Anchorage

Welcome to Anchorage

Anchorage is Alaska’s biggest city, with 40% of the state’s population, but that is still less than 300,000 residents and awesome wilderness dominates this unique destination. In fact, the towering peaks and dense forests of Chugach State Park are mostly within the Anchorage city limits. Visitors can go dogsledding on a glacier in the morning and enjoy craft beers in downtown breweries in the afternoon. The city bustle, art and music, museums, and the Native American Heritage Center are all located within minutes of alpine hikes, wilderness lakes, excellent mountain biking, incredible wildlife and more in this amazing Alaskan city.

Fun and informative -- a great way to spend some time in Anchorage!
We had a great, fun time on this tour. Our guide, Ean, was informative and entertaining, and we got a nice overview of Anchorage. At one of the photo stops, we were surprised by the view of Denali, which is not "out" about 70% of the time, so it was very special to see it and be able to photograph it. I highly recommend this tour.

Helpful and Interesting
This was a great idea and we really enjoyed the information we learned about the area and Denali National Park. The only - very minor - downside was that you got the same stories on your return trip but it was still helpful to know where/when to turn for things you wanted to stop and see.

A peaceful and charming area of Alsaka
Will was charming and professional with expert local knowledge. We both learned much about Hatcher Pass and Palmer from his personal expertise of the area as this is his home! It was a wonderful experience that proved to be distinct from all of the other areas we visited in Alaska. We are glad we went on this as we both enjoyed what we saw and learned a lot about the area surrounding Palmer from a local who represents his home very well. By the way, although we chose not to, you can try your hand at panning for gold!

Vroom Vroom on the ATV!!!
We had an incredible ATV tour in Girdwood, Alaska! From start to finish, the experience was so much fun. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable, whether it was their first time on an ATV or they had ridden before.The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. We rode through beautiful forest trails with stunning mountain views, crossed streams, and had plenty of opportunities to stop for photos. The guides also shared interesting facts about the area and its wildlife, which made the experience even more enjoyable.The ATVs were in excellent condition and easy to operate, and the pace was perfect for taking in the incredible Alaskan landscape while still enjoying an exciting ride. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Alaska, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable outdoor adventure in Girdwood. We can't wait to come back and do it again!

Beautiful Alaska
The trip was great, we got up close to a glacier and were able to get some great pictures and videos. The animal refuge was also a great experience and we were likewise able to get a lot of up-close pictures and videos of Alaskan wildlife. And lastly, the views from the tram were breathtaking. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get a good taste of the Alaskan wilderness..

Original, complex and detailed cultural experience.
Free Shuttle pick up with Friendly driver Mark. Some good commentary, plus he also has indigenous heritage. The public tour guide at the centre was excellent despite being a 4 week long intern. Apologies I can’t remember her name 🫢. The building, weapons and clothing were truly impressive, complex and effective. Also saw some traditional dancing which topped off the visit nicely. Would highly recommend and combine with the Anchorage Museum.

Wonderful overall trip.
Had a memorable trip. The day started with light rain so didn't get to see great mountain vistas, but it cleared upon arrival to the park and was able to explore and learn the history of this gold mining town. My tour guide, Ginny, was informative and charming, which made for a memorable day. I would love to chat more with her to learn more about the upcoming Palmer vegetable festival and other experiences.
