Beskrivelse
Oplev Alaska's vilde side på denne uforglemmelige vinterrejse langs den naturskønne Turnagain Arm, hvor store bjerge, frosne vandfald og snedækkede kyster skaber en betagende baggrund.

Vinterens klare luft og blødt lys skaber usædvanlige se- og fotograferingsmuligheder, hvilket gør denne tur perfekt til naturelskere og fotografer, der er ivrige efter at fange Alaska på sin mest dramatiske. Undervejs deler din guide lokale historier, vildtlevende fakta og skjulte synspunkter, der bringer Alaskan vinterlandskab til live.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
På Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center kan besøgende frit udforske over 140 acres af naturlige levesteder, der er hjemsted for bjørne, elge, rensdyr, los og andet naturligt dyreliv.
Pointen er en bestemt skal-stop-placering, da udsigten er spektakulær! Beluga Point, en klippefyldt forpost, der stikker ud i vandet i Turnagain Arm, ligger lige syd for Anchorage langs Seward Highway. Det er opkaldt efter de hvide hvaler, der ofte bliver set fra dette sted, når de går op og ned ad indløbet. Beluga'er ses ofte mellem juli og august.
Alaskas Turnagain Arm på Seward Highway er blandt dem, der er kåret som et af landets mest uforglemmelige områder i Alaska. MANGE HAR SAGT, AT HVIS DU SAVNER AT BESØGE SEVÆRDIGHEDER LANGS TURNAGAIN-ARMEN- - HAR DU SAVNET ALASKA!
Portage Valley er en 14 mil lang landtange, der forbinder Kenai-halvøen med fastlandet Alaska. Portage Glacier udvidede engang hele dalens længde. De glaciale rester, der ses i dag, er Explorer, Middle, Byron, Burns og Shakespeare gletschere. Selvom de stadig er massive i størrelse, står disse gletsjere som mindre påmindelser om de enorme iskapper, der engang dækkede dette landskab.

Gary was our guide and he really knows his stuff! The wildlife conservation center was interesting and I’m glad I got to see bears and moose. Plus Gary gave us some restaurant recs and we went to one last night. It was very good. We had walked by it several times and wouldn’t have tried it if Gary hadn’t said it was good
The tour is full of scenic landscape, mountains, rivers and lakes. We made several stops, two of my favorites were the Wildlife Conservation center and Explorer Glacier and Lake. The animals at the conservation center were viewable in a natural habitat like setting.
It was great to have guaranteed animal sightings. And additionally a safe way for a whole family to view animals.
Had a great experience at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation center tour with Rezy. Rezy was very knowledgeable and accommodating and a wonderful guide for the afternoon! Rezy also pointed out some interesting and beautiful areas that were a bonus for our tour!
Had a great tour with Melissa. She provided a lot of interesting commentary about Alaska history, nature, and culture. We especially enjoyed learning about her Alaskan heritage and subsistence foraging, fishing, and hunting. The scenery en route to the wildlife conservation center was breathtaking, and the weather was perfect to catch many of the animals out in the sun at the conservation center. Loved, loved, loved watching the bears play in the snow. It was a huge treat to get a close up view of the bears, the moose, musk ox, and the Canadian lynx. Visitors should be aware that there are some things you can’t see in winter (mainly, the beluga whales), but the trade-off is getting to see mountains covered in snow.
It was in March and part of my trip experience going to the Iditarod. The pluses were the tour guide gave us a few unscheduled stops (Wild Berry Farm 👍) and had time to drop us off at our hotel. That was very much appreciated. We saw a Dall sheep on the mountain and he stopped and turned around so we could get out of the van for photos. Loved that! You definitely need to be agile and a good walker to see the Wildlife Conservation area in freezing icy, snowy weather. Luckily at 76 years old I could do it. I think the best time to see all the animals (bears, etc which we didn’t) would be in warmer weather. We saw wolves, musk ox, reindeer and moose.
Terrible communication but the tour itself was fine. There was no information provided by the tour company prior to the tour. I tried to contact them on viator and on the phone to understand the finishing time, but received no response at all. This was frustrating and I had to reach out to Viator to check if the tour provider was still active on the site. The tour itself was great. Our guide, Melissa, was amazing and shared a wealth of information with us about the state, the way of life of the local people, about wildlife. The wildlife conservation centre was really cool, and the views to and from there were absolutely stunning.
We’re so sorry you had this problem and truly apologize for the frustration you experienced with communication prior to your tour. We do provide all the necessary information in our tour description as well as in the confirmation sent after purchase. With the high volume of messages we receive each day (often over a hundred), messages sent through Viator can occasionally get lost or filtered into spam. While that’s never our intention, we completely understand how frustrating that must have been. For the quickest response, it’s always best to contact us directly via our email or by calling us, as we monitor those channels closely throughout the day. You can also call Viator and have them contact us directly on your behalf, which is another very effective way to reach us quickly. That said, we’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour itself! Melissa will be thrilled to know her knowledge and passion made such a positive impact. We’re also glad you loved the wildlife conservation centre and the stunning views along the way. Thank you for your honest feedback — it truly helps us improve.
A beautiful day and drive to explore the beauty outside of Anchorage. Finally got to see some of the Alaskan Wildlife up close. Melissa was a great and knowledgeable guide. Very much enjoyed her sharing her local knowledge
We had really good experience. Melizsa is amazing!!! She is really friendly and kind. Definitely coming back in summer season and highly recommended!!!
Gary was an amazing guide and truly loved Alaska. He talked about many things along the way and would love to have him as a guide again. It was one of the best tours we have had here in Alaska.
