Choose two guided adventures at Eklutna Lake—biking, hiking, or kayaking—and discover the valley’s scenery, wildlife, and history.
About this tour
Trade the usual sightseeing stop for an active day beside the turquoise waters of Eklutna Lake. Framed by forest and towering peaks, this five-hour guided sampler lets you choose two ways to explore: biking, hiking, or kayaking.
Set out on the lake or trails with your guide, who shares stories of the valley’s flora and fauna, its role as Anchorage’s water source, and the Alaska Native people who have called this place home and worked to protect and restore their ancestral lands. Tandem sea kayaks, mountain bikes, safety equipment, and hiking poles are provided, along with a sandwich, chips, fresh fruit, and bottled water.
Eklutna Lake Outdoor Adventure Sampler offers a memorable way to experience the landscape while learning about its natural and cultural history. Meet at the cabin beside the main parking lot 15 minutes before departure, then choose your two adventures and make the most of your time at the lake.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 11 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Anchorage
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.7. Top 32% in Anchorage means it ranks in the top 32% of tours in Anchorage by this score.
