Native Alaska
Tom offers unique ecotours and fishing trips in the Nome area. Since there are no roads from Anchorage to Nome, your Alaskan NW Adventure begins once you have arrived at the Nome airport. While you are here, check out Seward Peninsula’s history of gold-mining and dog-sledding. However, it is also home to amazing marine life such as king crabs, beluga whales and seals.
Alaskan NW Adventures Lodge is an off-the-grid subsistence camp just below the Arctic Circle. Most of all, it is a comfortable retreat in truly rustic surroundings. We promote Alaskan ecotourism to preserve our culture and environment. Subsequently, we are pleased to share our part of the world with our guests!
Tom Gray customizes each eco-tour for the time of the year and the desires of his clients. Are you interested in seeing wildlife such as an Eagle’s nest on the shores of the Niukluk River? Perhaps you would like a 4-wheeler ride on the Tundra. See a Muskox within a couple yards from the road or set a Crab Pot out on the ocean. Next fish for the coveted Red (Sockeye) Salmon or catch a rare Trophy Arctic Graying. While you are in Nome, see the Gold Dredging machines of the 1920’s and 2020’s. Visit the natural Hot Springs of the Seward Peninsula. Maybe you want to participate in the Subsistence traditions of the Native Eskimo culture.
Perhaps snow adventures are more your style. Take a snow machine ride through the mountains and over the permafrost tundra. Next, travel to the ocean to see the seals and the Beluga whales. Tour the gold-mining town of Nome with all the history or witness the finish of the great Iditarod Dog sledding race.
Every Summer bring fishing opportunities for everyone, whether you are a seasoned angler or adventurous family. Each trip is unique to the traveler. Perhaps you would like to learn how to fly-fish. Have you ever tried seine fishing? Learn the art of cutting, smoking and drying the salmon in Eskimo subsistence tradition.
At the beginning of the freshwater fishing season there are Rainbow/ Char, King Salmon, Northern Pike and Arctic Grayling. During the mid-season, the Red (Sockeye) Salmon and Chum (Dog) Salmon come into camp and late season bring the Silver Salmon and Dolly Varden.
Constructed in 1980, our Artic lodge offers comforts you would never expect in a remote camp-- including hot showers, comfortable beds with linens, flush toilet, wi-fi and excellent home-cooked meals. Yet you can walk right out the door and look into perfectly clear rivers just teeming with fish.
Your hosts Tom and BJ personally make your trip a great experience. Being raised Seward Peninsula, we know the area! Tom is your personal guide for ecotourism and fishing in the Nome area. After time with us you will take a part of our lives home with you. We will also be blessed to take a part of your life with the time spent with us.
Our camp accommodates 10 people comfortably. It’s a markedly different experience to explore remote Northwest Alaska with a small group ecotour, rather than with hundreds of other travelers in Anchorage. At Northwest Adventures Camp there are no roads only boats, 4-wheelers and snow machines. The small group size allows you see see the wildlife and landscape as it was meant to be. Experience Northwest Alaska with Tom and BJ Gray and you will not be disappointed!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.My condolences to the gray family, tom was a good freind!

We kept a front quarter & half a dozen roasts. The rest of that moose and the other moose our hunting buddy got (his first moose per our culture he had to give away) was passed out to families in our village.

It looks chilly there
If you don't catch any crab you can always eat the bait. Go get em.
That's awesome. On my bucket list. I'm in Fairbanks can I come try this? Must be a complete adventure.
Need a bigger pot You could feed the whole village with that
I can't wait to come do that again with you. I was a blast
Ive been wanting to do this in Nome for years. Maybe I can make it happen soon.
You two are so hard working. Always on the move.
I fucking like this
