Step aboard an authentic sternwheeler for a half-day cruise down the Chena and Tanana Rivers. As the paddlewheel turns, you’ll glide past a bush floatplane taking off, visit a champion sled dog kennel, and learn how Alaska’s huskies are trained for racing.
Along the way, you’ll stop at a recreated Athabascan village where local guides share stories of Alaska Native traditions, from fur-trapping to fish-smoking. It’s hands-on, kid-friendly, and packed with photo moments — from watching reindeer up close to trying on a real moose hide parka.
The whole experience feels like stepping back into frontier Alaska, with live commentary, cultural demonstrations, and plenty to keep both adults and kids engaged.
