Itinerary
At this brief but memorable stop, travelers will get a glimpse into the world’s busiest seaplane base — a uniquely Alaskan sight! Watch floatplanes take off and land on the water as your guide shares insight into the vital role aviation plays in everyday life across the state. Surrounded by scenic mountain backdrops and the hum of aircraft engines, it’s a perfect photo opportunity and a fascinating peek into Alaska’s bush pilot culture.
This scenic and historic stop offers a striking view of Anchorage’s past and present. Learn about the powerful 1964 Good Friday Earthquake — one of the most powerful ever recorded — and its lasting impact on the city and landscape. Walk along a short, forested path with interpretive signs, take in panoramic views of Cook Inlet, and spot the geological scars still visible today. It’s a quiet yet powerful reminder of Alaska’s dynamic natural forces, all set against a stunning natural backdrop.
Take in sweeping views of Cook Inlet, the Chugach Mountains, and—on clear days—majestic Denali in the distance. This bluffside viewpoint offers a peaceful moment to soak in Anchorage’s natural beauty. It’s a great spot for photos, spotting floatplanes overhead, or watching the tides roll in. With its wide-open skies and panoramic scenery, Point Woronzof is a refreshing and memorable stop along the tour route.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you had a great time with Luke and enjoyed learning more about Alaska on the driving food tour. We appreciate you joining us!
Anchorage has many yummy locations to enjoy delicious bites. My favorite on this tour was the Lucky Wishbone Diner. The fried chicken drumstick, hushpuppies with honey butter, and the peach milkshake were so good, and the people were so welcoming! Benji's Bakery & Cafe, and él Green-Go's were tasty too. We also visited Motley Moo Creamery, which had yummy ice cream, but I actually prefer Wild Scoops on 5th Avenue. Try the Baked Alaska Cone with wild blueberry ice cream!!! Anchorage has some beautiful scenery, especially when the weather is nice. Alaska gets quite a bit of rainfall, so pack your raincoat. Moose are abundant, but sometimes elusive, so don't be too disappointed if you don't see one on this tour. Our driver, Luke, had wonderful stories about growing up in, and living in Alaska. He was very nice, funny too. Ask your guide to go to Beluga Point when the tide is not low, if possible. Unfortunately there were no Beluga Whales for us to see with a very low tide. That was disappointing, but we don't control the weather or the tides. It is a beautiful area, and the nearby waterfall is lovely. Seeing Lake Hood Seaplane Base, and many of the brightly painted floatplanes was interesting. However, I think it would be nice to see more sites on this tour. If the weather had not been rather rainy and cold, we might have seem more sites. For example, Anchorage has many beautiful murals that are worthy of photography. It was very sweet of Luke to drop us off at our hotel. He is a very nice guide, and loves sharing Anchorage with guests.
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the local food stops, Lake Hood, Beluga Point, and Luke’s Alaska stories. Weather, tides, and wildlife can be unpredictable, but we’re happy you still got to experience some of Anchorage’s favorite bites and sights!

Great food. Went to places locals like. Wonderful personal stories about living in Alaska including being chased by a bear.
Thank you for the great review! We’re glad you enjoyed the local food stops and Alaska stories along the way. The bear story is always a memorable one!

It is okay. The stops are underwhelming. The food was good, but it wasn’t anything special. Make sure your other tours don’t stop at the same places. There were repeats on my other tour.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear the stops did not feel as unique as expected and that there was overlap with another tour you took. Our stops can vary depending on the day, restaurant availability, and tour route, but we understand how repeats could take away from the experience. We appreciate your comments and will keep this in mind as we continue improving our tours.
Tour guide and the drive around Anchorage was great. The food was okay. Was expecting more than just three deserts (small milkshake, cookie and an ice cream cone) and two small portions of pan fried chicken and a fish taco. Not enough food in this tour for the price paid.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the guide and the drive around Anchorage, but I’m sorry the food portion did not meet your expectations. Our stops and portions can vary depending on the day, restaurant availability, and tour timing, but we understand that the balance of sweets and more substantial food is important. We appreciate your comments and will use them as we continue improving the tour experience and working toward a better mix of local food stops.
