Why Go Guided?

Not everyone has several months to spend riding up the Arctic Ocean. The biggest benefit of choosing an Arctic Moto Tour is that you can cut WEEKS out of what a trip like this would normally take! Fly into Whitehorse with your riding gear, hop on one our meticulously cared for motorcycles, and let our local guides take care of the tedious logistics.

Local route knowledge saves time and reduces risk. Our team tracks current road work, river conditions, ferry schedules, and the practical details that matter in the North. You get smoother days and more riding.

We provide pre-ride checklists, packing guidance for northern weather, and clear daily plans. You will know where to fuel, where to rest, and what is ahead each day.

Choosing to ride with Arctic Motorcycle Adventures  is the most direct path to a successful ride on the Dempster Highway and the best of the Yukon and Northwest Territories.

AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES

Experience the North through its people

Experience the North through its people on our adventure motorcycle tours across the Yukon and the Dempster Highway. Riders may meet local First Nations community members, learn about traditional ways of life that continue in a remote, unforgiving landscape, and travel with respect through First Nations traditional territories in the Yukon and NWT, including the Dempster region. Our guides share the story of the Klondike Gold Rush and the modern history of the Yukon, adding context to the rivers, trading routes, and communities you pass. These motorcycle tours prioritize cultural respect, safe travel, and meaningful encounters, so your ride to the Arctic Ocean feels as authentic as the terrain itself.
