About Alaska's Finest Tours & Adventures
Alaska's Finest Tours & Adventures is a 100-percent Alaska Native-owned tour company offering year-round guided excursions and shuttle services between Anchorage and Girdwood. The company was built on the belief that visitors deserve a genuine, locally guided experience of Southcentral Alaska — not a mass-market bus tour — and their small-group format reflects that philosophy.
Their Girdwood lineup includes the Scenic Turnagain Arm Tour with stops at Beluga Point for mountain and wildlife viewing, the Girdwood Wildlife Express featuring brown bears, moose, muskox, and bison at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, and the Portage Glacier Explorer combining a boat cruise on the M/V Ptarmigan with glacier viewing. Flexible half-day and full-day options let guests mix hiking, dining, and Alyeska Resort activities at their own pace. Year-round scheduling means winter visitors get the northern lights and snow-covered mountain vistas.
What distinguishes Alaska's Finest is their Indigenous ownership and deep community roots. Guides share cultural context alongside natural history, and the company actively supports local businesses by incorporating Girdwood restaurants and shops into their itineraries. For visitors without a rental car, their shuttle service is the most convenient way to reach Girdwood from downtown Anchorage.
