Whittier to Anchorage Tour Busses - All Day Tours

[Saving Up To Be Eccentric]

Has anyone done or heard of the 7 hour all day bus tours from Whittier to Anchorage? If you have (or know of someone who has) done one of them, is it worthwhile, or should I save money by not going on the tram in Girdwood and the Anchorage tours and just take a narrated bus ride?

As I have seen the view from the top of the Alyeska tram when on skis, I can say that on a clear day the view is spectacular as you see down to the water and across Turnagain Arm. There is no way to predict if you will have a clear day for the view.

 

If you are shakey about heights or flat don't like being on a tram, then skip it.

 

The village of Girdwood is a typical small ski town.

 

Only you can decide if it is worth your $ and your time.

Thanks, Penny. I know that there are no guarantees on cloud cover; appreciate the viewpoint.

Love your sign-on name!

 

I am old enough to be eccentric and endorse it.
