Anchorage City Day Tour: Lake Hood Seaplane Base, Earthquake Park and Captain Cook Monument

Very Well Organized

This city tour gave us a great overview of Anchorage. From historic downtown spots to local nature highlights like Earthquake Park and Lake Hood, everything was interesting. Our guide had a great sense of humor and was full of fascinating facts. The pace was just right—not rushed at all. I especially liked the time we spent along the shoreline—it was peaceful and beautiful.
