• 5Bad photos, shaky hands,but the colors are real.

  Unique experience. Got to meet the sled dogs. Guides stopped halfway thru the dog sledding to take pictures for us. Dinner was ok. Dessert was great. Small group @16 people. Pickup was @8pm and drop-off @3:30am. After dinner we waited in the warm yurt for the aurora to appear. The lights gave us a wonderful show.

• 5Amazing Experience!

  I recently had an incredible experience with 1stAlaska Tours in Fairbanks, and I can't recommend them enough! From the moment I booked, they were incredibly reliable, answering all my questions promptly and thoroughly. The tour itself was fantastic, covering everything from exhilarating dog mushing adventures to fascinating town museums. Their knowledge of the area was truly impressive – they shared so many fascinating facts and stories that really brought the landscape to life, especially during our Northern Lights viewing and relaxing time at the hot springs. The dinner was delicious! I especially want to commend our tour guides, Tanner, Josef, and Daniel, for being so knowledgeable, nice, and approachable. They truly made the whole experience so enjoyable. If you're looking for a tour company in Fairbanks that's knowledgeable, reliable, and offers amazing experiences, look no further.

• 5A great adventure!

  Due to issues with our flight, my friend and I were late getting into Fairbanks and very concerned as to whether we would be able to make this tour. Josh and Chelsea assured us that we would be fine and that we were! Daniel was a friendly and professional tour guide who made sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening. Our Musher, Ash, was very experienced and made sure we had time to interact with the dogs before our ride, which was a highlight for me. Our dogsled ride was also our introduction to the northern lights and what a breathtaking way to see them. Our dinner was prepared right in the yurt which was kept comfortably warm, a necessity for this Floridian not used to seeing minus signs before the temperature! The food was delicious and we had plenty of time to take in more of the northern lights afterwards. I would highly recommend this tour.

• 5Aurora Viewing , Dog Sled, Dinner

  Went to Fairbanks primarily for 2 tours . Ice fishing and the Aurora Dog sledding experience . A bit more challenging as I was flying in Solo and they mostly required at least 2. Fortunately a spot opened . Pickup was promptly made at 8:15pm in a nice warm bus . Did I mention it was -16*..? 3 more stops and then the 30 minute ride to the site . Our meeting place was one of the Yurt’s on the property adjacent to the dogs. Introductions made and then walked over to the dog holding area. Had a chance to walk around , pet, hug ,take pictures of the dogs. So beautiful, energetic and lovable animals . They loved the attention, loved to be pet. . After about 10 minutes or so ready for the sledding . I was in Group 2 ..along with 2 Asian ladies in front. Me was in back in front of the driver . Joked with him saying I was the ballast, we both laughed . Then off we went. At least a 20 minute ride , not just around in a circle . Quite a few turns . Stopped twice so the driver could get out and take photos of us in the sled . Really needed to hold on more difficult if you wanted a pix or video. Too soon ( of course ) the ride ended , we got out back to Yurt for the next group. By this time the ladies was preparing dinner . While waiting they had hot coffee and tea, Hot Chocolate as well. By the time the second group came back dinner was served , and a delicious one it was ..the main course was grilled salmon , Asparagus, with wild rice. Absolutely delicious . My phone battery was crashing but the ladies graciously lent me her charger cable and during dinner recharged hoping to see Lady Aurora. The evening started overcast, but after the dog sled ride the Aurora came out full view. Spectacular sight. Even though it was freezing , kept going i. And out of the yurt to snap away. Our guide , Daniel, stayed outside to take pictures of the guests with Lady Aurora in the background with our cameras resetting making the pix amazing. Then sadly it was time to go. Warmed up the truck , was about 2:30am now -20 * back to the hotel. In short the tour was amazing, many thanks to 1st Alaska Tours . The guides Rob, who I went earlier Ice fishing A dog musher who took the dogs around the track , and Daniel our guide here and resident photographer who helped us set our cameras and took pictures of us with Aurora in the background. Both excellent guides . Would I go again?? Most definitely, even if Ms Aurora didn’t show her beautiful face . It was a first class tour with two great guides Rides. Thanks guys Rob and Daniel two great guides . And a thanks to Chelsea for her help Of course Bear, Rob’s dog and companion

• 5Highly recommend

  This tour was recommended to us by our hotel. From the minute we were picked up by Daniel to the minute we were dropped off it was above and beyond. Daniel was so informative and kind. The dog sledding was fun especially because we saw the aurora while on the sled. Ash grabbed pictures and video for us so our hands could stay warm in the below zero temps. The salmon dinner Emma prepared was delicious in the yurt. The compost bathroom was clean. We learned so much and the aurora came out for us in full force. Even if it didn’t, the dog sledding and dinner was worth it. Highly recommend our tour and this company is top notch! Ask for Daniel!

About Fairbanks

Fairbanks, in Alaska's interior, is a river town on the Chena, a gateway to the Arctic with long summer days, winter auroras and gold-rush history.

Fairbanks lies in the broad Tanana Valley of interior Alaska, on the Chena River, roughly 200 kilometres south of the Arctic Circle. It began as a trading post in 1901 and boomed after gold was found nearby in 1902; its mining past is shown at Pioneer Park, with its old buildings and sternwheeler. The University of Alaska Fairbanks is home to the Museum of the North, with Alaska Native art and natural history.
