Description

At Heart of Alaska Tours, we believe the best way to experience Alaska is with someone who truly calls it home. We're a locally owned small business, not a large tour company running guests through a script. When you travel with us, you're not just another seat on a bus. We keep our groups small so we can share the places, stories, and experiences that made us fall in love with Alaska in the first place. Our guides have spent years exploring Alaska's backroads, trails, wildlife areas, and small towns. We know where to stop for the best views, where wildlife is often seen, and how to adapt each day to make the most of your adventure. We focus on authentic Alaska experiences, genuine hospitality, and personal service. There are no rushed schedules,—just unforgettable adventures led by people who are passionate about sharing the true heart of Alaska. Our goal is simple: to help you experience Alaska the way locals do and leave with memories that last a lifetime.

Hit springs, ice, moose and beavers!

Great experience! The ice museum was amazing and the apple-tini on point! The Hot Sprungs felt wonderful after a long day of activities. Jon, our guide, was informative and stopped for us to see some moose and beavers. Overall a great trip!

Wonderful small group tour

Wonderful small group tour. John was a fabulous tour guide who had a lot of information about life in Fairbanks and Alaska in general. John knew all the best places to see wildlife and we were lucky enough to see moose, beaver, porcupine and marmot. Hot springs are wonderful to relax in. Highly recommend this tour

Really loved the slow pace and ability to stop and see moose when we saw them. The hot springs were relaxing and the ice museum was cool to experience. John is awesome!

John was an exceptional tour guide from start to finish. He was there to guide us to the different buildings and would check in with us to see if we needed anything. He stopped and turned around when several moose were spotted. We really appreciated that the van was not fully packed like other excursions have been. We actually had room to stretch out our legs and not be crammed in so tightly! This is the way to run a business, customer’s first! Job well done and exceptional guide!!!

Chena Hot Springs

It was great! John did a fabulous job of explaining life in Alaska/Fairbanks . The hot springs were so relaxing and we spent a good hour+ in them. The Ice museum was sooo cool. We'll worth seeing and the Appletini was delightful!

A memory to be cheeished

Kevin and John picked us up from the Riverboat terminal. I was a bit skeptical if the longish (1 hour) trip will be worth it but it was worth every cent I paid! John was wonderful in every respect. Ice museum (and a Appletini at the ice bar) will be a cherished memory and so will be the hot spring. This is in summer … I want live to experience it in winter too!

Great Tour Guide

Really cool Ice Museum! Great Appletini and the water is really warm! We enjoyed the bar and restaurant as well. We especially loved our tour guide John which is amazing at spotting Moose on the way and he is very knowledgeable about the area. He was a big reason why we enjoyed it so much!
