Private malerische Turnagain Arm Gletschertour von Anchorage
Beschreibung
Erleben Sie Alaska auf Ihrer ganz privaten und individuell anpassbaren Tour. Genießen Sie die Freiheit, Ihr eigenes Tempo festzulegen, Fotostopps anzufordern und den Tag Ihren Interessen anzupassen. Als Ihr lokaler Guide und Fotograf halte ich die Highlights fest – malerische Ansichten, Tierbegegnungen und offene Gruppenmomente – und schicke Ihnen dann eine kuratierte Galerie bearbeiteter Fotos. Wenn sich Menschen Alaska vorstellen, stellen sie sich wilde Tiere, hoch aufragende Berge und endlose Gletscher vor. Turnagain Arm bietet all das – nur eine kurze, malerische Fahrt von Anchorage entfernt. Dieser atemberaubende Einlass ist berühmt für seine massiven Gezeiten, schroffen Bergkulissen und die seltene Gezeitenwelle, bei der eine einzelne Welle über den gesamten Einlass fegt. Wir fahren auf dem Seward Highway, einer der schönsten Fahrten Nordamerikas. Die Straße schmiegt sich an die Küste und bietet endlose Aussichten und Möglichkeiten, Elche, Glatzadler, Dallschafe und potenziell Belugawale zu beobachten. Mit dem Individualverkehr und einer flexiblen Reiseroute geht es darum, das Beste daraus zu machen.

Reiseverlauf
Beluga Point ist eine der ersten malerischen Stationen entlang des Turnagain Arms, nur 20 Minuten südlich von Anchorage. Sie thront über den dramatischen Gezeitenebenen und bietet einen Panoramablick auf die umliegenden Berge und die Möglichkeit, Dallschafe auf den Klippen und zu bestimmten Jahreszeiten Belugawale zu beobachten, die durch den Einlass Schwärmen von Hooliganfischen folgen. Es ist eine perfekte Einführung in die wilde Schönheit von Southcentral Alaska und ein beliebter Fotostopp für Gäste.
Girdwood ist eine charmante Bergstadt in einem üppigen Tal, umgeben von den Chugach Mountains, etwa 40 Minuten südlich von Anchorage entlang des Turnagain Arms. Bekannt für seine lebendige Kunstszene, die alpine Landschaft und als Heimat des Alyeska Resorts ist es ein perfekter Ort, um die Beine auszustrecken, einen Kaffee zu trinken oder eine Mahlzeit zu genießen. Girdwood bietet eine ruhige, kleinstädtische Atmosphäre mit großem Alaska-Charakter.
Das Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC) ist ein gemeinnütziges Schutzgebiet im Portage Valley, etwa 47 Meilen südlich von Anchorage am malerischen Seward Highway. Eingebettet zwischen den Chugach Mountains und dem Turnagain Arm erstreckt sich das Zentrum über 200 Hektar natürlichen Lebensraums, der der Pflege und Erhaltung der einheimischen Tierwelt Alaskas gewidmet ist. Besucher können eine Vielzahl von Tieren beobachten, darunter Braun- und Schwarzbären, Elche, Holzbisons, Moschuskoxen, Wölfe, Luchse, Karibus und Glatzadler. Viele dieser Tiere sind Rettungskräfte – verletzt oder verwaist – und dienen nun als Botschafter für ihre Spezies. Das Zentrum bietet eine 1,5-Meilen-Schleife, die zu Fuß, mit dem Fahrrad oder mit dem Auto erreichbar ist und die Gelegenheit bietet, Tiere in geräumigen, naturalistischen Gehegen zu sehen. Als wichtiger Halt auf der Turnagain Arm Tour kombiniert AWCC Wildtierbeobachtung mit atemberaubender Landschaft und macht es zu einem unvergesslichen Highlight jedes Alaska-Abenteuers.
Das Portage Valley, das sich im Chugach National Forest befindet, ist ein Gletscherkorridor, der reich an natürlicher Schönheit ist und einer der zugänglichsten Orte für Gletscherbeobachtungen in Südzentralalaska ist. Nur eine kurze Fahrt vom Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center entfernt, ist dieses atemberaubende Tal von hohen Gipfeln und mehreren hängenden Gletschern umgeben, darunter Explorer-, Middle- und Byron-Gletscher. Das Begich, Boggs Visitor Center bietet interaktive Exponate über die Glaziologie und lokale Ökosysteme, während nahe gelegene Wanderwege wie der Byron Glacier Trail eine einfache Wanderung zu Aussichten auf das Gletschereis aus nächster Nähe ermöglichen. Es ist ein Muss für diejenigen, die in Alaskas wilde, vereiste Landschaften eintauchen möchten.

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!
