arctic travel resources
We know different trips and different itineraries mean different transportation needs. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to get up to Coldfoot and back. Here's a quick guide to companies that transport to and from Coldfoot so you can find the perfect match for your needs.
Northern Alaska Tour Company runs tours that visit us all year round. In the summer and winter they run 3-5 hour, full-day, and multi-day trips.
The Dalton Highway Express is a great way to visit us for a couple of days during the summer. They come up a few days a week, and head back the following day. This service is great for hikers, or and helpful for shuttling supplies up North. If you’re interested, please make reservations in advance.
If you're heading to the end of the highway, Deadhorse Camp is the first place to stay and eat at the service community of Deadhorse. In the summer, Deadhorse Camp operates the Arctic Ocean Shuttle service. The Arctic Ocean Shuttle allows guests to take a security guard operated shuttle through the oilfields to the coast and requires an advance reservation.
Yukon River Camp is a restaurant, lodge, and fuel stop a few hours south of us. In addition to a variety of amenities, you also have access to a gorgeous view of Alaska's longest river.
Coyote Air is a charter service based in Coldfoot that flies all over the Brooks Range back country.
Wright Air Service is a scheduled flight service that flies north from Fairbanks. Wright Air has scheduled service potential for Coldfoot, so they can be a great transportation option for guests looking to fly into Coldfoot.
Warbelow’s Air Ventures is another scheduled flight operator in Fairbanks that has the capacity to charter flights to Coldfoot and other areas with an adequate runway. Though there is currently no scheduled service to Coldfoot, charter flight options may be available.
