The Alaskan Barrow Adventure And The Alaskan Barrow Expedition Is A Lover Of Thrill Seekers

For those thrill seekers out there… this Barrow Adventure is for you! The Barrow Adventure is a breathtaking flightseeking experience.

This unique opportunity gives you a bird’s eye view of Alaska and especially Barrow. This adventure starts when you are hoisted up into the air, onboard a 737 jet operated by Alaska Airlines.

On a normal occasion, the planes can seat up to 111 people. While on the plane you will experience views to unmatchable proportions as you make your way to and from the ancient Inupiat Eskimo village of Barrow.

Once you land in Barrow, all passengers will have the opportunity to exit the plane and explore the village by bus. This is an amazing adventure that you don’t want to miss if you are in Alaska!

Pricing for The Barrow Adventure ranges from $470 to $570 per roundtrip. The flights begin in Fairbanks and take you to Barrow.

You may also add $100 per person per direction to start and finish in Anchorage. This option is great if you are lodging in Anchorage so you can save money in ground transportation. If you need to stop and finish in Anchorage then that will cost an additional $200 per person. Yes, it seems a bit pricey for a vacation experience but the Alaskan Barrow Adventure is worth every penny.

Similar to the Barrow Adventure is the Barrow Expedition. The Barrow Expedition is a little different from the Barrow Adventure in that it is much more expensive, uses a smaller plane, and is more dependant on specific daily weather conditions. If you do decide to forgo the Barrow Expedition instead of the Barrow Adventure here are some key facts which you should know. Passengers of the Barrow Expedition will travel in a 9-passenger, twin-engine, Piper Chieftains, operated by Air Arctic, a Fairbanks based air charter operator. On this plane, because it only seats 9 people, every passenger has a window view but also the accessibility to get up and move around like an aisle seat.

This plane trip also gives the passengers a chance to explore Barrow by bus (both the adventure and the expedition go to Barrow and Fairbanks). Because this trip is a little more upper class, so is the price. A general admission usually varies from $319 to $600- $600 being the cheapest whole trip offered. Anything cheaper than $600 is a half-way trip and they will fly those cheaper routes if the weather does not permit a whole trip.

Whichever one you decide on, whether it is the Barrow Adventure or the Barrow Expedition, you are bound to have an amazing time so it is definitely an opportunity you wouldn’t want to pass up!
