Private Mat-Su Valley & Hatcher Pass Wildlife Tour

This private day trip departs from Anchorage in a comfortable vehicle with a local guide and carries you through the agricultural expanses of the Mat-Su Valley toward the rugged peaks of Hatcher Pass. The journey includes stops along the Glenn Highway, a visit to a Reindeer Farm (feeding and interacting with reindeer, moose, and other animals), and scenic drives into mountain terrain.

In Hatcher Pass, you’ll enjoy alpine vistas, tundra meadows, and perhaps a guided nature walk along the Little Susitna River or near Summit Lake depending on conditions. Along the way, look for moose, eagles, foxes, or Dall sheep in high ridgelines. The itinerary also includes a stop in Palmer (a quaint local town) and a forested walk through Eagle River / Chugach borderlands before returning to Anchorage. The tour is tailored for your pace, with flexibility to linger in wildlife zones, take photos, and absorb the quiet of the landscape.
