Private Scenic Turnagain Arm Gletscher Tour fra Anchorage
Beskrivelse
Oplev Alaska på din måde på denne helt private og tilpasselige tur. Nyd friheden til at indstille dit eget tempo, anmode om fotostop og personliggøre dagen efter dine interesser. Som din lokale guide og fotograf, vil jeg fange højdepunkterne - naturskønne udsigter, vildtmøder og oprigtige gruppe øjeblikke - og derefter sende dig et kurateret galleri med redigerede billeder. Når folk forestiller sig Alaska, forestiller de sig vilde dyr, høje bjerge og endeløse gletsjere. Turnagain Arm tilbyder alt det – kun en kort, naturskøn køretur fra Anchorage. Denne betagende indgang er berømt for sine massive tidevande, hårde bjergbaggrunde og den sjældne bore tidevand, hvor en enkelt bølge svejser over hele indgangen. Vi rejser Seward Highway, en af Nordamerikas mest naturskønne ture. Vejen omfavner kystlinjen og tilbyder endeløse udsigter og muligheder for at spotte ørn, skallede ørn, Dall får og potentielt belugahvaler. Med privat transport og en fleksibel ruteplan handler det om at få mest muligt ud af det.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Beluga Point er en af de første naturskønne stop langs Turnagain Arm, kun 20 minutter syd for Anchorage. Beliggende over de dramatiske tidevandsflader, det tilbyder panoramaudsigt over de omkringliggende bjerge og chancen for at spotte Dall får på klipperne og, i visse tider af året, beluga hvaler følger skoler af huligan fisk gennem indgangen. Det er en perfekt introduktion til den vilde skønhed af Southcentral Alaska og et yndet foto stop for gæster.
Girdwood er en charmerende bjergby beliggende i en frodig dal omgivet af Chugach Mountains, omkring 40 minutter syd for Anchorage langs Turnagain Arm. Kendt for sin pulserende kunst scene, alpine landskaber, og som hjemsted for Alyeska Resort, er det et perfekt sted at strække benene, tage en kop kaffe eller nyde et måltid. Med storslåede granstræer, kaskaderende bugter og hyggelige lokale virksomheder tilbyder Girdwood en fredelig, lille byatmosfære med stor alaskansk karakter.
Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC) er et non-profit fristed beliggende i Portage Valley, cirka 47 miles syd for Anchorage langs den naturskønne Seward Highway. Beliggende mellem Chugach Mountains og Turnagain Arm, centret spænder over 200 acres naturlige habitat dedikeret til pleje og bevaring af Alaskan indfødte dyreliv. Besøgende kan observere en bred vifte af dyr, herunder brune og sorte bjørne, ørn, træ bison, muskoxen, ulve, lynx, caribou og bald eagle. Mange af disse dyr er redningsmænd - sårede eller forældreløse - og tjener nu som ambassadører for deres art . Centret tilbyder en 1,5 km løkke tilgængelig til fods, cykel eller bil, hvilket giver mulighed for at se dyr i rummelige, naturistiske indkvarteringer. Som et vigtigt stop på Turnagain Arm-turnéen kombinerer AWCC vildtbevidsthed med betagende landskaber, hvilket gør det til et mindeværdigt højdepunkt for ethvert Alaskan-eventyr.
Portage Valley, der ligger inden for Chugach National Forest, er en gletsjerskæret korridor rig på naturskønhed og en af de mest tilgængelige steder i det sydlige Alaska for at se gletsjere. Kun en kort køretur fra Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, er denne fantastiske dal omgivet af ophøjede toppe og flere hængende gletsjere, herunder Explorer, Middle og Byron gletsjere. Begich, Boggs Besøgende Center tilbyder interaktive udstillinger om glaciologi og lokale økosystemer, mens nærliggende stier som Byron Glacier Trail giver en nem vandretur til udsigt over gletsjeren i nærheden. Det er et must-see stop for dem, der ønsker at fordybe sig i Alaskas vilde, isfyldte landskaber.

We hired Blueberry Tours to pick us up at the port in Whittier the morning after our cruise, show us around the area, and take us to the Anchorage airport in time for our 8:30pm flight. Since it was a private tour, we were able to customize the itinerary in anyway we wished, stopping whenever and wherever we wanted to. The driver, Shane, is an Alaskan native, born and raised in Anchorage, so he was extremely knowledgeable about EVERYTHING. He showed us many interesting sights, made several stops, and recommended a great place for us to have lunch (while he ate his lunch in the car). We even saw a moose and her calf up-close in the wild! He drives a very clean, comfortable mini van stocked with water and snacks—which was much better than riding in a tour bus with other passengers, IMO! Highly recommend!
Wow! What can I say? Blueberry Tours was exactly what we needed for exploring the breathtaking area around Anchorage. Shane was amazing, sharing so much of the natural beauty that surrounds the Turnagain Arm south of Anchorage. From the moment he picked us up in a stylish minivan, everything felt easy and thoughtfully planned. He provided water, snacks, and field glasses for us to use along the way. We visited so many beautiful places and took in wildlife, waterfalls, glaciers, animals, and incredible flora. Around every bend there seemed to be another jaw-dropping view: mountains rising around us, water sparkling beside the road, and Alaska showing off in the most unforgettable ways. I was traveling with my aging parents, and Shane was so gentle, patient, and accommodating with them. He was willing to adapt the tour as needed, while still having a wonderful lineup of stops ready for us. We especially loved hearing his perspective as an Alaskan local. If you are looking for the perfect way to spend a day in the Anchorage area, be sure to book with Blueberry Tours. You won’t regret it!
This was honestly the best thing we could’ve done to experience Alaska from a native. We got to see beautiful views, have a beer and some curry, and walk a trail straight out of a winter wonderland. I absolutely recommend this tour to anyone wanting a genuinely amazing tour.
Perfect Day! I’m so glad I found Shane and Blueberry Tours, every part of our day was amazing. There were 11 of us, grandparents, daughters and son-in-laws, 5 grandkids, ages 10-66. We started out as the 6 hours tour, but we added more stops and sites as we went, ended up 9 hours. That might seem long, but it wasn’t, we could have kept going, so much to see! Shane is so helpful, experienced, friendly, highly, highly recommend doing this. From the start, it was so easy booking, communication throughout was perfect. He customized everything for us. The van was comfortable, clean, he even had snacks and water. Throughout the day and all the stops he explained the area and history which made it so special. Very organized, he had a spotting scope so we could see Dahl sheep, he had extra binoculars, then on top of that, he took family photos throughout. Our day couldn’t have been better, the weather was perfect a clear sunny day! From Potters Marsh, Beluga Point, Alaskan Wildlife Center, Portage Glacier Cruise, Virgin River Falls, Flat Top Mountain, amazing, amazing, AMAZING!!! I wouldn’t have changed anything, our day, the experience, the sites, perfect! The price, so affordable, Blueberry Tours offers a flat rate, we chose to add on the extra hours too. Very organized, very experienced, very helpful. Thank you Shane for this absolutely perfect tour!
My husband and I had a great time on the 6 hour private tour being driven around in a minivan by Shane to tour the Turnagain Arm area. We stopped at Potter Marsh, Beluga Point, Girdwood, Alyeska Resort, and the Wildlife Conservation Center, along with several other stops. It was the perfect combination of riding and getting out and walking to see and photograph the wildlife and scenery. Shane also takes great photos with his own personal camera and sent them to us immediately after we completed our tour. He also had water and snacks for us. He is very accommodating to make sure we went to the places of most interest to us. He has great knowledge of the area. It was a very pleasant, laid back and informative tour of the area.
Shane took our family of four and our niece who lives in Anchorage, along the Palmer Hwy to Matanuska Glacier. The opportunity to hike around this phenomenon was just dreamy. Shane was so sweet because the 1st few miles, we were catching up with our niece …we were quite loud, so he is quite the gentleman. We loved hearing about his life. Shane is an exceptional driver…too careful for us mad max Houstonians ! He stopped for several times for photos with mountain vistas. You can’t go wrong with this personalized tour operator. He is very accommodating. We are booked for another trip tomorrow!
This could not have been a better tour for us. The guide was great and we saw a tremendous amount. A must do
My family and I had a great time on this tour. Shane is an absolutely wonderful tour guide and we would highly recommend him. This tour included seeing Girdwood, the Conservation Center and a short hike to a frozen waterfall. Our favorite part was the hike as it was a little adventurous. Shane took many photos of us on the tour which helped capture the memories.
This tour was amazing, and honestly the best way to explore. Shane is such a great guide, he is personable and knowledgeable and fun to be around, He was able to give great suggestions for ways to tailor our itinerary to our interests and ways to accommodate my mother’s mobility issues, which allowed for such an enjoyable experience! We felt so taken care of, and really enjoyed how the private tour allowed us to spend the time our way- and that the views and ability to stop at any time gave us ability to get so many great 0ics! Shane would also take pics of us and the scenery and his photos are amazing which really helped us be able to stay in the moment and enjoy! We had such an enjoyable time that we booked an additional day and did the Hatcher pass tour which was also amazing with stunning views and if you have time I would also strongly recommend!
This was one of the most enjoyable tours I have taken! Shane was a wonderful guide who was so knowledgeable about the area. Shane was able to customize the excursion to suit my mother who uses a walker and we felt so spoiled and taken care of the ENTIRE TIME! This was so much better than previous experiences on big group tours because we could take our time and adjust stops, and felt luxurious and more personal. We enjoyed it so much we even booked a different tour to Hatcher pass for an additional day and that also exceeded our expectations. His photography skills really allowed us to be in the moment and have the ideal photos to take home as well!
