Itinerario
Visitaremos el Centro de Conservación de Vida Silvestre de Alaska. El AWCC se abrió al público en 1993. Está ubicado en 140 acres en el extremo sur de Turnagain Arm y la entrada a Portage Valley. La misión del centro es brindar atención y rehabilitación a la vida silvestre herida y huérfana y brindar educación y conciencia sobre la vida silvestre. Los animales que no pueden ser liberados o sobrevivir en la naturaleza se refugian en los espaciosos hábitats del centro. Aquí la gente puede acercarse, observar y fotografiar con seguridad algunos de los animales terrestres más grandes de Alaska, incluidos alces, bisontes, alces, ciervos, caribúes, osos bueyes almizcleros, pequeños mamíferos y aves de presa. Durante la primavera y el verano, los visitantes a menudo pueden presenciar la rehabilitación de crías de animales huérfanos de diversas especies.
Beluga Point es una zona que recibe su nombre de las ballenas beluga que se pueden ver desde la costa, especialmente durante los meses de verano (julio a agosto). Esta zona ofrece varias atracciones naturales que la convierten en una parada popular para los visitantes, como la vida silvestre y las impresionantes vistas de Turnagain Arm, un estrecho canal rodeado de montañas. El paisaje de fondo de las montañas y el océano crea oportunidades para tomar fotografías impresionantes y reflexionar en silencio. A veces también podemos ver un fenómeno llamado marea negra, en el que una pared de agua se precipita y revierte el flujo del río. La ola de marea negra se puede ver a lo largo de Turnagain Arm, y Beluga Point es uno de los lugares donde la gente se reúne para presenciar este fenómeno natural.
Turnagain Arm es una impresionante vía fluvial similar a un fiordo ubicada al sureste de Anchorage, Alaska, conocida por sus espectaculares mareas, impresionantes vistas de las montañas y abundante vida silvestre. Forma parte de Cook Inlet y presenta una de las mayores cordilleras de marea del mundo, lo que crea un maremoto único donde una ola se precipita hacia el interior durante la marea alta. Los visitantes suelen avistar ballenas beluga, muflones de Dall y varias especies de aves a lo largo de sus costas. La autopista Seward, que corre a lo largo de Turnagain Arm, ofrece uno de los recorridos más pintorescos de Alaska, con vistas de escarpadas montañas y vastas marismas. Su guía hará varias paradas en el camino para tomar fotografías e interpretar el paisaje.

It was a wonderful tour. We had a great time. Our tour guide Albert was amazing. Thanks for a great day!
Thank you so much for the kind words! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and showing you some of the incredible places that make Alaska so special. I really enjoyed our time together and the conversations along the way. Thank you for choosing Planet Earth Adventures and for allowing me to be part of your Alaska experience. I hope you left with some great memories—and perhaps a reason to come back and visit us again someday! Safe Travels!
Definitely a good tour to book. We got a full 2hours at the conservation park which you really need to walk the whole place without rushing. We were lucky that a group had cancelled so we had Albert as our "private" tour guide. Such a nice guy & so interesting to talk to. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanks Albert Sarah & Alison (Italy & UK)
Sarah and Alison, thank you for the wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you both. I’m glad you appreciated having a full two hours at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center—we intentionally allow plenty of time there so our guests can explore and enjoy the animals without feeling rushed. As it turned out, the cancellation made for a nice bonus: your own private Alaska tour! I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations and sharing a bit of Alaska with you. Thank you for choosing Planet Earth Adventures, and I hope our paths cross again someday. Safe travels back to Italy and the UK!
Wonderful experience to see the dogs in action and experiencing the power of them pulling you in the sled.
Thank you for the great review! There’s nothing quite like experiencing the excitement and incredible power of Alaska’s sled dogs firsthand. We’re glad you had the opportunity to see these amazing athletes in action and experience a sled ride for yourself. Thank you for choosing Planet Earth Adventures, and we hope this becomes one of your favorite memories from Alaska!
Stopped along the way and driver gave and pointed a lot of facts about the area and animals. Saw Doll sheep on the rocks and an eagles nest with babies along the way and stopped to photograph. Once at conservation center they drove us through, then dropped us off to explore on our own. Loved seeing the animals up close.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the journey and all the wildlife sightings along the way—Dall sheep on the rocks and an eagle’s nest with babies is truly something special. It’s great to know your driver was able to share interesting facts about the area and animals, and that you appreciated the photo stops. We’re also glad you enjoyed your time at the conservation center and getting up close with the animals. We really appreciate you choosing to travel with us, and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
The tour was basically a lot of driving while the guide talked about past experiences and showed us videos of past experiences. We saw a handful of animals at the rescue/conservation center. The guide pretty well excluded us as he was exchanging contacts and information with the other family. P.S. Snacks were mentioned, but not offered. Obviously, we are from out of town and are not familiar with Anchorage. The guide seemed irritated when asked about parking.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. After carefully reviewing our reservation records and tour manifests, we have been unable to locate a booking under your name or any tour matching the circumstances you described. Because of this, we believe your review may have been intended for another tour company. I have personally been guiding our Wildlife Conservation Center tours throughout this summer, and the experience you describe simply does not align with how our tours are conducted or with the hundreds of five-star reviews we have received from other guests. We pride ourselves on making every traveler feel welcome and included, sharing Alaska’s history, wildlife, and local knowledge throughout the day, and providing attentive, personalized service. Complimentary snacks are routinely offered, and we are always happy to answer questions and assist visitors with parking or anything else they need while in Anchorage. If there is any possibility that you did travel with Planet Earth Adventures, we would genuinely appreciate you contacting us directly with the name on your reservation and your tour date so we can investigate further. If we made a mistake, we want to make it right. However, based on our records, we believe this review may have been posted for the wrong company. We wish you safe travels and hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Alaska.
Very informative guide. Breathtaking scenic drive. Great first day activity. Bundle up if it’s cool outside.
Very scenic and informative. Nice small group. Wildlife conservation center windy and cold that detracted from experience but can’t help that. Not as many animals as I expected but wide variety. Had time to walk around on our own which was good. Made handful of stops on way to center. Snow capped mountains were beautiful.
Phil great guide and viewing of animals unbelievable and so close to animals.
Albert was very friendly and gave us a fun tour. He made multiple stops for pictures, and helped us get some great shots of the wildlife. He was very informative and told us a lot about the local area. Everyone had wonderful time on the excursion.
Very reasonable price considering all the transportation, information, and interaction. Our guide was Albert. He was very knowledgeable about the area, history, and wildlife. Wish we had more time at the conservation center but definitely glad we went. Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys wildlife, but maybe try and plan for more than 1 hour.
