Specialties: Discovery awaits. For thousands of years, rivers have shaped our lands and the way that we live on them, and for five generations the Binkley family has made the rivers of Alaska their way of life. This unique three-hour tour aboard the Sternwheeler Riverboat Discovery will take you into the golden heart of Alaska as you discover our history, our culture, and our people. Meet modern day pioneers, view wildlife, and watch a bush pilot take off and land. Visit Trail Breaker Kennel, home of the late Iditarod Champion, Susan Butcher, and see her champion sled dogs in action! The Sternwheeler Discover will take you back in time and deliver you to Chena Village, a living museum, dedicated to Alaskan Native culture. Morning and afternoon tours daily. So much more than just a boat ride, Discovery awaits! Established in 1950. Our company can be described as a small, local, family owned and operated business.
Captain Jim Binkley followed in his father’s footsteps and piloted freight vessels on the Yukon and Tanana Rivers in the 1940’s. In 1950, noting the coming changes in the freighting business, Captain Jim and his wife, Mary, began the business. Over the coming years, their business grew from the Godspeed, a 25-passenger vessel, to the Discovery III, a 900-passenger vessel. Today, their grandchildren run the company and you will still see Mary B around the property and waving to the boat.
The Binkley’s also operate a mining attraction: Gold Dredge 8. This tour incorporates large scale mining and the smaller scale side of mining into an all-encompassing tour that also features the Trans Alaska Pipeline and a replica of the Tanana Valley Railroad.
