Top Anchorage Bus Tours

I rarely write reviews, but this experience touched my heart so much that I couldn’t not share it. What an absolutely extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime Alaskan adventure! From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by people who were genuinely kind, welcoming, professional, and full of positive energy. Every person we encountered went above and beyond, and it made an already incredible experience feel truly magical. Ashley was our driver, and we absolutely loved having her with us. She was so knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely wonderful to spend time with. She made us feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. Sam was our pilot, and I have to admit, I was nervous! But he was absolutely fantastic. He made the flight feel smooth, safe, and so much fun. I’ll never forget looking out at the breathtaking Alaskan scenery and realizing I was actually experiencing something I had only dreamed about. And then there was Maddie, our dog sled musher. She was AMAZING! She was so cool, so knowledgeable, and such a perfect match for us. We loved her energy and her personality, and you could truly feel the love she has for what she does. Learning from her and experiencing the dogs up close was something I will carry with me for a very long time. Honestly, the scenery was breathtaking, the adventure was unforgettable, and the entire experience was incredible—but it was the PEOPLE who made it truly special. Ashley, Sam, Maddie, and everyone behind the scenes: thank you for putting so much heart into what you do. You gave us memories that we will talk about for years to come. ❤️ If you are considering this excursion, DO IT! You get so much more than you think you’re getting. You get an experience filled with adventure, beauty, kindness, laughter, and people who genuinely care about making your day unforgettable. Absolutely 5 stars!

This was a great half day tour that provided an overview of the natural landscape and Turnagain Arm and just the right amount of time at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. Our guide Rina was friendly, knowledgeable, and super flexible for photo stops and logistics. The hotel pickup was a big plus and Rina was very communicative on arrival times to minimize waiting. If you only have a short time in Anchorage, or want to fit in a tour before an evening flight or after a red eye while you’re waiting for your room to be ready, this is perfect.

Alaska Helicopter Tours delivered a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. They picked us up right at our Anchorage hotel for the easy hour-long drive to the launch point, and the whole team was friendly and accommodating from start to finish. The flight out to Knik Glacier was thrilling — breathtaking views and an exceptionally smooth ride. Our pilot, Jake, was professional throughout and made sure we felt well cared for the entire time. Standing on the glacier itself was humbling. Walking on thousand-year-old ice and taking in the sheer scale of this 25-mile glacier left us in awe, and the crystal-blue meltwater streams were incredible to see up close. The return flight brought its own magic — we spotted a black bear, three moose in separate waterholes, and two white mountain goats along the way. This was an experience and a set of memories we'll carry with us for a lifetime.

This is such a beautiful experience. Our day started with our driver, Kevin who picked us up at our hotel. We stopped by a place to grab lunch to either eat there or along the way. Our drive was pleasant. Kevin is awesome! We learned about Alaska and had some great conversations during our two hour ride. Now, the hike, wow! What an awesome experience. We stopped a lot to take pictures and the memories in. It was safe and absolutely gorgeous! If you’re in the area, this is a must do! Just absolutely breathtaking and amazing experience!

Our excursion was a lot of fun Dan with White Raven was awesome, you have heard the saying when you’re delt lemons in life make lemonade. That’s exactly what Dan did made the experience great with the heavy rain we were experiencing we saw lots of bears , a wild moose on the roadside. He didn’t want us to be disappointed bc of the weather and added a little bonus of stopping at the chocolate shop.

Our driver and tour guide Don was not only very pleasant but extremely knowledgeable about the places we were visiting. He showed up on time, and showed great care and concern for guests during the tour. The van was very clean and well stocked with bottled water and snacks. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Don as the tour guide.

This was a great excursion. It was warm inside of the cabin, even though it was cold outside and rainy. We were able to go out at certain points and get a better view and better photographs. The captain and the crew were wonderful. This is a must do tour.

We had a wonderful experience on the Anchorage Aurora Tour and Northern Lights Photo Tour. Everything was well organized, and the experience felt very special from start to finish. Our guide, Erica, was amazing. She was kind, patient, knowledgeable, and very supportive throughout the tour. It was very cold (-18 F), but she still took great care of us the whole time. We especially appreciated the calendars and the hot chocolate, which made the experience even more thoughtful and comforting. She helped make everyone feel comfortable and did a great job guiding us during the photo experience. Her encouragement and professionalism really made the night even better. The scenery was beautiful, and the whole tour was memorable. We really appreciated all the effort that went into helping us enjoy the northern lights and capture great photos. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Erica as your guide.
