Fairbanks, AK: River Boat Discovery with Lunch

  • Enjoy an included lunch, then step aboard the Sternwheeler Discovery and explore the “last frontier” by river to uncover Alaska’s rich culture and history. You’ll disembark the boat and take a tour of the Chena Indian Village Living Museum to learn about the Athabascan tribe’s way of life and how they thrived in the harsh Arctic. Then, you’ll see a bush pilot demonstration as a plane takes off and lands right on the water next to the boat and hear how these pilots connect the remote destinations in Alaska to civilization. Afterward, meet the dogs and drivers at Trail Breaker Kennel, home of the late 4-time Iditarod champion Susan Butcher. You’ll also dock at Steamboat Landing, a throwback to trading posts where you can shop for unique souvenirs. This is a 3-hour river journey you won’t want to miss. Duration approximately 3 hour(s). Transportation is included. A minimum of 5 passenger(s) is required to operate this option.

    This option must be booked at least 48 hours prior, as final counts are required.
    A visit to Trail Breaker Kennel is already included in your tour. This River Boat option also includes it, as you will watch a demonstration from the ship as one of the many featured Alaskan experiences. When you visit the kennel as part of the main tour, it will be in our Collette group only, for a private more in-depth experience.

Talkeetna, AK: Bird's Eye View of Denali with Glac

  • Soar among the peaks of Denali National Park during this incredible flightseeing experience. Behold the South Face of Denali and the jagged peaks of Mount Huntington and Moose’s Tooth. Take in the vast expanse of the Great Gorge and make a mid-flight stop for a walk on a glacier. As you step off the plane and out into the quiet stillness, you’ll get a sense of the scale of the Alaskan Range paired with incomparable views. Duration approximately 2.5 hour(s). Transportation is included. A minimum of 1 passenger(s) is required to operate this option.
