Welcome Visitors to the Great State of Alaska! You have come to the right place to experience Anchorage and the surrounding area. With its awe-inspiring views, countless wildlife, and endless activities, you will see why I and many others call the Last Frontier home. My name is Bruce, I moved to Alaska 28 years ago looking for adventure and to experience the challenges and beauty this majestic state has to offer. I have found all of that and more. Being an avid outdoorsman, I have taken all the opportunities that have come my way in this wilderness wonderland. I have sailed countless miles along the unspoiled coastline, floated hundreds of miles on the Yukon River, and explored the Artic numerous times, plus, many other adventures to long to list. Spending many years traveling for my job to remote villages and locations throughout the state, I have built a vast knowledge and enthusiasm for this great country that I like to share with others. It's not about what I have done in the past, but what I am now, which is a guide. I am a great communicator, and I get along with everyone. Working hard to provide you with an exceptional experience is my goal. I can customize any of the tours to accommodate your needs and desires. Just email me, and we can discuss your priorities. Every day is an adventure in life, and this especially holds true here, let's share one together! Boat Captains License First Aid Certified No restrictions.

Overview of your Anchorage tour
In 1915 Anchorage was just a tent city located at the mouth of Ship Creek and got its start from the completion of a rail line that ran from Seward to Fairbanks. See for yourself and join me on this scenic tour, where I will show you the natural beauty of Alaska's largest city. At each stop, you will have time to explore the location, take pictures and learn about the local history. Our last stop will be an overlook of Anchorage called "Flat Top, " from this location, you will view the city below, plus the Alaska Range, Cook Inlet, and on a clear day, the tallest mountain in North America, "Denali. "The tour will take you to landmarks such as Ship Creek, Potter Marsh, Lake Hood, Beluga Point, Potter's Marsh, Flat Top, and more. As your tour guide, I can customize the tour to meet your interests. The schedule and activities can be adjusted to your needs.

Bruce was an excellent tour guide in every way. Tailored tour to our interests and very knowledgeable.
Linda H.United States
Bruce is an incredible guide and is extremely considerate of his passengers need, wants and desires. I had two wonderful days in Anchorage learning and doing things I never had encountered before. Especially enjoyed getting "off the beaten path". The Musk Ox Farm, Reindeer Adventure, the Russian orthodox church and grave site, up a mountain where they hang glide and 2 beautiful Gondola adventures. The weather was fantastic, did not even need a jacket. So, between Bruce and God I had an incredible two days!!! 2 Days May 2026 LBH

Bruce was absolutely amazing. We had the day to get from Whittier to Anchorage at the end of our cruise and spent six hours getting us to the airport in the best possible way. He has encyclopedic knowledge of local flora and fawna, history, and hearing his own personal story sounds a lot like the true Alaska experience. We saw more wildlife with him than we did on ship and at the stops. The itinerary Bruce pulled together for us was very accessible for my walker-dependent mom, the pace was brisk but not rushed, and the spot he picked out for lunch, Gwennies, was the top lunch for us for the week. Cordial, considerate and kind - he's the perfect guy to know when you don't know anybody in town. If you're looking for the best possible guide in and around Anchorage, get yourself a Bruce.

Our guide was very accommodating and responsive to our needs and wishes. He knew Anchorage extremely well and showed us all the hot spots! Would definitely recommend him.

This was the best decision we could have made! Bruce is so knowledgeable about the history of the area. The entire day was filled with beautiful sites, history and best of all conversation! Bruce answered our questions along the way and tailored the conservation to our interests. Our time with Bruce couldn’t have been better. Thank you, Bruce!!!
