Ride with a team of eight dogs, meet local mushers, and feed reindeer on a full-day winter trip to Borealis Basecamp.

About this tour

Meet the dogs and reindeer of Borealis Basecamp on a full-day Fairbanks dogsled and reindeer trip. Local mushers introduce you to their teams before you climb aboard a genuine dogsled for an hourlong ride through snowy forest. Ride seated or standing as eight dogs pull the sled at a comfortable, lively pace, with a guide along for the journey. You’ll also visit the kennels and see a replica checkpoint like those used by mushers during long-distance winter races. Then, experienced handlers introduce you to the reindeer herd. Feed the animals, get a closer look, and take photos. Snow gear is provided, and a $20 voucher can be used toward lunch at Latitude 65; it covers most of the regular menu. If snow conditions don’t allow dogsledding, the ride will use UTVs instead. Discover the people, animals, and winter traditions behind this Fairbanks dogsled and reindeer trip, and enjoy a memorable day at Borealis Basecamp.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.54 from 50 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Fairbanks
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.0.
