Arctic Tundra Wildlife Safari: Musk Ox, Reindeer & Seabirds

Venture into Nome's roadless wilderness on a private wildlife safari to spot musk ox, reindeer, Arctic fox, and thousands of migratory seabirds on the Seward Peninsula — one of the continent's last truly wild frontiers.

What to expect

Your expert local guide drives you along Nome's legendary backcountry roads — the Teller, Council, and Kougarok — scanning the open tundra for the region's iconic megafauna. Musk ox, relics of the Ice Age, are frequently spotted within the first hour. The vast, treeless landscape feels primordial and the sheer silence is profound. Binoculars and a knowledgeable commentary on Arctic ecology make every sighting feel earned.
