Hey friends! My name is Brittney, I’m the owner and founder of Escaping Anchorage.
I was inspired to start this company while waiting tables because every single day I would get the question “What is there to do for a few hours around Anchorage?”
Most visitors with this question had just checked out of their hotel, returned their rental car, and needed some entertainment for a few hours before their flight. There are neat things to do around town, but no one really comes to Alaska to hang out in the city.
After enough of the same question, I decided to organize accessible tours at an affordable price for travelers (or locals!) in need. Thus, Escaping Anchorage was born. We offer easy guided tours just a little off the beaten path to see glorious waterfalls, stunning lakes, and enthralling vistas. Explore the wilder side of Anchorage with Escaping Anchorage.
Welcome Alaskan Travelers!
I would like to extend a personal invitation to explore Alaska intimately. I have designed our excursions for couples, families, and smaller groups traveling together.
As a veteran Alaskan High School Educator of 30+ years, my passion is to show you a more interesting, “less traveled” Alaska. You can expect to see the big sites that are must-see destinations for all travelers intermixed with the “Real” Alaska out-of-the-way sites that will showcase the less visited, local experiences of the last frontier.
As a Tribal Citizen, Alaskan Private Pilot, and Experienced Tour Guide, I truly enjoy sharing facts, sights, and experiences of the 49th State.
Alaska is a place of dreams, midnight sun, auroras, and wildlife.
Our mission: When you choose Welcome Anchorage Tours, you will experience an unforgettable personal encounter with Alaska that will enrich your life.
