Experience the best gold panning tours in Seward, Alaska!

The Gold Panning adventure takes place at our panning site, conveniently located on our property adjacent to Clear Creek. The site is equipped with rustic water troughs set up under a tarp-covered log structure, providing shelter from the elements. Through our personalized demonstrations, you will quickly learn the art of panning while enjoying local history and humor.

While we cannot predict the exact amount of gold or gems you will find, every bag of paydirt contains flakes of gold and other semi-precious stones. This ensures that everyone can discover and take home their very own Alaskan gold and gems.

We provide the pans, local information, historical and geological insights, instruction, glass vials for your gold specimens, and a container for your semi-precious stones, including garnets, fluorite, quartz, red jasper, and many others.
