Itinerario
El Centro de Conservación de la Vida Silvestre de Alaska es la atracción turística número uno del centro sur de Alaska. El Centro de Conservación de Vida Silvestre es un santuario sin fines de lucro dedicado a preservar la vida silvestre de Alaska a través de la conservación, la investigación, la educación y el cuidado animal de calidad. Los visitantes pueden esperar sumergirse en la belleza natural de la región y tener la oportunidad de observar de cerca una amplia gama de vida silvestre nativa, incluidos osos, lobos, alces, lobos y águilas, entre otros, en espaciosos hábitats cuidadosamente diseñados de 200 acres. que imitan su entorno natural. Es una experiencia inolvidable que fomenta una apreciación más profunda de la vida silvestre de Alaska.
Breve parada en Portage Valley, donde verá varios glaciares colgantes que alguna vez se extendieron a lo largo de todo el valle de 14 millas. ¡El glaciar Portage ha retrocedido aproximadamente 2 1/2 millas y ha dejado atrás un lago muerto! Los restos glaciares que se ven hoy son los glaciares Explorer, Middle, Byron, Burns y Shakespeare. Si bien todavía tienen un tamaño enorme, estos glaciares son pequeños recordatorios de las inmensas capas de hielo que alguna vez cubrieron este paisaje. Lo siguiente será un paseo por la selva tropical, luego disfrutará de su viaje de regreso al Parque Estatal Chugach y maravíllese con las impresionantes vistas de Turnagain Arm.
En Beluga Point, los visitantes pueden disfrutar de impresionantes vistas de Turnagan Arm con su amplio paisaje costero y sus escarpados acantilados; a menudo, en primavera y verano, se pueden vislumbrar ballenas beluga nadando en las aguas. El propio Turnagan Arm ofrece posibles oportunidades para observar la vida silvestre, incluidas las ballenas beluga, las ovejas de Dall, las águilas calvas y, a veces, los osos, así como vistas panorámicas de las montañas Chugach y el fenómeno único de las mareas perforadas.
El viaje panorámico hasta el Centro de Conservación de la Vida Silvestre de Alaska de ida y vuelta a Anchorage dura 2 horas y 30 minutos. Total ida y vuelta.

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
