A fully narrated tour by a local guide along Turnagain Arm offers stunning views of rugged mountains, glaciers, and Alaska flora and fauna (i.e., wildflowers, bald eagles, Dall sheep, beluga whales).

We will stop at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC), where visitors can get up-close viewings and pictures of Alaska's most iconic animals, including brown bears, moose, caribou, and muskox.

From there, the tour will continue down the scenic Portage Valley, where visitors can take in spectacular views of towering mountains, cascading waterfalls, the beautiful Portage Lake, and numerous glaciers, including the Explorer and Byron Glaciers.

On the return trip, visitors will enjoy a provided lunch in Girdwood, a quaint town surrounded by the northernmost temperate rainforest.

Overall, a tour of Turnagain Arm, the AWCC, and Portage Valley is a fantastic way to experience the natural beauty and wildlife of Alaska and to learn about the history and culture of this incredible state.

Cần Quan Tâm

I will show you the animals at the AWCC, pointing out where many like to hide. We will see caribou, moose, muskox, reindeer, black bears, brown bears, porcupines, and wood bison. We may get to see the lynx, the foxes, and the coyotes. Sometimes they are hiding where you can't find them.

Great way to see Alaska! With a small group of only 4 we were able to spend plenty of time at each stop. Tim was an excellent narrator and host with a wide range of knowledge. He took us places that we would probably not have seen on our own. A widlife preserve, glaciers, rainforest, salmon spawning and great views along the coast. We stopped for lunch at the brewery and had excellent food at the food truck. Great value for the experience. We also appreciated being picked up at our hotel
Beautiful scenery

Glaciers, wildlife, and fauna filled our day today here in Alaska…though rainy at times, we loved every aspect of seeing salmon spawning, stunning glaciers, native wildlife, and rainforest fauna and flora! Tim provided constant narration with humor and insight. We stopped in Girdwood for a smoked salmon crepes for lunch and my husband enjoyed the brewery and beer! Perfect first day in Alaska and highly recommend this tour!
