Great way to spend a day - Great way to see Alaska! With a small group of only 4 we were able to spend plenty of time at each stop. Tim was an excellent narrator and host with a wide range of knowledge. He took us places that we would probably not have seen on our own. A widlife preserve, glaciers, rainforest, salmon spawning and great views along the coast. We stopped for lunch at the brewery and had excellent food at the food truck. Great value for the experience. We also appreciated being picked up at our hotel

Amazing Anchorage Activity - Glaciers, wildlife, and fauna filled our day today here in Alaska…though rainy at times, we loved every aspect of seeing salmon spawning, stunning glaciers, native wildlife, and rainforest fauna and flora! Tim provided constant narration with humor and insight. We stopped in Girdwood for a smoked salmon crepes for lunch and my husband enjoyed the brewery and beer! Perfect first day in Alaska and highly recommend this tour!
