WORK NORTHERN ALASKA

The Company

Northern Alaska Tour Company is an Alaskan-owned tour operator based in Fairbanks, Alaska. The Company was founded in 1986 to provide unparalleled travel and touring experiences in Alaska's Arctic for guests while maintaining the highest standards of safety and commitment to traditional culture and the environment.

Northern Alaska Tour Company is an organization passionately committed to ensuring that each and every guest is provided with a high-quality travel experience in Alaska's Arctic.  This experience begins from the moment they make an inquiry call to their return shuttle when the tour experience is over.

The Tours

Northern Alaska Tour Company operates both one-day and multi-day excursions, summer and winter. Almost all excursions include some element of ground touring on the Dalton Highway. Some excursions combine ground tours with air transportation, scenic floats on the Middle Fork Koyukuk River, and visits to rural villages. Destinations we visit on our excursions include the Yukon River, the Arctic Circle, Coldfoot, Wiseman, Prudhoe Bay, and Utqiagvik.

All of Northern Alaska Tour Company's excursions focus on sharing an experience with our guests that results in each guest coming away from their experience in Alaska's Arctic with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the natural history and cultural heritage of the region.

High priority is placed on maximizing the quality of personal interaction associated with each excursion. Therefore, every excursion is limited to group sizes of ten or twenty-five guests.

The type of equipment used for each excursion varies, of course, with the transportation mode. Twenty-six-passenger coaches and fifteen-passenger vans are used on the ground. Nine-passenger Piper Navajo twin-engine aircraft are used in the air.
