Alaska Adventure Tours with Chugach Adventures
Explore Alaska’s glaciers, rivers, wildlife, and amazing scenery on one of our Alaska adventure tours from Girdwood, Alaska — Alaska’s best mountain resort town & only 45 minutes from Anchorage. Our tours are located in the Chugach National Forest- the 2nd largest National forest in the U.S. and also entirely in the Kenai Mountains – Turnagain Arm National Heritage Area– Alaska’s Only National Heritage Area. Our locally owned & operated guide service provides many options to get up close into the glaciated Chugach & Kenai Mountains – Rafting, Kayaking, Glacier Treks, Salmon Bakes & Heli Hiking in the summer.
Most of our tours take place at Spencer Glacier which is accessed by the AK Railroad or by Helicopter. This amazing location captivates all that visit and is not to be missed. Our Alaska adventure tours at Spencer Lake allow you to get up close to icebergs and check out the glacier blue ice.
If you have any additional questions about Southcentral Alaska or beyond, we are happy to assist you with planning & making your trip to Alaska as memorable as possible. We are one of the few guide teams in Alaska that has a local hire policy and we will connect you to the vast & wild Alaska that we love.
