The Top 3 Water Tours in Anchorage

You never know quite what you’ll see on an Anchorage water tour. Whether you’re eager to spot seabirds like puffins or kittiwakes, or marine mammals like whales or sea lions, we have a tour to meet your needs and interests. Explore the beautiful Cook Inlet or the Kenai Fjords, both of which are incredibly scenic areas that host diverse wildlife. You’re really in for a treat in this part of Alaska!

If you’re looking for a more intimate excursion, then the Small Boat Whale Watching and Sightseeing Tour is a great option. Take epic photos at the Harding Icefield, where you’ll see friendly porpoises, calving glaciers, and whales - incredibly, you can spot humpback, minke, fin, and orca whales here! Make sure you keep an eye on nearby land too, as you might catch glimpses of mountain goats and powerful bears!

The Half Day Guided Fishing Trip is perfect if you want the Alaskan fishing experience but don’t have a whole day to spare. Imagine yourself kitted up and standing on the riverbank of a pristine Alaskan river, surrounded by soaring snow-capped peaks and the gorgeous spruce and birches of the Chugach National Forest. Fish for salmon and trout on a customized trip that will somehow manage to leave you relaxed and invigorated at the same time! 

The Bears, Trains & Icebergs Tour is for visitors who want a jam-packed day of Anchorage’s best activities. Experience one of North America’s top ten train rides (according to National Geographic), stopping to see rehabilitating bears and epic glaciers en route. One thing’s for sure - you’ll never forget this tour!

Because the waters surrounding Anchorage are so attractive and offer prime wildlife spotting opportunities, Anchorage water tours can sell out quickly. So, if there’s a particular excursion you want to join, make sure you book early to avoid disappointment.
