Keep an eye out for sea otters, Steller sea lions, bears, mountain goats, whales, and more! You will see several glaciers, including Tebenkof Glacier, named for Mikhail Demitrievich Tebenkof, an outstanding surveyor whose maps were the first charts of Alaska’s waters published in 1852.

Anchorage Ice Fishing Adventure with transportation
This unique Alaskan experience is the only one of its kind offered in the Anchorage area. Get out and enjoy the beauty of Alaska! On a clear day we'll see as many as four mountain ranges in Southcentral Alaska, We'll spend our time on a small frozen lake in the Anchorage area. Using the latest electric ice auger, guests can help drill through anywhere between 6 inches to 3 feet thick ice. At times we'll see fish swimming below, either while looking through an 8-inch hole in the ice, or using technology to watch fish move below on sonar images on a depth finder. At times we may fish with jigs or spoons, at other times, hooks, bait and a bobber. We'll often see moose in the woods around town or at the edge of the lake. Bald eagles often watch from the trees nearby, looking for a free meal. Relax and enjoy the fishing, we'll take care of all the messy work and heavy lifting - except perhaps lifting the heaviest fish of the day from the water!

eBike History Tour of Anchorage
This is a combined local Anchorage history and ebike tour. The ebikes ensure a pleasant and relaxing ride covering a large swath of Anchorage city. You will be guided on a tour through Anchorage's history, from pre-colonization through the present era. Along the "way" we'll cover Anchorage's history as a tent city labor camp to the aviation hub to the military buildup in World War II and through the oil-boom of the 1980s. The bike tour will mostly be along Anchorage's scenic greenbelt trails, including the Coastal Trail. Our route also takes us through the Campbell Creek and Chester Creek bike paths, were moose sightings are common. Belugas and bear have also been sighted. All in all it's a fabulous way to spend a half-day in Anchorage, getting to know the city's history, enjoying a near-effortless ebike ride, and seeing the surrounding mountains and (with luck) seeing wildlife.

Alpine Classic Trek
Experience the thrill of ascending to heights offering 360-degree views of the nearby Cook Inlet and interior Chugach mountains. Gaze at deep, glaciated, u-shaped valleys, and giant ridge lines defining the landscape. Imagine pristine, treeless, tundra loaded with vegetation that you can touch, taste, and feel. If you have never seen alpine before, prepare to be amazed! Alpine trekking is an incredibly unique way to see the landscape. You can see endless miles of mountainous terrain. On a clear day, we can even see Mt. Denali hundreds of miles away! Plus, once you're on top, the terrain can be fairly flat, making the trekking a truly enjoyable experience. During the tour, we may see moose, bear, Dall sheep, mountain goats, and a variety of small mammals like arctic squirrels and marmots. There are also plenty of birds to gaze at like bald eagles, thrushes, chickadees, and jays. This is one of our favorite ways to experience Alaska and the Chugach State Park.

Private Scenic Turnagain Arm Glacier Tour from Anchorage
Experience Alaska your way on this fully private and customizable tour. Enjoy the freedom to set your own pace, request photo stops, and personalize the day to match your interests. As your local guide and photographer, I’ll capture the highlights—scenic views, wildlife encounters, and candid group moments—then send you a curated gallery of edited photos. When people picture Alaska, they imagine wild animals, towering mountains, and endless glaciers. Turnagain Arm offers all of that—just a short, scenic drive from Anchorage. This breathtaking inlet is famous for its massive tides, rugged mountain backdrops, and the rare bore tide, where a single wave sweeps across the entire inlet. We’ll journey the Seward Highway, one of North America’s most scenic drives. The road hugs the coastline, offering endless views and chances to spot moose, bald eagles, Dall sheep, and potenitally beluga whales. With private transportation and a flexible itinerary, this is about making the most it.

Wildlife Conservation Center and Portage Glacier Lake Viewing
This is an amazing way to be guaranteed to see many of Alaska's most sought after wildlife in a safe and animal friendly park! The bears are adorable, but trust me, seeing a bear in the wild can be a pretty intimidating. Much of Alaska's wildlife you will never see and even the moose, which are super common, visitors can go days or even weeks without seeing one and sometimes you'll see a few in any given day but visiting Alaska's Wildlife Conservation Center guarantees you'll see these animals and so many more! Licensed by Alaska's Transportation Department, this is for 3 - 10 people because of the way the Viator commissions and Park fees work, if you are just one or two people you can still book the tour but I need to charge for 3 - 10 people to make it feasible, if that makes sense.

Anchorage tour FAQs

Common questions about booking Anchorage experiences through SimilarTours

When's the best time to visit Anchorage for wildlife and tours?

Late May through early September is peak season - you get long daylight hours, ice-free waters for whale watching, and active bears in the interior. The trade-off is crowds and higher prices. If you can swing June or September, you'll dodge the July-August crush while keeping reliable weather.

How far ahead should I book multi-day tours?

The 6 to 11-day grand tours fill up 2-3 months before departure during summer. If you're traveling June through August, aim to book 8-12 weeks out. Shoulder season (May, September) gives you more flexibility.

Are guided tours really worth it in Alaska?

Yes. Alaska is enormous and weather-dependent - a guide handles logistics, knows where animals actually are, and knows what to do if conditions shift. Most people book 5-11 day tours rather than piece together their own itinerary because the per-day cost works out similar and the hassle evaporates.

What should I expect from a typical multi-day tour?

Expect a mix of driving, small-plane flights, boat time, and hiking depending on the package. Tours usually include accommodation and some meals, but check before you go on what's covered. Bring layers - weather changes fast.

I'm arriving by cruise. How do transfers work?

Seward and Whittier are cruise ports, and you'll find dedicated transfer + tour combos from those towns back to Anchorage, or vice versa. These typically run 5-8 hours and include a private or group vehicle plus a sightseeing component. Book these when you book your main tour.

Is there anything good for older travelers?

Yes - there's a 6-day grand tour specifically designed for travelers 50 plus, with a slower pace and easier access. Most other multi-day tours can accommodate different fitness levels, but mention your needs when you book.

Do I need to rent a car in Anchorage?

Not if you're doing a multi-day guided tour - transport is included. For a day in the city itself, ride-shares work fine. If you want to explore on your own, a car helps, but most visitors arrive and leave as part of a tour package.
