  2. Private reindeer tour and forest walk in Fairbanks, Fairbanks2

    2. Private reindeer tour and forest walk in Fairbanks

    5.0· 4 reviews· 45 min

    Forty-five minutes of close encounters with reindeer — learn their history, then explore the black spruce forest alongside them.

    I had a wonderful experience on the reindeer walk with my friends. Our guide, Virginia, shared fascinating insights about the history of reindeer in Alaska. The activity was low energy, making it a perfect fit for this part of our tour. The reindeer were adorable, and we captured many great photos. I highly recommend this relaxed outdoor experience.femilicious

    Fantastic location with an outstanding guide. We arrived first at the ice bar, and he even joined us in the hot spring to take our photos.Mark F
  4. Riverboat Discovery Tour in Fairbanks, Fairbanks4

    4. Riverboat Discovery Tour in Fairbanks

    4.6· 1325 reviews· 3 hours

    Three-hour riverboat cruise featuring Alaskan culture, Susan Butcher's sled dog kennel, and a visit to Chena Indian Village.

    This was an absolute waste of time. We traveled down the Chena River for a short distance before turning back. The presentations on the shore felt cheesy and unprofessional. The narrator spent too much time talking about the family that owns the riverboat, which was not of interest to anyone. We were even instructed to wave at the matriarch in her yard, but it could have easily been a high school student pretending to be an elderly woman.michaelpY2071CM
