Walking with Reindeer Experience

So much fun! Unique experience and very educational! Our guide was excellent and had a wealth of knowledge! Hike was beautiful and reindeer was so sweet and so cute! Highly recommend!

We learned a lot and had a fun time interacting with Alis, a female reindeer. We walked down a path, taking turns walking Alis while our guide answered our questions and gave us lots of interesting information. We got fun pictures and got to feed Alis and Hank (another reindeer) after the walk.

Relaxing, informative and fun. Easy registration and good communication before the tour. We had no problems finding and driving to the Aurora Borealis Basecamp Activity Center. Beautiful outdoor setting. Ahme, the reindeer handler and guide, knows her reindeer. You can tell she enjoys what she does as a reindeer handler, cares for the animals well, and enjoys sharing stories and fun facts about each of the reindeer. The walk was enjoyable. We got to help feed the reindeer and take pictures and videos. Highly Recommend this tour.

The ride out to Aurora basin is beautiful with very scenic views! We showed up and were greeted with amazing hospitality! Our guide allowed us to start early as we arrived early. She showed us the reindeer we would be walking (Alis). Our guide was very informative on reindeer and answered our questions! Im sorry to say I do not remember our guides name, but she is a young woman from New Hampshire; if you get her you are in for a treat! Alis was very friendly and allowed us to set the pace of the walk. She was sweet and didn't mind when we guided her down the correct path. The walk was the perfect amount of time; not too short but not too long either. At the end we got to see how funny the reindeer are as another reindeer (Hank) jumped in the pin that Alis was supposed to stay in (unsure how he accomplished this, I assume he has hops). Our guide had to move him back to his own pin. It was a truly wonderful experience! 10/10 would recommend!

I made the reservation based on some other tours I had taken. They picked me up at my hotel and brought me back after the tour was over. After I signed up for this one, I received an email telling me it was an hours trip out of town and I had to have my own transportation to get there. I didn't have a vehicle to get there so I called them to cancel the tour. They told me they didn't give refunds for any reason. I just lost that money. Be very aware if you sign up for this tour you will need your own transportation.

Walking the reindeer was included in our package for Borealis Basecamp. And it was so much fun! Ahmae, our guide was knowledgeable and passionate. Her love of the reindeer was so contagious! We were there on a cold a snowy day, and the weather gear provided by Basecamp Adventures was perfect!

We absolutely loved our tour except that it was -40 F and it was difficult for us to walk the entire trail. Check the weather in advance and opt out for « Meet and Greet » option which is more affordable and allows you to meet and pet a reindeer. I would also recommend booking directly through Aurora Borealis Base Camp.

This experience is not worth it. In the post they never mention that it's impossible to get there. Even with a rented car. The car rentals have places restricted and borealis Basecamp is one of them. No taxi or uber go there and they do not give you refunds. There's reindeer experiences closer to fairbanks like Running Reindeer (8 min far). Skip this scam and go to other one.

Such a fun and memorable experience! Our guide, Ahmae, was so knowledgeable and kind. We learned a lot, and had a great time walking reindeer Rory. Would absolutely recommend this unique experience!

This reindeer walk and learning about the reindeer habits was very interesting. A calm walk in nature in winter is the best. Abby our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made our walk a unique experience. Thank you for a the memories.
