Itinerary
Next, soak up the sights along the incomparable Turnagain Arm, a stunningly beautiful piece of Alaska home to a myriad of wildlife, including Dall sheep, mountain goats, moose, beluga whales, black bears and migratory bird species.
Beluga Point Site is an archaeological location along Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 30, 1978. Artifacts of the area are evidence of early human habitation. Beluga Point North 1 (BPN1) artifacts are 8,000–10,000 years old and believed to be evidence of the oldest habitation in Anchorage municipality. Beluga Point is also a wildlife viewing area. Beluga whales can be sighted seasonally July through August as hundreds of the cetaceans visit Cook Inlet to feed on the Pacific salmon run.
Ride the Alyeska Aerial Tram
The AWCC takes in injured and orphaned animals year-round, providing spacious enclosures and quality animal care. Here you can view and photograph up close Alaska's iconic animals that are unable to be released into the wild.

The quality of this experience was totally unexpected. Our tour guide Bill was full of knowledge and enthusiasm for the Anchorage area. From history to trivia, sharing photos and anecdotes, favorite spots, highlights and recommendations. While the weather was challenging, we enjoyed our selves fully.
Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re thrilled the experience exceeded expectations, even with Alaska throwing some exciting weather your way 😊 Bill will be especially happy to hear your kind words, he truly loves sharing his knowledge, stories, and favorite local spots. We’re glad his enthusiasm helped make the day enjoyable from history to trivia and everything in between. Thanks again for joining us, and we’d love to have you back for another adventure in better (or equally memorable!) conditions.
Great way to see South of Anchorage. Includes the Wildlife Refuge and the tram to the ski runs. Absolutely great views. Steve treated us like royalty.
Thank you for your review of our Turnagain Arm Tour! We're happy you enjoyed the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center - it's such a fun place to view Alaska's iconic animals. Thanks again and we hope to adventure with you in the future!
