Gold Panning & Tours

There's still gold in those Alaska hills — and streams and beaches — and you can find some for yourself on a gold panning tour. Most gold panning tours start out with a history of Alaska’s gold rush and some lead you on guided tours that explore historical gold rush equipment and artifacts. Tour guides will then give an overview of how to seek your own fortune by outfitting you with the proper gear and leading you to prime gold panning spots on creeks or at sluice boxes.
