Rejseplan
Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center er Southcentral Alaskas # 1 besøgsattraktion. Wildlife Conservation Center er et non-profit-reservat dedikeret til at bevare Alaskas dyreliv gennem bevaring, forskning, uddannelse og dyrepleje af høj kvalitet. Besøgende kan forvente at fordybe sig i regionens naturlige skønhed og have mulighed for at observere en bred vifte af indfødte dyreliv tæt på, herunder blandt andet bjørne, ulve, elge, ulve og ørne, i et rummeligt 200 hektar stort omhyggeligt designede levesteder som efterligner deres naturlige miljø. Det er en uforglemmelig oplevelse, der fremmer en dybere forståelse for Alaskas dyreliv.
Kort stop i Portage Valley, hvor du vil se adskillige hængende gletsjere, som engang strakte sig over hele den 14 mil lange dal. Portage-gletsjeren er trukket sig tilbage cirka 2 1/2 miles og har efterladt en død sø! 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. Næste vil være en gåtur gennem regnskoven, bagefter nyd din tur tilbage til Chugach State Park og beundre den fantastiske udsigt over Turnagain Arm.
På Beluga Point kan besøgende nyde en betagende udsigt over Turnagan Arm med dens fejende kystlandskab og forrevne klipper, ofte om foråret og sommeren kan du se glimt af hvidhvaler svømme i vandet. Turnagan Arm i sig selv tilbyder mulige muligheder for at se dyreliv, herunder hvidhvaler, dall-får, skaldede ørne og nogle gange bjørne, samt naturskønne udsigter over Chugach-bjergene og det unikke fænomen med boring tidevand.
Naturskøn køretur til Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center til og tilbage til Anchorage er 2 timer og 30 minutter. Total tur-retur.

A GREAT tour of Anchorage and the wildlife conservation. Kris was the BEST guide. We travelled with our young child and it was enjoyable for all.
Great views and the wildlife center was awesome!
It was fun and informative for Alaskan history. The wildlife center was probably our favorite, but the glacier was nice also.
The tour is amazing, but if the tour is full, it is very tight inside the van. I was seated in the very back with 4 thin adults and we didn't fully fit. Other than that, the tour is amazing the guide is incredible! He had great knowledge and was super entertaining.
Amazing experience with beautiful vistas! If you want to get close to nature in a safe manner, I highly recommend the wildlife conservation center. Our tour guide Kim was very knowledgeable and accommodating to everyone in our tour. I also enjoyed the bonus stop to Whittier. Highly recommend this experience!
If you don’t have a car to visit around, it’s a way to visit the conservation center but not a lot of glacier to see. The conservation center is nice.
There are plenty of glaciers to see, currently some of the are still some snow on the, Unfortunately the day you were there not all the snow has melted, Sadly we dont controll the weather and snow melt., but enjoy your trip to Alaska.
It was a great experience. Would like to give special thank you to Dan from the pick up shuttle, he was wonderful!
This tour was disappointing, We were crammed into the back row of a van. There were numerous stops and it was difficult to get in and out. We are not large people - children would be ok in the back row, but that's it. Our guide shared too much information about himself and his family and not enough about what we were seeing. He shared some depressing stories about friends of his being killed by bears and a family who got attacked (let the good times roll). At the Center he dropped us off and said to meet back at the gift shop - no information about the animals from him or anyone else. We saw bears playing in water which was fun. The rest of the animals were in dirt enclosures and listless (it was a warm day). The Portage Valley Glacier area was beautiful but you can visit that on your own - as you can the Conservation Center. Skip this tour or make sure you get one of the guides mentioned by name in the positive reviews.
We thank you for your review and we'll look into and discuss it with the driver. We try to give great tours but please understand that we visit the Wildlife Center to see these beautiful Alaskan Animals and cannot control their dirt enclosures. In addition, as far as the seats in the shuttle I agree that sometimes it can be a little tight when were completly booked. Also, you can rent a vehicle and do anything in Alaska but you booked the tour with us maybe next time a self tour will work best for your family.
This was a great way to see the surrounding Anchorage area. Tim did a great job narrating our tour and was totally flexible in our itinerary. We stopped to see moose by the side of the road, enjoyed a leisurely visit at the Wildlife Sanctuary where he drove us to key exhibits and ensured we saw the highlights. Lovely walk in Portage with awesome glacier views finishing up with a delicious lunch in Girdwood. Hit Beluga point on the way back due to crowds and fog in the morning- and then we got to see dall sheep on the mountain. Wonderful way to spend our last day in Anchorage- the city is much nicer out of downtown.
Our guide Kris made our excursion. We stopped at a couple extra stops on our way to the Portage Glacier. Amazing photo stops. We also had a great group of 12 total. Great 4 1/2 hours in Anchorage
