ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. We loved Brittany so much on our first tour to the Musk Ox Farm that we went back to our hotel and booked another tour to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center later that same week. SUPER friendly, SUPER knowledgable and SUPER passionate about Alaska - everything you would hope for in a guide and more :)

This tour was fantastic! We were able to see a baby musk ox, he was so cute! The stories about the different musk ox on the farm were great too. I learned so much, I highly recommend.

You definitely have to plan another trip next time you're in Alaska, they've added three MORE babies to the farm this year! Thank you so much for supporting our small business!
