Itinerary

Fairbanks, Alaska
Day 1: Arrival in Fairbanks
Welcome to Alaska! After arriving in Fairbanks, make the short transfer with your groupmates to your hotel. You’ll touch down later in the evening, so use your free time to settle into your room, grab a bite to eat at your hotel, and look forward to the rest of your journey.
Day 2: Sightseeing tour of Fairbanks
Included meals: Breakfast, Welcome dinner
Begin your day with a guided sightseeing tour of Fairbanks, a city that blends gold rush history with modern-day frontier charm. As you drive through town, you’ll pass rustic log cabins standing alongside contemporary art installations—and might even catch a glimpse of a train chugging along the famed Alaska Railroad.
- Enter the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center to view exhibits dedicated to the culture and art of Alaskan Natives. Here, soaring wood-and-glass architecture reflects the natural beauty of Interior Alaska. Inside, explore immersive exhibits that celebrate the traditions, languages, and daily life of the state’s Indigenous peoples. Gaze at intricately beaded regalia, hear recordings of native Athabaskan storytelling, and admire striking displays of traditional crafts—each piece telling a story of survival, adaptation, and deep connection to the land.
- Roll up your sleeves at Gold Daughters, where you’ll try your hand at panning just like the prospectors of the 1800s. With a pan in hand and your feet in the gravel, swirl and sift through the icy water, hoping to spot the glitter of real gold flakes.
- Trade the clang of gold pans for the hush of nature as you head to Creamer’s Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge. Walk with a naturalist guide down boardwalk trails through a peaceful landscape of open fields, wetlands, and boreal forest, where the breeze rustles cottonwood leaves and migratory birds call overhead. (Depending on the season, you might spot sandhill cranes, tundra swans, or even moose.) Along the way, your guide will point out native plant species and share insights into the refuge’s role in local conservation efforts.
Please note: The stops along the guided tour may vary based on the season.
This evening, attend a traditional Alaskan salmon bake welcome dinner. Expect a rustic, laid-back summer shack atmosphere and hearty local dishes made with pride.
