Getting into nature's beauty is one thing, but being a part of its very real adventure is something that you can experience by braving the elements on a Nova Raft and Adventure Tour. Nova has been leading rafting trips since 1975, and that distinction makes them Alaska's most experienced wilderness guide company. And it really doesn't matter if you prefer to brave the unrelenting white water or choose instead to paddle along, Nova has a trip that's perfect for you. The daytrip packages are usually four or five hours, and some include glacier hikes. Special overnight excursions are also available.

Got your rod and reel but don't know where to cast your line? Two of the most popular fishing spots near Anchorage are Bird Creek and Mat-Su Valley Lakes. Bird Creek is where you may find silver and good pink salmon at the end of your line. The creek is about an hour's drive south of downtown Anchorage. The Mat-Su Valley Lakes are about 40 minutes north of town and the quiet atmosphere is a welcome getaway where you can catch trout, Arctic Char and landlocked salmon.

As a couple, it's always good to have a lot in common. But if the one thing that the two of you have in common the most is stress, then that situation can be changed for the better with a visit to the Alaska Institute of Oriental Medicine, Acupuncture & Massage Therapy. The two of you can relax and enjoy not only each other's company, but also a menu of full therapeutic services that will have both of you feeling completely relaxed in no time. The Center is open seven days a week, and walk-ins are welcome, so plan for some real chill time on your next romantic outing.
