Fairbanks · REINDEER ENCOUNTERS & WALKS
5 reviewed
This is the shortlist we would send a friend heading up to the interior. The 5 reindeer encounters & walks worth booking, each with its price, its traveller verdict, and the one thing to know before you commit.
Hotel pickup in Fairbanks, a 1-hour dogsled run, a 30-minute reindeer meet and greet, plus lunch at Latitude 65 in a small group.
“We loved meeting the animals and learning about them and about dog mushing. Laura, Carl, and Cooper were very kind and knowledgeable.”
Hotel pickup, Elliott Highway views, a 1-hour snowmachine ride, a reindeer meet and greet, and a warm lunch at Borealis Basecamp.
“The best day we’ve had in the area! The added complimentary activities were awesome and food top notch!! All the staff who works here are fantastic!”
Meet resident Alaskan reindeer at Basecamp in Fairbanks. Feed, pet, and photograph them with a guide in about 30 minutes.
“We got to pet and feed reindeer as we learned about the herd and specific reindeer we met. So worth it!”
Walk Fairbanks Boreal Forest with resident reindeer, then visit their pen for treats. Small-group tour includes tea or coffee.
“This experience is not worth it. In the post they never mention that it's impossible to get there. Even with a rented car. The car rentals have places restricted and borealis Basecamp is one of them. No taxi or uber go there and they do not give you refunds. There's reindeer experiences closer to fairbanks like Running Reindeer (8 min far). Skip this scam and go to other one.”
Heli flightseeing over the Arctic plus a reindeer meet-and-greet at Borealis Basecamp, with pickup and lunch included.
“My father and I had a great time on this excursion! The helicopter ride was beautiful and we saw 6 moose. The reindeer were cute as well. During the down time between experiences, we went cross country skiing on their trails.”
