Riverboat Discovery is a family-owned tourism business based in Fairbanks, Alaska, operating within the hospitality sector. Its heritage reflects more than a century of Binkley family steamboating, beginning with early river excursions in 1950 aimed at sharing Alaska’s culture with visitors and expanding over time to larger vessels such as the Discovery III. Its offerings blend a sternwheel river excursion with a gold mining attraction and incorporate depictions of Alaska’s mining history along with features like the Trans Alaska Pipeline and a replica of the Tanana Valley Railroad. The tours target travelers seeking culturally informed, historically grounded experiences in Alaska, and the business remains under multi-generational family leadership. The company operates from 1975 Discovery Drive in Fairbanks and maintains a small to mid-sized team.
