Overview

Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime, family friendly experience as we guide you inside Castner Ice Cave in the heart of one of Alaska's famed glaciers! We will drive from Fairbanks, passing open tundra with herds of caribou, the Trans-Alaskan pipeline, and on clear days we can see the stunning Alaska Mountain Range.

Once we arrive at the glacier area we will gear up with snowshoes or ice cleats for your boots before heading out on a guided 1.5 mile hike to the Ice Cave!

We will learn about the history of glaciers in Alaska, geology, local history, and much more as we embark out to an ice cave so large that we can all walk inside! This will no doubt be an adventure to bring home and tell your friends and family about.
