What To Expect

Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center

At the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center visitors are free to explore over 140 acres of natural habitat home to bears, moose, reindeer, lynx and other native wildlife.

Beluga Point

The point is a definite must stop location as the views are spectacular! Beluga Point, a rocky outpost jutting into the waters of Turnagain Arm, is just south of Anchorage along the Seward Highway. It’s named for the white whales that are often spotted from this location as they make their way up and down the inlet. Beluga's are often seen between July and August.

Seward Highway

Alaska's Turnagain Arm on the Seward Highway is among those voted as one of the country's most unforgettable, must see areas of Alaska. MANY HAVE SAID THAT IF YOU MISS VISITING SIGHTS ALONG THE TURNAGAIN ARM- - YOU HAVE MISSED ALASKA!

Portage Glacier

Portage Valley is a 14 mile isthmus that connects the Kenai Peninsula to mainland Alaska. Portage Glacier once extended the entire length of the valley. The glacial remnants seen today are Explorer, Middle, Byron, Burns, and Shakespeare glaciers. While still massive in size, these glaciers stand as smaller reminders of the immense ice sheets that once covered this landscape.

Ben went above and beyond on our winter tour. There were only four of us and it was very cold and snowing and it didn't stop us from having a great time. He made alot of extra stops anytime we saw some wildlife and he was an excellent driver. He was professional and provided us with alot of interesting information about the area and it's history. I highly recommend this tour during your winter trip.

My husband and I arrived in Anchorage with one day in town and no planned activities. We found this tour by quickly surfing, and called to try to book a last-minute trip. Ben replied promptly and worked with us to accommodate a last minute tour, making the timing and price work even thought it was just for two, and so last minute. When we arrived for the tour itself, Ben was on time, very friendly and accommodating, and made the effort to personalize the trip. We saw incredible things due to both his local knowledge and willingness to stop on a dime to catch an incredible sight. I would recommend this tour to anyone traveling in Anchorage, and would be happy to do it again in the future.
