Anchorage Winter Private Half Day Tour

While the city of Anchorage is often seen as a magnet of visitor activity during the warmer months of the year, those who live here through the colder season will attest that it can be a seemingly magical place filled with winter wonderland effects and activities. With limited daylight hours, we will traverse the most densely populated city in the state to view a selection of favorite locales that exemplifies the uniqueness and beauty of this northern town, from the various holiday lighting displays and the busy atmosphere of annual winter competitions (ice/snow sculpting, dog mushing, etc.), to nature's own splendid creations like frozen waterfalls, moose wandering through area neighborhoods, and some of the most spectacular and fiery sunsets anywhere. Note: This tour is only available from November 1 through March 31.
