were approaching on our skis willstay with me forever. It's a place I'm unlikely to be again. Even if by some strange chance I find myself there again, to see it for the first time, and to have made it there myself on skis, it's a feeling I don't think I will ever duplicate."
-Scott A. (South Pole Ski Expedition 2005)
"What would I say about my experience with The Northwest Passage? A+. Class Outfit. Well organized. Reliable. Good People. Fun."
- Peter S. (North Pole Champagne Flight 2000)

- Cedric H. (North Pole Ski Expedition 2001)
"It was a great trip. I had a great time. I'm glad I'm here. I wouldn't have missed this for the world."
- Dick G. (North Pole Dogsled & Ski Expedition 1993)

- Geneve H. (North Pole Dogsled & Ski Expedition 1995)

the maze."

fly to the north pole
Client tip #4
"It's going to be one of the best memories of your life. But believe everything you are told about the cold...at the Pole it is freezing plus! Follow the clothing - gloves and boots recommendations especially -

no tolerance for "tough guys."
 
skiing to the Noth Pole
Client tip # 8

For me the shakedown trip and the expedition gave me the opportunity to escape my world and live a dream. I was in a
land of no phones, no faxes,
no business emergencies - a cold heaven. Based on the trip
I was able to readjust some personal values which have improved my life."
