Riverboat Discovery

Riverboat Discovery is a three hour tour. A three hour tour. It takes you up the Chena River where you first watch a Bush pilot take off from and land on the river in his vintage Sandpiper.

Next you meet the daughter of Iditaron winner, Susan Butcher, and her Alaskan husky sled dogs. Puppies too! But you just get to look at them from the boat... But she tells you all about them and then you get to see a team pull her around in an ATV and those 

dogs go crazy for it. 

The last stop is at a replica of a native village. Guides take you around and teach you about their culture, show you reindeer, and there is a lady dog musher whose sled dogs you can see and pet and watch go crazy.

Free blueberry donuts and salmon spread is included.

On a recommendation from a complete stranger on Facebook, we went to the Alaska Salmon Bake in Fairbanks for dinner. It was a good buffet, but I don't think either of us ate $34 worth of salmon.
