What To Expect

Anchorage

Downtown Anchorage is a great place to start your local, guided exploration. Your exploration of the largest city in Alaska begins with a custom pick-up at your hotel. We share a bit of the history of Anchorage and begin your tour.

The Ulu Factory

Historic Downtown is a must see followed by a short drive to the Alaska Railroad station Anchorage Depot where we will stop at the Ulu Factory and Ship Creek salmon stream.

Beluga Point

Beluga point is just south of Anchorage on the Turnagain Arm. This destination features incredible Alaskan vistas and wildlife viewing. Dahl Sheep are often visible on the rocky crags of the Chugach mountains and when migrating, Beluga Whales can be seen plying through the fjord.

Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center

After Beluga Point, we stop at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. This is your guaranteed opportunity to see bears, elk, moose and many other Alaskan animals. Your guide will share information on all the amazing animals at the Center. We have a few favorites to share!

Byron Glacier Trail

Our final destination is the Glacier River Walk to Byron Glacier. This easy 20-25 minute walk allows you the opportunity to walk along the river water produced from the hanging Bryon Glacier and eventually walk up to view the glacier itself.

Girdwood

After experiencing multiple unique experiences of glacier viewing, walk along the river and the Wildlife Conservation Center, we stop for an optional lunch, at our favorite locally owned spot in Girdwood, Base Camp. The food is delicious and well priced ( Have we mentioned the seafood chowder!)

Turnagain Arm Drive

Turnagain Arm is considered one of the most scenic drives in the United States, Besides all the great places to experience- just the views and the drive itself are spectacular.

It was a beautiful day to hike to the glacier, watch salmon spawning, catch a glimpse of a black bear high on a ridge, and learn about bush planes and float planes.

We LOVED this tour! James was knowledgeable, professional, and hilarious. We laughed the entire day! We had 3 generations on the tour - ranging from 13 to 73 and everyone loved it. We learned so much about Alaska and saw more in one day than multiple tours combined. I gave the tour 5 stars because the app wouldn’t let me give him 10! Great day!!
