Did Santa Claus put a trip to Alaska under the tree this year? Let Greatland Adventures help plan your visit with tours to fit every age, style, and budget! From a tour and transfer package right from the cruise ship to all-day excursions that venture into Alaska’s rich history, culture, and recreation, Greatland Adventures knows how to show off the best of the 49th state.
Every Greatland Adventures tour offers an all-local guide team of experts who live, work, and play in this amazing part of the world. Transportation from hotels is provided in a fleet of modern vans to ensure a safe and comfortable ride.
Additionally, our tours are always available for booking as a fully private excursion, allowing plenty of time for togetherness.
Here are some of our favorites:
We love to show families the wonder of Alaska, and our team works hard to accommodate the needs of families traveling with kids. Some popular options for youngsters include the Anchorage Private Sightseeing Tours, where in just a few hours, your entire family will learn the history and important sites of either Alaska’s largest city in the comfort of Greatland Adventures’ comfortable vans. See places like Earthquake Park, Lake Hood, the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge, and more!
If you’d like to be more active, introduce the kids to Alaska’s state sport with a Winter Dogsledding Tour. Your family will thrill to the rush that only comes from riding behind an Iditarod sled dog team, plus a chance to learn about the Last Great Race from an Iditarod champion.
It is also possible to turn nearly any Greatland Adventures tour (including northern lights tours) into a private experience for your family or group visiting Alaska with children.
For many visitors, Anchorage is the first stop on the adventure around Alaska. Home to the majority of the state’s population, Anchorage is a hub for transportation, commerce, and government. It’s also a great jumping-off point for further exploration of all the things for which Alaska is famous; glaciers, wildlife, and outdoor recreation.
Don’t have a lot of time to spend in Alaska’s largest city? Greatland Adventures is pleased to offer the fully-private Anchorage Sightseeing Tour, a three-hour immersive adventure that travels through the heart of Anchorage and beyond. Our driver-guides are all locals, and they know all about the neighborhoods and events that make our city special.
From trekking on a glacier to wandering alpine trails, Greatland Adventures has plenty of options for travelers wanting a more active experience.
Walk on centuries-old ice on our Matanuska Glacier Summer Tour or Matanuska Glacier Winter Tour and check out the state’s most accessible river of ice. With an experienced local guide, walk on the amazing blue ice of this massive glacier, and capture incredible photos as you explore the area in a small group of no more than six adventurers per group.
Want to get out into the mountains? Try our Chugach State Park Guided Hiking Tour and explore the flora and fauna of this enormous park just minutes from downtown Anchorage. Your naturalist guide will safely lead you along one of the many trails available in the park, with each day’s hike carefully selected to take advantage of local weather conditions, group ability levels, and group interests.
Greatland Adventures is proud to be one of the go-to tour operators in Alaska, and are constantly working to meet the needs of our guests. This includes the style of tour they wish to book, and for many people, this means accommodating a private tour experience. Psst: Private tours make an amazing engagement experience if you want to ‘pop the question’ during your Alaska adventure!
*Be aware, however, that a private tour requires advance booking, so take time to peruse the Greatland Adventures website with everyone in your party, taking into account the number of people, their ages and abilities, and a general agreement about activities for the day.*
