5.00Our tour guide Jeff was extremely knowledgeable. He made the trip very interesting and fun. We would highly recommend this tour with Jeff. In 6.5 hours he shared with us his love for his hometown with visiting some of his favorite spots. It was a wonderful ending to a great week.

5.00We had the best time traveling around the Anchorage area with Geoff on the way to the airport. Pick up at the cruise port and drop off at the airport was smooth and very convenient. It truly felt like we got a sense of Anchorage as a local from viewpoints, waterfalls, and marshland. Beautiful views and a great sense of Alaska’s impressive biodiversity. Definately recommend this tour.

5.00My family had the pleasure to enjoy the best tour ever with Alaska Horizon Adventure. My guide contacted me a day earlier and has been keeping me updated on the weather, clothes to wear, and details on how to pick us up from the busy cruise terminal. We were given the options if we would like to visit interesting places on enroute even those spots are no listed on the itinerary. Our guide is very friendly and knowledgable, and has taken such great care of everyone. We had such a wonderful time throughout the tour that we would highly recommend Alaska Horizon Adventure!
Amazing choice!!

5.00Wow! I knew it would be good after reading the reviews, but Kevin was exceptional. We traveled as a group of 9. My 80 year old father had his wheelchair and walker with him and Kevin made it all work and fit which isn’t easy! Snacks and a drink were provided. We stopped for lunch and several really cool places. I can’t imagine a better or more convenient way to spend our day after getting off the cruise ship in the morning when our flight didn’t leave until 10:30pm. This is worth every penny. Kevin - thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our group!!!!
Throughly enjoyable way to get to the ANC airport

5.00The driver was wonderful . . . accommodating and kind. It was a comfortable ride with water and snacks freely provided. The actual itinerary differed slightly from the one advertised but I can't imagine one better than what we experienced. The Virgin Creek Falls were AMAZING! We also enjoyed the Wildlife Center and seeing the museum in Portage Valley.

5.00Daniel was an experienced, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide! I booked it at the last minute and thought I was just getting an airport transfer (my fault for waiting till the last minute and not looking at the details carefully). What a delightful surprise to find out we were making all those amazing stops and learning so much along the way! I especially loved the option to go hiking in the National Forest, which was the absolute highlight of my entire 10-day Cruise! Best excursion ever!!! 10 out of 10, I highly recommend everyone transfer with Alaska Horizon Adventure!!! Thank you, Daniel for such a wonderful day!

5.00This transport tour from Whittier to Anchorage with Alaska Horizon Adventure was wonderful! Our driver Kevin was friendly, warm, fun, and accommodating to the needs of everyone. The day proceeded in a very flexible way, as Kevin wanted to do all he could to meet the needs of every passenger. He went far above and beyond for everyone in ways I never expected. He was simply wonderful and made a day that could have been a logistical nightmare stress free and fun. I cannot begin to recommend this company or Kevin highly enough. Thank you for everything and for making our last day in Alaska as lovely as our cruise.
