Meet and feed reindeer, then ride through snowy forest past the Trans-Alaska Pipeline on a full-day Fairbanks adventure.
About this tour
Meet a herd of reindeer and ride through the snowy Alaskan wilderness on this full-day Fairbanks reindeer and snowmobile trip to Borealis Basecamp. It pairs close-up time with these remarkable animals with a guided journey across a landscape shaped by winter.
At Borealis Basecamp, experienced handlers introduce you to the reindeer. Feed them, spend time with the herd, and take photos. Then follow a snowmobile route beside the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, with a detour through a genuine Alaskan trapline. Your guide points out notable trail features and answers questions as you travel at a comfortable pace through the forest. Look for animal tracks and, with luck, wildlife, while sweeping views open across Arctic valleys and the White Mountains.
Snow gear is provided, and a $20 voucher at Latitude 65 covers most of the regular lunch menu. If snow conditions are insufficient, UTVs may be used instead of snowmachines. Choose this Fairbanks reindeer and snowmobile trip for a memorable mix of wildlife encounters, local scenery, and guided outdoor adventure.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.52 from 25 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 6.4.
