Alaska Aviation History Tour

Experience the world’s busiest floatplane base. This tour takes riders around the home of Alaska’s floatplanes at Lake Hood. You’ll see plenty of aircraft activity and will learn about the history of the seaplane base and the important role of aviation in historic and current day Alaska. It is combined with a stop at the Alaska Aviation Air Museum to see historic aircraft and hear stories how they contributed to the development of Alaska. This is a great tour for visitors with no prior Segway experience. The trail is flat and the only obstacles may be planes taxiing around you.
