Iditarod & Northern Lights Tours in Alaska for 2027

Alaska Active helped me make my dreams become a reality. I booked a tour from Anchorage to Fairbanks via Talkeetna so that I could watch the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race which had been a dream of mine for 30 years. Andrea was absolutely amazing at organising everythin. She took the stress out of my trip

We just got back from a wonderful Alaska experience coordinated by Alaska Active Travel. The logistics were flawless. They coordinated all lodging and all of the tours. We really enjoyed our time and highly recommend using this group.

We had a wonderful time on our recent Iditarod and Northern Lights tour. Alaska Active Travel planned everything for us and explained in advance what we needed and where to be for each day. It was well organized. And when the Iditarod changed, they let us know within a timely fashion. I would use then again for any future Alaska trips

We were leery to book with Alaska Active Travel. Having always planned trips on our own, or booked a group tour this was a new experience. In the end, we are glad we did. We had a fantastic trip to Alaska. They arranged hotel accommodations, transportation, additional excursions and hotel nights at our request. It was complete package without the cumbersome mess of a group tour. Before departure

Thank you very much for all the hard work you put into organising this trip. It was an excellent trip.

We enjoyed the trip. Scott was great and funny. The Rainy Pass day trip was awesome.  Overall service was 5star quality.  You are very helpful professional. We were at ease and confident. I recommend IditarodAlaska to friends and family. Loved our stay at Chena Hot Springs Resort. 

We have fond memories of every aspect of the Chase the Race itinerary. Our understanding of the Iditarod and its place in Alaskan culture is now greatly appreciated as is our  admiration for the mushers, dogs and race personnel. We were very appreciative of the great hospitality and the down to earth views on the Alaskan wilderness of Chris and Sarah at Tal Vista lodge and for their ability to accommodate us for an extra day at a moments notice.

We had a GREAT time on our tour to Alaska for the 53rd running of the Iditarod. Although we had a major problem when the Iditarod Committee had to relocate the official start of the Iditarod from Willow to Fairbanks due to weather. I felt that your staff did an outstanding job of setting  everything up so we could be part of the official Iditarod race start. It took a lot of time and work to make everything happen so it appeared seamless. The airline did an excellent job of providing us an awesome experience at the official start of the race in Fairbanks. They not only set us up to observe the start of the race they went so far as to bring us to a place along the trail that allowed us to observe the mushers on the trail.   Thank you for all your help!!!  

We had a fantastic Iditarod trip!  Andrea carefully answered all our questions during the booking.  The costs for everything we received was very reasonable.  The vouchers were easy to use and understand.  All the contacts where we used the vouchers knew we were coming and were prepared.  We were on one of the Iditarod Tours and when the race restart was moved at the last minute to Fairbanks, the staff quickly pivoted to provide us with a new itinerary and got us to the event.  Everything went like clockwork. All our Alaska tour guides and contacts were extremely knowledgeable and courteous.  We greatly enjoyed the tour format of having them line up the tours, shuttles and hotels and the rest of the time we could choose to do as we please, especially choosing our own restaurants to try.

Just a little follow up regarding our group visit to the Iditarod last week. Everything went off like clock work. Our hotel in Anchorage had a great location and the staff is wonderful.  We dealt mainly with Chad and Angela who were extremely helpful. Jane and I went to the melodrama at the ---goose.
