• 5Great ice fishing experience

  Great authenticate Alaska experience. Booked super last minute. The guide was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Definitely buy your fishing license as we had a visit from the State Trooper. Caught dozens of fish and they tasted delicious.

• 5A must do!

  This is a must do if you're visiting Fairbanks. Go in the morning though - the fish bite better. Also, the cabin is nice and warm so no need to bundle up

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.
