Reindeer and Snowmobile Day Trip to Borealis Basecamp with Lunch
Overview
Available languages
8 hours
Mobile ticket
On your reindeer tour, our experienced reindeer handlers will introduce you to the herd of reindeer at Borealis Basecamp, and you can feed, meet, and take pictures with these incredible animals.
On your snowmachine tour, your route traces a path along the famous Trans Alaska Pipeline, with a detour through a genuine Alaskan trapline. This tour will treat you to sweeping views of the arctic valleys and the White Mountains as you ride at a comfortable pace through the snowy forest. Watch out for animal tracks in the snow, or if you're lucky enough, wild life sightings can happen even in the coldest of conditions! As you ride, your guide will point out notable features in the trail and can answer questions you may have about the area.

What To Expect
We will pick you up from your hotel in the morning. It is a 45 minute drive North on the world famous Elliott Highway to Borealis Basecamp. We are located in the heart of the Boreal Forest, with panoramic views of the valley. Included in your package is a 1-hour snowmachine tour and a 30-minute long reindeer meet and greet tour. You will drive your own snowmachine on a groomed trail through the Boreal Forest, with views of the Trans Alaska Pipeline and more. On this 30 minute long tour, you have the chance to meet our resident Alaskan born reindeer. They live at Basecamp year round, living on a diet of reindeer feed and natural treats. Your tour guide will show you how reindeer live in the Alaskan Arctic year round and give you the opportunity to feed and take photos with them! Lunch is held at Latitude 65, our on-site restaurant. The menu consists of hot and cold sandwiches, noodle dishes, and a rotating menu of features and fresh soups. You may also take part in some of our complimentary resort activities, such as fat tire bike rentals, tubing down a sledding hill, or joining us for a nature walk to the Alyeska Pipeline. You depart from Borealis Basecamp at 4:30pm.

Reindeer Hike through a boreal forest

2.00The description of the reindeer walk is very misleading. We were not given a 30 minute walk through a boreal forest and this not a wilderness experience. We walked around the parking lot, on a gravel and dirt road, and about 5 minutes through a strip of trees between the roads. This was not worth $85/person.
Great Family Day Trip!

5.00We had an awesome day trip from Fairbanks! Cooper was great at getting us set and maintaining a pace that worked with having 2 person snowmobiles…and made sure we knew when we had flat spots ;). Lance was super knowledgeable about Rory the reindeer, and we had fun on our nature walk. The lunch and service were wonderful.
Snowmobile was SUPER fun,...

4.00Snowmobile was SUPER fun, our guide was great, and the scenery was gorgeous! The reindeer walk was a little dangerous with the ice laden trail up hills. The dog sled was absolutely the BEST!!!!
Best Day ♥️

3.00Snowmobile part was wonderful fun. Reindeer walk disappointing-6 of us walking 2 reindeer. Guide enthusiastic/knowledgeable but could only be heard by current walkers; all others in group out of luck. Walk was down the mountain and back up again. I nearly died being out of breath and guide never even noticed-no notice given of the steep terrain and there was much flat place the walk could have been. Timing of ride/walk not properly advertised-picked us up at 0930, ride not until noon, walk not until 3pm. Were there the entire day for 2 hours of tours. Lunch was nothing special and service was TERRIBLE.

5.00The snow machine tour and reindeer walk were both very fun. We went to see the trans-Alaska pipeline w/ the snow machine ride. It's a little tricky for first-time drivers but our guide was very good at instructions. They also have packages that include accommodations where you can see Aurora from your tent. Make sure to check that out if you're up for the Northern lights.

2.00Lots of waiting around. There were three raindeer and we walked around camp with them for 40 minutes. The snow machine tour guide was very good, but we had to go very slowly (because there were six machines and the guide had to continually wait for people to catch up). The machines were new and worked ok, however they were very hard to control at such slow speeds. Would not recommend this experience.
Excellent experience
