Itinerary
Learn the history, origins and how to use an ULU knife used Natives to flay whale and salmon.
Prior to arriving at Earthquake Park we will visit exhibits to learn about the 1964 - 9.2 earthquake.
See the world's busiest Float Plane Lake.
At Alaska Wild Berry Products you will see the World’s Largest Chocolate Water Fall! The falls incorporates over 3000 pounds of chocolate, authentic copper candy kettles, and a specially built warming and mixing system. The chocolate gushes out of the fountain head, cascades down the kettles, then settles in the swirling chocolate pool. And by the way, if you're tempted by the luscious smell to sample some of the flowing melted candy, please don't. The chocolate waterfall is for your visual enjoyment only. The store has plenty of delicious chocolate at the candy counter to your left. And you can sample before you buy.
Visit the Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC) – Ok, so if you're not native, you might think you would have no reason to visit ANMC, but you'd be wrong. At this hospital you will see one of the largest collection of Native Art from all around Alaska that represents over 227 federally recognized tribes in Alaska and rivals anything you will see in a museum. In fact, the collection is probably better. Here you will get a true flavor of Alaska’s rich Native history and learn about ANCSA. There's also a Native craft gift shop that will make you drool... They only mark up the art by 20 percent unlike the 150 percent markup you find downtown. And if you choose to purchase, wouldn't you feel good knowing that the proceeds from your purchase go to improve healthcare? Yeah, we thought so. Often there are Native Artisans on-sight selling their wares and even Native foods. Craft shop is closed on Saturday and Sunday and is only open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Winter All Around City Tour
Donna was the perfect guide! She was knowledgeable, kind and a great driver. We experienced an in depth look at Anchorage and vicinity and its history while taking in many sights! We highly recommended this tour!
Awesome tour to see a lot in a half day
It was relaxed and amazing. Our tour guide, Ina, was awesome. She was very knowledgable and answered all our questions - even recommended a place for dinner that was excellent. We would do this again and definitely recommend it!

The best day exploring Anchorage!
Melissa was exceptional! Her vibe was the best! We had a great time and will definitely recommend 👌 Thank you!
Fun day
Melissa gave us a really fun day! We enjoyed the extra effort she made to take advantage of things that popped up like the moose wandering around the airport:) We also really enjoyed hearing her talk about growing up in Alaska. The very best of travel….seeing a different place and learning about the people who live there. We will always remember the fun day we had with her!
