Embark on an exploration of Alaska’s largest city on this two-and-a-half hour tour of Anchorage.
The tour starts at 9am and ends at 11:30am.
Begin your historical tour from the heart of downtown, visiting the shores of Ship Creek, where Anchorage was born out of a desire for industry through a modest tent city.
In June and July, you might be able to view Chinook salmon swimming upstream to spawn in the world’s only urban King salmon fishery.
Here, you will walk to the bronze Arctic art installation honoring Grandma Olga Ezi, a Dena’ina First People matriarch who settled the Alaska Native village of Eklutna to the east.
From Ship Creek, you will travel to the west end of Anchorage through Bootleggers Cove, stopping for a walk in Earthquake Park where in 1964, a 9.2 earthquake shook the city for almost five minutes and caused an upheaval of the silty shoreline and bluffs of town; the second-most powerful earthquake ever recorded.
From the park, your guide will take a drive around Lake Hood, home to the world’s busiest seaplane airport and base.
Finally, the tour van winds its way up the Hillside neighborhood of Anchorage toward a scenic overlook within the Chugach State Park system, your final stop. Weather permitting, you have the opportunity to take panoramic photos of Anchorage, surrounding mountain ranges, and stunning Cook Inlet.
While wildlife viewing is not guaranteed during this tour through the City of Flowers & Lights, Anchorage is known for its big wildlife and it is not uncommon to see an occasional moose or bald eagle.
Return downtown to explore the local shops and eateries or join us for an afternoon tour!
Complimentary snacks and water are provided.
