Hay Food Trucks locales en el lugar todos los días durante los meses de verano, y los fines de semana en los meses de invierno. Almuerzo en una cervecería pintoresca con food trucks es una experiencia que combina buena comida, cerveza artesanal y la belleza de la naturaleza. Imagina sentarte en una mesa de picnic de madera en un patio soleado, rodeado de vegetación exuberante y montañas ondulantes. El aire es fresco, y una suave brisa lleva el aroma terroso del lúpulo y la comida a la parrilla. La cervecería y sala de grifos de 3,040 pies cuadrados tiene vistas panorámicas de las montañas de Chugach circundantes, puede tomar una cerveza en nuestra sala de grifos con marco de madera. Hay un impresionante jardín de cerveza con un fogón, para aquellos que prefieren disfrutar de sus cervezas en un entorno más natural.
Earthquake Park ofrece a los visitantes una visión de uno de los momentos cruciales en la historia de Alaska: el terremoto de 1964. El terremoto del 27 de marzo (Viernes Santo) midió una magnitud de 9,2 y fue el mayor terremoto jamás registrado en América del Norte. Un pronunciado desnivel al norte del parque y las peculiares colinas onduladas en el bosque de abajo son evidencia del enorme terremoto que alteró para siempre el paisaje de Anchorage. Las exhibiciones informativas cuentan la historia de las fuerzas geológicas en juego ese día y la historia de Anchorage antes y después del terremoto.
La base de hidroaviones de Lake Hood en Alaska es la base de hidroaviones más grande y concurrida del mundo. La base de hidroaviones de Lake Hood, o base de hidroaviones de Lake Hood, se encuentra a unas cuatro millas del centro de Anchorage. Los visitantes y pasajeros pueden ver casi 1.000 hidroaviones estacionados por todo el lago de la base marítima. ¡Mira cómo despegan y aterrizan los hidroaviones! Conozca la historia detrás de esto.
Se asignarán 1,50 horas restantes para el tiempo de viaje, entre paradas, desde la recogida en Whittier hasta la entrega en Anchorage.
¡Degustando los mejores chocolates! Hay cuatro cocinas llamadas Jam and Jelly Kitchen, Hot Kitchen, Candy Kitchen y Moulding Room. Puede ver las cuatro cocinas en acción a través de los ventanales de nuestra tienda. Vea la cascada de chocolate de 20 pies de Alaska. La cascada de chocolate incorpora más de 3000 libras de chocolate, auténticas teteras de cobre para dulces y un sistema de calentamiento y mezcla especialmente construido. El chocolate brota del cabezal de la fuente, cae en cascada por las teteras y luego se asienta en la piscina de chocolate arremolinada. ¡Una vista increíble de ver!

It's a nice way to finish off the end of your cruise.... The driver was great. All of the stops were wonderful, and the driver was also very nice and knowledgeable.... I always say you can't get better scenery in alaska than the drive from whittier to anchorage. Scenic splendor.
A great way to see some "off the beaten trail" spots on the way yo Anchorage. Would be really great for those that are flying out the same day as it eats up a good bit of time. At the airport drop off, the guide told those with laye flights they could drop off their bags at airport storage then brought them in to downtown as well. Our guide (Dan) was super friendly, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to accommodate everyone. Would definitely recommend.
This transit tour was an entertaining way to spend the day traveling from the port of debarkation to the Anchorage airport. There were multiple stops for photos, visits to a wildlife refuge and chocolate factory, and an enjoyable lunch at a brewery. Our host was very knowledgeable and entertaining and went out of his way to make sure that we were taken care of.
It was fantastic. Ken took us to some wonderful places and offered great knowledge of Alaska. Highly recommend taking this tour.
Dan was a great guide very knowledgeable and friendly and couldn’t do enough to make the tour enjoyable. Highly recommend White Raven tours AK!
Great transfer! We had a lot of rain but Kim did a great job making the stops as enjoyable as possible. We loved the conservation center and the chocolate factory, and the whole tour was very smooth. Kim did a great job accommodating my mom with mobility issues. I would book with this company again.
Clean vans. Very friendly and informative guide. Highly recommend
Great way to get from the cruise ship to the airport! Lots of fun stops with great views and even saw a mama moose with her baby!
Fantastic half day trip between our cruise and airport drop off ! Dan and Kim were very knowledgeable, helpful and very easy going ! You could tell they loved what they were doing and were in no rush at all . We got to see a lot in the amount of time we had available! Highly recommend this !
We had a last minute booking White Raven for our travel from the cruise ship to Anchorage. It’s the beginning of our travel started with the employees at the port not allowing us to enter the parking lot to get on the van. Dan Dan got out of the van and went to go look for us by that time we had made it over to the van. This is just one small detail out of many that made us very happy with this choice for transportation. The list of stops and places we passed by made for the price of this transportation in and of itself. Dan took the to talk personally with each passenger, which also made for a very pleasant experience because you felt like you were an important part of the journey. All of the tour guides that we had during our vacation, he was hands-down, the most knowledgeable and gave us, what felt like, the most accurate and reliable information versus a lot of the tall tales that we heard along the way he also made sure that we knew that he researched his information and that he wasn’t providing second hand accounts of stories that may not be true or factual. I personally appreciate this because I am one to go research information for validity. I also don’t want to go back home to the people stories about Alaska that aren’t true. The places that were curated for our stock were amazing. We stopped at portage glacier, Lake Hood, the animal conservation place, and a couple other lakes. The pictures and views were beautiful. We stopped at a fantastic brewery with food trucks for lunch and a chocolate factory with excellent chocolate. We then traveled to view earthquake park, where we learned about the events of that tragic day and then to the sea plane storage area. Again, Dan filled our minds with wonderful information you just don’t get out of an every day tour guide. The ultimate icing on the cake though, we needed to stop somewhere to ship a bag back. Without hesitation he took us to the post office to get this done, saving us about 40 bucks in transport fees if we had to be dropped off at one or catch a cab from airport and back. He also personally took one couple direct to their AirBnB and another group to check their luggage at the airport and dropped them off in downtown or so to enjoy their final few hours in town before flying out. He was so pleasant about all this and to go this extra mile for his guest is simply amazing. They don’t have to do this and no one should be expect any guide to go to this level of accommodation and personalization. Alaska will loose a true gem if the day comes when he and his spouse No longer offer guides. Oh!! And they also do different excursions, so be sure to ask about those and take them. If we were staying an extra couple days like originally planned, we would have immediately booked the glacier walk tour they offer as well. Thank you so much for a fantastic last day in Alaska that was stress free, insightful and very very enjoyable. It was a pleasure!!!
It was a pleasure showing you both part of Alaska and thank you soooo much for your kind words. I truly hope you and your husband return for that glacier walk!!! Dan
