Turnagain Arm og Portage Valley Private Tour
Beskrivelse
Udforsk den smukke Turnagain Arm og Portage Valley med en privat og lokal guide. Fra Anchorage rejser vi langs den naturskønne Seward Highway. En af kun 13 motorveje i USA med udmærkelsen "All American Road". Undervejs vil vi have gode muligheder for at se og fotografere dyreliv og naturskønne udsigter. Først stopper vi ved det smukke Hotel Alyeska og skibyen Girdwood. Tag en valgfri naturskøn sporvogn til toppen af Mt Alyeska til frokost med udsigt. Næste stop Portage, hvor du går ombord på mv Ptarmigan for en valgfri en-times krydstogt på tværs af det fantastiske landskab af isbjerg-prikkede Portage Lake. Efter krydstogtet skal du stoppe ved Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, en nonprofitorganisation dedikeret til at bevare Alaskas dyreliv. Bagefter kan du gå tilbage til Anchorage og nyde en fortalt byrundtur inklusive alle de bedste spisesteder.

Rejseplan
Portage-gletsjeren
Seward
Nyd derefter seværdighederne langs den uforlignelige Turnagain Arm, et fantastisk smukt stykke Alaska, der er hjemsted for et utal af dyreliv, herunder Dall-får, bjerggeder, boose, hvidhvaler, sorte bjørne og trækfuglearter.
Girdwood er en ferieby i den sydlige udstrækning af Anchorage kommune. Beliggende nær enden af Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet, ligger Girdwood i en dal i de sydvestlige Chugach-bjerge, omgivet af syv gletsjere, der strømmer ind i en række åer, som enten konvergerer i dalen eller tømmer sig direkte ind i armen.
Alyeska Aerial Tram
Potter Marsh, i den sydlige ende af Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge, er en ideel pause fra Anchorage for fuglekiggere og andre dyrelivsbeskuere. Fra Seward Highway lige før venstresvinget ind på Potter Marsh parkeringspladsen, bliver du forkælet med en fantastisk udsigt over Turnagain Arm. En træpromenade snor sig 1.550 fod fra parkeringsområdet gennem marsken og hen over vandfyldte åbninger og kværne, perfekt levested for et rigt udvalg af fugle. Fra slutningen af april til september bruger canadiske gæs, nordlige haler, canvasback ænder, rødhalsede phalaropes, horn- og rødhalsede lappedykkere og nordlige harrier dette vådområde. Se efter ørnereder i bomuldsskovene nær bunden af skrænten ved hjælp af en kikkert eller et kikkert.

Beluga Point Site er et arkæologisk sted langs Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet. Det blev føjet til det nationale register over historiske steder den 30. marts 1978. Artefakter fra området er bevis på tidlig menneskelig beboelse. Beluga Point North 1 (BPN1) artefakter er 8.000-10.000 år gamle og menes at være bevis på den ældste beboelse i Anchorage kommune. Beluga Point er også et dyrelivsområde. Hvidhvaler kan ses sæsonmæssigt fra juli til august, da hundredvis af hvaler besøger Cook Inlet for at spise på Stillehavslaksene.
AWCC tager imod tilskadekomne og forældreløse dyr året rundt, hvilket giver rummelige indhegninger og dyrepleje af høj kvalitet. Her kan du se og fotografere Alaskas ikoniske dyr på tæt hold, der ikke er i stand til at blive sluppet ud i naturen.

Other than a hiccup with the dining at the top of the tram not being available, we had a great day on Turnagain Arm. Dawn was a wonderful guide--offered good information along the way but also was sensitive to our need for "quiet time" as we were tired from two weeks of traveling in Alaska. Good balance overall, and a gorgeous day to see Portage Glacier!
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a nice note! We will make sure to pass this along to Dawn as well!
Eight hours in Anchorage? It’s a “must do”….with Mike!!? The man was the perfect guide for this trip.
Thank you for the nod to our guide Mike. He is a top guide in our group of Alaskans who serve as our knowledgeable and very fun tour leaders. Our staff is clever and accommodating for our Anchorage Tour and our Turnagain Arm Tour, as well as all the other tours we provide to visitors.
We had an incredible day on this tour with our guide John. He was very knowledgeable friendly and provided great insight. He also had a lot of good suggestions for additional experiences while we’re in Alaska that we hope to do on a future trip.
Hi there, Thank you for your wonderful review! We are glad you enjoyed your Anchorage City Tour with John. Next time you are in Alaska give us a ring, we have so many incredible things to show you across the state! Cheers,
Did the Turnagain Arm Tour and had a blast with our guide, John! We was both engaging and informative. Loved the first hand knowledge he shared with us. We lucked out with a GORGEOUS day and got some awesome pictures! Only downside was trying to get lunch at the top of the tram at Alyeska, but that was on us for choosing to go that way. Warning for others... it was over an hour wait for food and seating was a nightmare. John, however, was great and so patient while waiting for us. We ended up just switching the food to go and ate in the bus. Thank you John for our outstanding experience!!!!
We had to change our plans at the last minute. I called GLA at 9am and by 10:30am we were on our tour. John was terrific. The experience was professional and fun!
So glad you enjoyed your tour, and we were able to help you fill your day last minute!
I can't say enough about planning Alaskan excursions with Steve at Greatland Adventures. My husband and I visited Alaska for the first time August 6-15, 2019. We were looking for multiple excursions in both Anchorage and Seward and were interested in smaller group type of activities as I wanted to photograph and video the experiences which is hard to do with a lot of people. Steve worked with me to provide what he could through his company, but ALSO worked with other tour operators to plan the perfect trip. The Turnagain Arm tour was AMAZING! We had a wonderful driver Orion who took us to the Alyeska resort, the Wildlife Conservation Center, and a Portage Glacier Cruise. I was able to get some amazing images of the beautiful vistas and local wildlife. Orion also provided us with historical information about Alaska along the way. Steve helped me to find the right hotels prior to our trip. He worked with 4 other tour operators to get us on an ATV tour, a helicopter and dogsledding tour, a whale watching tour, and a zip lining tour. This company is terrific and our trip would not have been what it was without the help of Steve and his wonderful staff!! WE CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!
Thank you so very much for your kind words! We do our absolute best to provide first class customer service to all our guests, from inquiry, booking, tour operations, and on to the follow up! We are so glad Steve was able to accommodate you in all aspects of your Alaskan vacation, and Orion showed you a truly memorable time on the Turnagain Arm! Best Regards, Rochelle
Our family of eight including two children took this tour today. Steve was our guide and he was friendly and informative. We took the tram ride up Mt. Alyeska and then on to the Portage Lake and Glacier tour. We finished up with a visit to the Wildlife Conservation Center. A wonderful and memorable day. Thanks Steve!
I had a great time with your group! Thank you for sharing your experience with others.
Absolutely fantastic trip today to Turnagain Arm and Portage Valley. Our guide Vern was knowledgeable and friendly, with a story for every occasion. All aspects of our day from initial booking to return home were professional and hassle free. Our group of 8 all loved it and will recommend this company for years to come. Thanks Greatland Adventures - Aussie 8
Thank you Jenny S! Vern mentioned that he had a really great time with your group. We are glad that you enjoyed the tour and the personalized service that a private tour provides. We really hope you can come back and have some more fun with us in the future. Cheers.
