The Top 2 Train Tours in Anchorage

If you opt for an Anchorage train tour, then you can look forward to experiencing one of the top ten train rides in North America! The Anchorage Railroad Department’s Coastal Classic Train is a super scenic train route that weaves its way from Anchorage all the way to Seward. Passing by the Turnagain Arm -  a gorgeous stretch of water surrounded by the dramatic peaks of the Chugach Mountains - this train ride is a highlight for many travelers. 

On the Glacier Blue Kayak & Grandview Train Tour, you can combine two exciting adventures into one day to remember. Begin with the Anchorage Railroad experience, taking your seat in one of the comfortable carriages and settling in for a ride to remember. The large windows are ideal for photographing the amazing views, and you’ll get a taste of the scenery to come once you begin the next phase of your tour: kayaking! Get kitted up and slide into your kayak, before paddling your way across Spencer Lake, taking in the snow-covered mountains and giant icebergs as you make your way to the vivid blue face of Spencer Glacier.

For the ultimate combo excursion, consider the Bears, Trains & Icebergs Tour. From enjoying the incredible views outside the window of your Anchorage Railroad train carriage, to exploring the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Centre, this day highlights the best bits of southcentral Alaska. The afternoon will see you visiting the Chugach National Forest and beyond for an exhilarating raft experience on an iceberg-filled lake before a sedate float on the Placer River. This day will leave you tired out but filled with wonderful memories of this little slice of Alaska! 

With such scenic surroundings to discover, our Anchorage train tours are very popular, so book ahead if you can to secure your place!
