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.

We had a blustery winter mix kind of day, but Matthew our guide still taught us so much it was definitely still worth it!

Great tour with Matthew. Learned a lot about Alaska and enjoyed the incredible scenery. The wildlife conservatory was also great to visit. Appreciated the option to add a stop or two to get some additional photos and also Matthew’s expert knowledge of where all the eagle nests were along the route! Highly recommend this tour!

We booked online from Australia and the whole process from booking to pickup at our hotel in the morning of our tour was seamless. Our amazing tour guide Matthew filled our day with information, fun and local knowledge. Our day included stops at the most unbelievably beautiful spots as well as seeing Dall Sheep up close on a mountainside, Bald Eagle nests and souring Eagles as we drove along and stopped for viewing. The Wildlife Conservation Centre was a remarkable place allowing us to get up close with bears, moose and lots of other species from Alaska, such a wonderful place full of rescued animals. A highlight was seeing the elusive Beluga Whales, as we came upon a large pod right on the coastline and stopped to watch, even though it would take our tour well over time. Matthews passion for not only all things Anchorage and Alaska, but also animals, made the day a once in a lifetime experience.
