Take advantage of Alaska Airlines to get away from it all. Great to add to every land tour and cross-gulf cruise is a journey to Bush Alaska, where you'll find villages hundreds of miles from Alaska's main road system. The further you get from civilization, the more Alaskan your adventure becomes.

Why the Arctic?

A journey to the Arctic takes you beyond the ordinary. If you came to experience Alaska's untouched, untamed side, a trip to the Arctic is the most extraordinary place to do it. Few have the privilege of visiting these cultures that lived for thousands of years with little contact from the outside world. Go north and be one of those few.

Barrow – Day Tour or Overnight

Fly with Alaska Airlines to the "Top of the World." Barrow is the northernmost city in the United States, 330 miles north of the Arctic Circle, and here you'll truly feel you're on the edge of the planet. Here in Alaska's largest Eskimo village, the rhythms of life are still dictated by the natural environment and animal behavior. You'll witness ceremonies and traditions of the native culture as you tour the Inupiat Heritage Center. Listen to local music, take part in native dances, and participate in a demonstration of the traditional blanket toss. Your tour includes a chance to examine the tundra, search for hundreds of bird species, view the ice of the Arctic Ocean, and walk on a beautiful sand beach as far north as you may ever travel. Throughout your stay, you'll have a chance to interact with local residents who enthusiastically enjoy sharing their stories and culture. Extra-brave guests can join the most prestigious Polar Bear Club in the world by choosing to swim in the Arctic Ocean.

Barrow Tours (Day or Overnight)

Nome – Day Tour or Overnight

Fly to Nome, at the edge of the Bering Sea. This tiny town plays host to the finish of the Iditarod, the world's longest dog sled race, and it's the perfect place to experience first-hand the thrill and challenge of dog mushing, with a detailed demonstration by a veteran Iditarod musher. During your visit to Little Creek Mine, you'll be greeted by a gold miner's family and learn about the gold strike of the 1890's. You'll see modern-day prospectors looking for the big strike, and can even try your own luck at panning for gold ... and keep what you find. In fact, nowhere in Alaska is gold fever more palpable, with dozens of massive dredges from a bygone era still standing sentinel on the tundra. Shoppers and collectors will discover some treasures of their own: Alaska's best native ivory carvings, baskets, and skin sewing come from this region.
