Day 2 - Anchorage City Touring/Prince William Sound
Anchorage sits at the crossroads of culture, heritage, and
nature and is brimming with sites that illustrate them all. Set
your sights upon some of the most popular as you venture through
the city on this morning's guided tour. Stops along the route may
include places like Earthquake Park, Point Woronzof, or Lake Hood,
where seaplanes abound. The museum buildings are beautiful, as are
the local parks. Our tour concludes with a visit to the Alaskan
Native Heritage Center, which opened in 1999 as a place to
celebrate and explore Alaska's indigenous people.
Later this afternoon, the group joins a motorcoach for a scenic
drive alongside Turnagain Arm. Look over the calm waters surrounded
by snow-capped mountains. You may even be lucky enough to see
whales breaching or other marine life surfacing. Our drive takes us
to the port town of Whittier, where a boat awaits to guide us
through the gorgeous surroundings of Prince William Sound in the
Gulf of Alaska to Valdez. We transfer to the hotel on arrival and
enjoy the rest of the evening at leisure in our new locale.
