Overview

This tour is a great way to experience some amazing sights of Alaska, wildlife, glaciers, and a rainforest within a half day. Your guide will pick you up from downtown Anchorage and drive along Turnagain Arm, which boasts abundant scenic views and Alaskan wildlife within easy access to the city of Anchorage. Along the way, you will learn many interesting facts about this area’s history, animals, and ecosystem from your experienced guide. You will visit the Wildlife Conservation Center, located at the end of Turnagain Arm and surrounded by mountain peaks. You will have the chance to explore on your own and visit the many animals in the center, including brown bears, wolfs, caribou, moose, and the endangered Woodland Bison. After the Wildlife Center, you will have the opportunity to see the majestic Portage Valley, a few miles drive from the Wildlife Center. Here you will enjoy several amazing viewpoints of glaciers, lakes, rivers, and a unique rainforest.

Perfect in Alaska

Published on Oct, 2024

Tour guide was great. Offered tons of information and allowed us to spend ample time in each location. On our way back from the tour, my husband spotted an eagle. She offered to circle back so that we all could see and take pictures (two eagles with a baby eagle and a magpie). The weather was perfect! We also saw Belugas- once you knew what to look.

Melissa was a great tour...

Mathew was a wonderful tour guide for my family. He kept my kids interested and cracked jokes we thought were funny. My 7 year old daughter loved JB one of the older grizzly bears. She thought his initials stood for “Joe Biden” which everyone laughed. The enchanted forest walk we all enjoyed.
