Borealis Basecamp
Borealis Basecamp is situated on a quiet ridgeline at a latitude of 65° in Alaska, roughly 25 miles north of Fairbanks. It is surrounded by 100 acres of pristine boreal forest and provides a complete immersion in the Alaskan wilderness. The basecamp’s location is ideal for viewing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) because there is minimal light pollution. It is also a good place from which to explore the surrounding landscape, either on foot, by dog sled, or snow machine.

Fairbanks
Fairbanks is the second largest city in the state of Alaska with all the charms of small town life. It is a favored base camp with adventure-seekers and explorers en route to the Alaskan Interior or the Arctic region. An excellent year-round destination, there is plenty to keep you busy come summer or winter! Rafting and kayaking down the Chena River appeal to adventure lovers while golfing and fishing are for those who prefer a relaxed pace. Pioneer Park stands as testimony to the city’s historic past of gold mining, and art galleries are filled with exquisite displays of local handicrafts for you to browse. The onset of winter brings with it dog sledding, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing expeditions. Meanwhile, the hot springs are perfect for rejuvenating with a leisurely soak after every exciting adventure. Fairbanks makes for an especially unique destination during the Fall and Winter months, with the Northern Lights shining through the darkness!

I have used ET 3 times now for trips to Africa Iceland and Alaska and am considering trips to South America and Antarctica with them. The ET team had been terrific to work with. Informed experienced accessible and responsive. I could not pick a better travel consultant team

Enchanting Travels helped us plan, down to every detail, exactly what we wanted in our trip. In the early stages there was constant contact to fine-tune our trip to what our interests were. During the trip we had the confidence that our Trip Coordinator had our back.

We would highly recommend using Enchanting Travels for an Alaskan vacation. They curated the experiences that we most wanted including lots of opportunities to see the beauty of the landscape, do wildlife tours for animal sighting, and gain understanding of the Native culture. We trusted the specific tours that they arranged in terms of safety (plane flights, etc). They were very supportive throughout our trip; daily check ins to ensure that the reservations for tours and hotels would all go smoothly. We were very impressed by the individual attention and support of our coordinator, Heike.

Enchanting Travels makes planning your next adventure so easy. I would recommend them to everyone. We will certainly be using their services again.

Enchanting Travels coordinated a customized bucket-list trip to Alaska for us that exceeded our expectations. There were suggestions made in the itinerary that we would have never thought of several being highlights of the trip. Prior to the trip, all of the booking and coordination was taken care of and in Alaska, this is helpful since many places do not open booking until a certain time, and do not offer the ease of online reservations. We would not have experienced as much as we did if we tried to coordinate this trip on our own. During the trip, our coordinator Miriam was excellent with communication and made for a stress-free trip. We only had one minor hiccup with one of the hotel reservations but it was corrected promptly and of little inconvenience. She was always available and quick to reply. I highly recommend this service. If you book with Enchanting Travels, you will be glad that you did.
