About Us
We are proud to be Southcentral and Interior Alaska’s go-to tour operator. Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, boasts world-class restaurants, nightlife, museums, and public spaces all set amidst the amazing backdrops of the Chugach Mountains and Cook Inlet. Fairbanks, located in the heart of our state, offers incredible aurora borealis experiences and access to the starkly beautiful Arctic region, plus excellent opportunities for dog mushing, skiing, and hiking.
Both Anchorage and Fairbanks offer visitors the creature comforts of a large city and convenient access to the majesty of Alaska’s wilderness. Massive mountains, abundant wildlife, and a unique history all lie within a short drive from each city.
Locals know how to enjoy their beautiful surroundings and they know where to go for maximum fun. Greatland Adventures is proud to call both Anchorage and Fairbanks our home cities.
Join us in either (or both) communities and let us share our love for this amazing state with our wide range of tours that capture what it’s like to live, work, and play in the far north.
