Duration: 3 Hours
Your transportation is included
Enjoy an included lunch and then step aboard the Sternwheeler Discovery and explore the “last frontier” by river to uncover Alaska’s rich culture and history. You’ll disembark the boat and take a tour of the Chena Indian Village Living Museum to learn about the Athabascan tribe’s way of life and how they thrived in the harsh Arctic. Then, you’ll see a bush pilot demonstration as a plane takes off and lands right on the water next to the boat and hear how these pilots connect the remote destinations in Alaska to civilization. Afterward, meet the dogs and drivers at Trail Breaker Kennel, home of the late four-time Iditarod champion Susan Butcher. You’ll also dock at Steamboat Landing, a throwback to trading posts where you can shop for unique souvenirs. This is a 3-hour river journey you won’t want to miss.
Final counts are required 48 hours prior.
Please note, a visit to Trail Breaker Kennel is already included in your tour. This River Boat option also includes it as you will watch a demo from the ship as one of the many featured Alaskan experiences. When you visit the kennel as part of the main tour program, it will be in our Collette group only for a private, more in-depth experience.
