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.

Through Alaska Active Travel LLC, we booked a two-day excursion to Glacier Bay near Juneau in mid-June 2025. On the first day, we spotted whales (humpbacks) and other marine animals. We were lucky enough to see many humpbacks and also the "first" orcas of the season. An unforgettable experience

When we decided to take a multi generational family vacation to Alaska, we also decided to stay away from cruises ships. My grandsons wanted to see Fairbanks and Denali and I wanted to see Glacier Bay. We took the their parents along too! Luckily, in my search for trips, I found the

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 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.

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.
