Glacier View & Wildlife Anchorage Adventure Tour

This all-inclusive, small-group tour (maximum ~11 guests) departs from Anchorage and weaves together some of Southcentral Alaska’s most striking natural features and wildlife experiences. You’ll begin with a brief orientation through Anchorage - visiting highlights like the ULU factory, Ship Creek, and Earthquake Park - before heading toward the wilds.

Along the scenic Turnagain Arm, the route pauses at Beluga Point for coastal vistas and potential marine sightings. Next, you’ll visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, where you’re virtually guaranteed to see bears, moose, wolves, elk, and other native species in a protected habitat. From there, the journey continues to Portage Valley, with views of hanging glaciers (including Byron Glacier) and glacier-fed rivers; when conditions allow, the tour includes a short, easy walk to get closer to the ice.

You’ll also pass Virgin Creek Falls and travel through the Chugach National Forest, with stops for photo-worthy panoramas and local commentary. The day usually includes a lunch stop in Girdwood before returning to Anchorage, filled with stories, scenic memories, and a satisfying immersion in Alaskan wilderness.
