We will stop at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC), where visitors can get up-close viewings and pictures of Alaska's most iconic animals, including brown bears, moose, caribou, and muskox. From there, the tour will continue down the scenic Portage Valley, where visitors can take in spectacular views of towering mountains, cascading waterfalls, the beautiful Portage Lake, and numerous glaciers, including the Explorer and Byron Glaciers. On the return trip, visitors will enjoy a provided lunch in Girdwood, a quaint town surrounded by the northernmost temperate rainforest. Overall, a tour of Turnagain Arm, the AWCC, and Portage Valley is a fantastic way to experience the natural beauty and wildlife of Alaska and to learn about the history and culture of this incredible state.

Great experience, included lunch and pickup. The only thing I wish I’d brought was a poncho. Loved it

This tour was absolutely...

Published on Dec, 2024

This tour was absolutely fantastic! The guide was incredibly humorous and shared fascinating stories and insights about the beautiful Anchorage scenery. The sandwich he took us to try was a delightful surprise, super tasty and a great addition to the trip. We also had the chance to see lots of wildlife at the reserve, which was truly a highlight of the day.

Full day of spectacular scenery and interesting local knowledge, a great combination!

Picked up at our hotel right on time with Tim our local driver December was a nice time to visit not so busy so just 4 of us in the minibus. We started at 8:45 still dark but the drive as it was getting light was still great. The scenery is spectacular and Tim had lots of local knowledge and stopped at some pretty stops for photos. The wildlife Conservation Centre was nice to see the bison, muskox in particular were very close for photos. Stunning views of the mountains along the way, the tide was out on the mud flats going but in when we travelled back. The stop for a late lunch in Girdwood was the best sandwich we have ever eaten, worth the longer trip just for this spot. On the way back we stopped at Beluga Point at sunset and the colours with the clear sky & sun against the mountains was absolutely gorgeous. To note you need warmer clothes as it’s a lot colder than in Anchorage but well worth the longer trip of 6-7 hrs.
