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.

First of all I would like to say thank you to Matthew ,our driver,who made the trip unforgettable.He showed us hidden places,looked for wildlife while he was explaining all the times about history of the region,about glaciers and especialy the Turnagain arm. We made a lot of fotostops and it didn't matter that the time had run out.We were a small group of nine people in a comfortable minivan.I can highly recommend this tour.Ask for Matthew and enjoy it.
