The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
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.
Hike the haunting tundra to Nome's iconic 'Last Train to Nowhere' — three derelict gold-rush locomotives rusting majestically on the Arctic plain, a photographer's and historian's ultimate bucket-list moment.
Drive Nome's three extraordinary backcountry roads — the only roads in Alaska that lead to nowhere — through Arctic tundra, ghost towns, and gold dredges on a fully guided, multi-road expedition.
Pan for real Alaskan gold on the very beach where the 1899 gold rush began, then explore historic gold dredges that still haunt the Nome tundra — a visceral, hands-on piece of American frontier legend.
Join a world-class naturalist on an immersive Arctic birding and natural history safari across the Seward Peninsula — one of the planet's premier wildlife corridors for rare Asian vagrants, shorebirds, and tundra species.
Immerse yourself in the living culture of Nome's Inupiaq community — visit master ivory carvers and artists whose traditions span millennia, and acquire authentic Arctic art directly from its creators.
