Alaska Wildlife Guide LLC is a North Pole, Alaska–based tour operator specializing in guided wildlife and wilderness experiences around Fairbanks and the Arctic Circle.
The company offers a range of small-group excursions: Northern Lights & Chena Hot Springs, multiple Snowshoe Tours in the Chena Lakes Recreation area, an Arctic Circle Day Tour along the Dalton Highway, and a combined Northern Lights & Arctic Circle Tour. Guides transport guests in climate-controlled vans, provide storytelling and local history, and stop for scenic views, wildlife spotting, and photo opportunities.
The Northern Lights & Chena Hot Springs experience includes a visit to Chena Hot Springs Resort, located about 60 miles from Fairbanks, with a guided tour of the Aurora Ice Museum, access to mineral hot springs, and aurora viewing. The Arctic Circle Day Tour travels the Dalton Highway—known for its remote landscape and its association with the television series Ice Road Truckers—and supplies an official Arctic Circle certificate for participants. The Northern Lights & Arctic Circle Tour is a 12-to-14-hour small-group itinerary that explores the Trans-Alaska Pipeline corridor and seeks aurora viewing away from city lights. Snowshoe Tours traverse the Chena Lakes Recreation area, require no special skills, are family-friendly, and emphasize personalized service in small groups.
Alaska Wildlife Guide LLC focuses on safe, informative outings that connect visitors with Alaska’s winter landscapes while prioritizing responsible travel practices. Reservations are available seasonally; schedules, availability, and specific itineraries vary by weather and daylight, so advance booking is recommended for optimal experience and safety.
