Experience the running of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race in March 2024 with Alaska's Premier Iditarod Race Tour Company

Great tour companies all have one thing in common- REPEAT CLIENTS!

For 2023 we had clients returning for their 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and even 12th time! All of our guided tours are tailored to maximize the amount of personal contact clients have with the race teams and mushers. AIT visits the most checkpoints, and gives its clients more contact with the mushers and villages along the Iditarod trail than other tour company operating. Come with us and join our community of Iditarod Fanatics.

"If you want an up close and personal experience of the Iditarod, he's the man that can give it to you." Michael Dixon host of CBS radio program " Around the World in 60 Minutes".

Recently, CBS Radio's award winning travel show " Around the World in 60 Minutes" did a feature story on the Iditarod Race and selected our company to interview for Iditarod Race Tour packages.

Eleven Time Returning Client Carol Hand in Unalakleet

"We've traveled with Alaska Iditarod Tours for 10 years in a row, and we're so excited to be going an 11th time in March 2023. We followed the Iditarod online for years, and finally decided we had to see it once in person. It was so much fun that we just keep coming back. Visiting the checkpoints is one of the tour highlights for us. It's a chance to see remote native villages, and watching the teams arrive at a checkpoint is such a thrill. It's also an opportunity to watch the mushers and veterinarians interact with the dogs, up close and personal. We've made friends on the tour with people from all over the world. We keep in touch throughout the year, and some we see on the tour again every year. It's been so much fun to find people who share our love of Alaska, mushing, and the Iditarod. If you've ever thought about seeing the Iditarod in person,

I highly recommend these tours." Carol Hand

I want to thank you for visiting our website and considering booking your Iditarod adventure with AIT. Over the last 20+ years we have had the pleasure of bringing hundreds of clients out on the Iditarod Trail to remote checkpoints where they can experience the real race, as it takes place on the trail and at the checkpoints. Meet the mushers, hear their stories of the trail, meet the villagers and volunteers who make this race the incredible event it is. Read this interview I did with Smithsonian Journeys as the Study Leader for their 2010 Iditarod Tour to learn more about me and Alaska Iditarod Tours. Come join our group of adventurers and find out for yourself why we have clients coming back year after year to experience this incredible event.
