Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Longez les rives de Ship Creek en direction de la rampe de mise à l'eau pour petits bateaux. Émerveillez-vous devant la file de pêcheurs essayant d'attraper le saumon pendant la saison de frai estivale !
Tout l'été, les Alaskiens bordent les rives du Ship Creek pour tenter d'attraper le saumon. Visitez l'embouchure de Ship Creek, autrefois un camp de pêche utilisé par les Dena'ina qui récoltaient le saumon reproducteur. À cet arrêt, nous verrons la statue de grand-mère Olga, une importante matriarche Dena'ina qui représente des scènes de vie dans un camp de pêche de subsistance.
Conduisez près de Lake Hood, la base de plans flottants la plus fréquentée au monde ! Arrêtez-vous quelques minutes pour prendre une photo et, espérons-le, regarder un hydravion décoller ou atterrir. Apprenez-en un peu plus sur l'aviation de l'Alaska à ce point de vue panoramique.
Suivez votre guide lors d'une courte promenade dans Earthquake Park pour en savoir plus sur le grand tremblement de terre de l'Alaska qui a secoué le centre-sud de l'Alaska en 1964. Faites attention aux élans dans cette région !
Conduisez jusqu'à un point de vue pittoresque sur la ville d'Anchorage au début du sentier Glen Alps / Flattop Mountain pour une courte promenade. L'un des points d'accès au parc national de Chugach et à divers sentiers de randonnée dans les montagnes de Chugach. Regardez de l'autre côté de Cook Inlet et admirez une vue plongeante sur les bras Turnagain et Knik. Attention aux élans sur le trajet !

Anchorage City Tour and Highlights was an exceptional tour. Our guide, David, was very knowledgeable of the area, its culture and history. The van was comfortable with 360 degree visibility. We visited 4 stops that were key areas in the history of Anchorage and David provided a lot of details in the drive from one stop to another. We were pleasantly surprised by the tour as we were expecting more downtown, but were rewarded with a drive to an overlook outside of the downtown city. Some recommendations: 1. Tell everyone about the Alaska State Bird – the mosquito, in the ”things to know” email. Bug spray and head netting might be a good idea
Good tour but inflexible guide. We wanted drops off on the way but he said not safe to stop anywhere except the pick up point which was untrue. Otherwise knowledgeable and good
If you only have a few hours, this is a good tour. My favorite was the Seaplane base at Lake Hood. We didn’t get to go to Earthquake Park because there were too many mosquitoes. Alex was a great guide.
Relaxing and informative water snacks provided
Really great tour for a very informative, interesting, and enjoyable introduction to Anchorage. Comfortable van, I was seated in the very middle, in a middle seat, and I could see everything anyone else could see. Our guide David was outstanding. So friendly, so knowledgeable, so interesting, and some perfect site visits. Even if we had visited the same sites on our own, it wouldn't have been nearly as meaningful as it was with David's background and insights about everything. One site, I am sure we would never have even found without him, even with GPS. There was nothing bored, or boring, or memorized and rehearsed monotone delivery about this; everything David told us was alive and in the moment, and you knew it came from a deep well of familiarity with and love for Alaska and Anchorage; I know he could have kept talking so much more, and it would have all been super interesting. He kept us engaged and fascinated the entire 2 1/2 hours. I loved the small group, max of 12; so much more personal. I would do this tour again.
Great tour. David is awesome. Highly recomend.
This is a wonderful tour to get to know the city and the whole area/history. Nice little strolls and a lot of info about the nature and people.
It was an amazing experience! Great way to see the wonders of Anchorage.and learn the history . Loved going up to the mountain and visiting some of the historic parks . What a great tour ! Highly recommended if you have a couple of hrs .
You get to know the topology and important sights of anchorage. Alex was very good and took good care of us
David showed us the highlights of Anchorage as well as going up into the mountains. We were lucky with the weather so we saw great views of the city and a black bear. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and answered all the questions we had. Would highly recommend a tour with David.
