I booked this tour online on Monday. I turned up at 12.30. I was supposed to go on the 1 pm tour. I waited and waited, checked my email in case they had let me know that they were not running it. At 5 after 1 I called them from the visitor centre. The man told me that they had sent me several emails and the people I had booked the tour through had also tried to contact me. I told him that I had not received any emails. He said that they had had problem sending emails to other Australian’s as well. I told him that that was not possible because I had a gmail account that was USA based. He still said their was a problem. As I was waiting outside an email came trough from the booking people to say that the tour had been canceled. I then arranged a tour with someone who was waiting their. And guess what, when we got to the wildlife refuge I was supposed to have gone to with these unconsciousable people, there was their coach there. So they had also lied about not having enough people for that afternoon.

As you stated in your email your Travel Agent did cancel. The tour company has six vehicles. Your tour was canceled which was one of the six vehicles that had already gone out on other tours. Please as we stated that day except our apologies for unforeseeable saturations that occur.

I booked this tour via Groupon. The information on the meeting location was different than what was sent to me afterwards as my confirmation so I contacted them to clarify. The meeting location was supposed to be the Visitor's center and NOT the Sheraton. You're asked to arrive 20 minutes early but some people didn't so we left a little later and had to stop by the Sheraton to pick up those that had been confused by the different locations. This late departure / extra stop felt like it had repercussions for the entire tour (other than the Portage Glacier boat tour) it felt very rushed. The first stop is either the glacier tour or the Wildlife Conservation Center. It appears to vary & I'm guessing it's because of the boat departures for the glacier tour. We went to the conservation center first. On the way, we quickly stopped (about 1/2 hour) at the Potter Marsh just outside of town. There were 2 more people added to the tour at that location & it sounded like their flight had arrived late. It's good to know that the tour company is flexible if issues happened with travel arrangements but it felt like another slight delay added for the day. At the March you get to see some salmon swimming & general marsh wildlife (geese & other birds). I believe at some point you would normally stop at an art gallery on the way but since we were short on time we didn't do that. I was ok with not stopping but others might have felt they missed something. The Wildlife Conservation Center is mostly a drive through place from what I was able to see. Your drive past some large fenced in fields with animals & pull over for a closer look, then can stop at a central visitors center. We didn't stop at the visitors center or gift shop due to time constraints. It kept feeling rushed because we were told we "only had xx minutes and had to go to.." and the stops within the conservation center. It was still worth it to see the different local wildlife and know it's a non-profit to help injured or abandoned animals. After the Wildlife Conversation Center we quickly stopped at the restaurant near the Portage Glacier (we had 9 minutes to get something to eat) and then it was back on the shuttle & off to the glacier. The driver dropped the group off at the glacier tour company. There is only one that operates on the lake & has a specially made boat for the lake/area. Portage Glacier is definitely worth seeing - especially since it's so close to Anchorage. It's amazing to know that it's receded so much in the last few decades too. The tour is really more of a shuttle taking you to the two different places with some local information on the way. Since I didn't have a car, this was the only way I was going to see these places so it was worth it. If you have a car you can easily drive to these attractions on your own.
