Great tour!

Gold Dredge 8 Historic Tour
aprilkS7745VE, Sep 2026
Great tour!
The tour was great because of the tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable because he actually worked on the pipeline and the dredger 8. There was a bit of confusion when we arrived. We checked in but weren’t given a ticket and when we walked in we were asked for a ticket. It wasn’t a big thing but we weren’t given an overview of where to go, bathroom facilities etc until the guide arrived. Once the guide arrived we were kept informed. Overall it was a great tour and we learned a great deal.

Excellent experience. Highly recommend
Exceeded expectations. This is more than just seeing a dredge. You will also get to see a section of the Alaskan pipeline and learn all about it, as well as pan for gold with a bag of pay dirt that has some flakes in it.

Riverboat Discovery Tour
thomaspS3652YY, Sep 2026
Most bang for the buck
Entered the reception area gave our name they looked in a file and pulled out two tickets and we were done. Entered in to a large gift shop the size of a small department store and realized there were stations of free coffee everywhere. Boarding the Discovery was punctual and organized departure was on time then realized there was more free coffee everywhere. Haha A beautiful cruise down the river where I was shocked to see residents on the river run out to their yards to smile and wave a welcome. On the return we stopped at a mock village and were given a tour by native Alaskans to see what life was like both before and after western exposure. Up to now my favorite part of my Alaskan adventure and a great value.

Fairbanks Before You Fly: The Final Adventure
R9307PEsandyg, Sep 2026
Very Pleased
We went on the Fire and Ice tour to the Chena Hot Springs Resort with Gina. We enjoyed hercso much, we booked her Heart of Fairbanks tour fir the next day! It was a pleasure to spend our time with her. Gina was very quick to respond to our questions pre-tour. During she was pleasant, prompt, and attended to all details so we didn't have to. She even told our dinner restaurant it was my birthday. Her knowledge was amazing and on the rare questions she didn't know the answer, she said she didn't know but found the answers. She went above and beyond trying to show us a glimpse of the Northern Lights. She asked us a number of times to see if we wanted to see anything in particular, or if we'd like her to stop anywhere before being dropped off, etc. We saw and learned so much during our time with her. It us with high confidence we can absolutely recommend AK Bucket List Tours with Gina.

Our Aurora ordeal

Fairbanks Alaska Luxury Car Private Tour
Joey_L, Sep 2026
Our Aurora ordeal
We had a great experience with Yas. He was punctual. He shared great stories about the aurora. He was very knowledgeable about the subject. And based on the dynamic data he was using, he can predict when the aurora would be prominent in the sky.It was rainy and cloudy on the day of activity. We drove 2.5 hours for sky clearance. We really didn’t see much , meaning without the iPhone camera, you couldn’t see the aurora.He offered to take us out again the next night. We accepted and had great views of the aurora.

Walking with the Reindeer
New York City
Private Alaskan Reindeer Encounter & Forest Walk
R4334LXmikea, Aug 2026
Walking with the Reindeer
We were in Fairbanks a day before our land journey as part of our cruise and had decided to rent a car and head towards the Chenna Hot Springs. We had seen a couple places advertising for seeing reindeer and this one was right along the way to the hot springs, so we stopped despite the website not showing any availability (the reservation system won't show anything for the same day FYI). They indicated they had an opening in about 40 minutes once the current tour completed, so we stepped next door to the cafe and grabbed a coffee and a cookie. We started off in their hut/office with Ryne learning about caribou and reindeer, what the differences were, and lots of other fun/interesting facts for maybe 10-15 minutes (legit it was interesting). Then we made our way down towards where they kept their reindeer. We knew the experience was called a "forest walk" but I think we were all a little surprised still when Ryne hooked leads to each of the 4 reindeer and handed them to us and lead us off into their woods! Yes, we were walking reindeer through the woods, as Ryne described it, kinda like walking really big lazy dogs. They were mostly interested in eating whatever fresh vegetation they could find along the way, but were pretty easy going and would come along when you coaxed them to move along. Since this was a "private" experience it really was just the 4 of us in our party, which was very nice.10/10 experience. We all kind of had the same thought, like "this is the first day of our trip and we just did THAT, not sure how the rest of our trip will compare to this. It's definitely one of our top highlights of our 12 days in Alaska.

Guided Fishing Adventure On The Chena River By Boat
Danuta_G, Aug 2026
Great trip. The guide...
Great trip. The guide made an active effort to make sure we had the opportunity to catch as much as possible. He was patient and taught skills to those on board that have never fished and us beginners who got our lines snagged. We stayed out a bit longer than planned to accommodate group requests. Great trip!

Arctic Circle excursion
Wonderful excursion. Sienna was our guide/driver and did a great job over a long day. Left at 6:30am and returned at 11:30pm. Good stops along the way for food and bathroom breaks. Would recommend, at least once.

Mike M is the best tour guide I have EVER had in my entire life of travels!
The road is extremely bumpy but it's the only way to get where you're going; so sit back and enjoy the scenery. It was everything I expected and more. Mike stopped about every hour to every hour and a half to let us get out, explore and stretch our legs. It didn't seem as long as it was. A once in a lifetime adventure everyone should do once.

One and a Half Hour Private Summer Sled Dog Experience

A chance to interact with Alaskan sled dogs!
Even though I have had dogs all my life, I had never experienced how sled dogs are trained and raised. I was allowed to help harness the dogs to prepare them for a ride around the area. The dogs were happy to go for a run and loved all the extra attention that they get from visitors. A must do for any kind of animal lover.

Spectacular Hot Spring Experience with Northern Lights
Camper17121224186, Aug 2026
Great experience!!!
Had an amazing experience. It was our first time getting into hot springs and glad that it was through this tour. Hot springs experience was beautiful with dark skies and stars above us while we were soaking in warm water and decent amount of lighting. It was not too crowded or not loud and was a pleasant experience. The changing rooms were not too bad, but i think that’s normal as I haven’t been to many swimming pools so not sure what to expect. We also visited the Ice museum which was really interesting and enjoyed my experience there. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see the northern lights due to cloud coverage that night though the guide made a few stops to make it happen. The guide kept the party size small which was a good idea.The guide shared valuable insights into Alaskan culture and lifestyle and was very fun to talk to and easy to coordinate during the entire trip. He gave clear instructions and detailed description of what to expect at every stop. If not for the guide, we wouldn’t have enjoyed those long drives into wilderness after sunset during the trip. We were so happy with the experience that, for months afterward, we found ourselves sharing the stories our guide told us with everyone we knew

Northern Lights by Fire

Bucket list item unlocked
Our Northern Lights by Fire tour with Gina was hands down the highlight of our Alaska trip! From the moment she picked us up, we felt like we were exploring with a friend who genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible. She shared fascinating stories about Alaska, explained the science and folklore behind the aurora, and made the entire evening fun and relaxing. The warm lodge, hot drinks, cookies, bonfire, and beautiful dark-sky locations made the night so special. Gina also helped everyone with camera settings and captured amazing photos that we'll treasure forever. She truly goes above and beyond for her guests, and her passion for Alaska is contagious. If you're looking for more than just an aurora chase and want a memorable, personal experience
