We get this question a lot: “So… how does this whole audio tour thing work?” It’s easy! If you can use a smartphone, you can use Audio Tour Alaska—and once you try it, you’ll never want to drive another Alaskan highway without it.

Step one: Head to the App Store and search for Audio Tour Alaska. Give that beautiful app a download—it’s free to install and works on both Apple and Android devices.

Step two: Once you’re in the app, browse our tours by destination. Whether you’re dreaming of Denali, heading to Homer, or ready to cruise the Parks or the Seward Highway, we’ve got a tour for you. Each one is packed with fun stories, jaw-dropping facts, and local secrets you won’t hear on the bus tours.

Let’s say you’re driving from Anchorage to Seward. (Great choice, by the way—that route is chef’s kiss). Just purchase the tour for Anchorage to Seward inside the app. You’ll get instant access, and the whole thing is downloaded to your phone, so it works completely offline. That’s right—no signal? No problem.

Now the fun part. When you’re ready to roll, just open the app and start the tour while you’re in Anchorage. Chapter 1 will automatically start playing, welcoming you to the journey. As you drive south along the Turnagain Arm and beyond, your phone’s GPS does the magic—each chapter will play automatically at just the right time and place. You don’t have to press a single button (unless you’re cranking up the volume).

You’ll hear stories about glaciers and bears, learn about the naming of mountains, and find out what makes Beluga whales show up when the tide rolls in. It’s like having a local friend in the car, but without the need to share snacks.

Pro tip: Use bluetooth or bring a charging cable to sync to your car stereo if you can. The audio is crisp, the narration is fun, and the drive will fly by.

So there you have it—download, pick a tour, hit the road, and let us do the storytelling. Your Alaskan road trip just got a serious upgrade.
