Itinerario
Experimente la increíble cara de un poderoso glaciar de Alaska en su crucero de una hora a bordo del mv Ptarmigan. Parado a solo 300 metros de una reliquia de la Edad de Hielo y observando los icebergs para romper el glaciar y estrellarse contra el agua. Descubrirá por qué Portage Glacier es la segunda atracción más visitada de Alaska.
En el Centro de Conservación de Vida Silvestre de Alaska de 140 acres, las fauces caen en asombro, incluso las de los antiguos habitantes de Alaska. La misión de AWCC es proporcionar refugio a animales huérfanos, heridos y enfermos, aquellos que no pueden sobrevivir en la naturaleza. El centro también educa a los visitantes sobre la vida silvestre de Alaska. Algunos de los animales que verás son osos pardos, osos negros, manada de lobos, bisontes de madera, alces, etc.
Tome nuestro impresionante viaje por la autopista Seward Highway, que es uno de los mejores caminos escénicos de América, donde verá impresionantes paradas a lo largo del brazo de Turnagain. La carretera Seward de Alaska sube por los pasos de las montañas, donde está rodeado de impresionantes vistas de picos irregulares, bosques tropicales, lagos de aguas cristalinas y el Océano Pacífico. Esta carretera es realmente, el sueño de un fotógrafo. Potter Marsh marca el final de las vistas de la ciudad y el comienzo de la vida silvestre: ¡es absolutamente un paraíso para los "pajareros"! Mientras conducimos por esta carretera, nos detenemos en muchas oportunidades con tiempo suficiente para disfrutar de las impresionantes vistas que harán que su alma cante.

Brooks was an amazing, knowledgeable tour guide. He took us to a glacier lake and went over and above. Definitely recommend!
Great tour, very enjoyable trip. The twirling Bear at the conservation center was pretty cool as was the boat ride to the glacier. Very friendly driver/guide
Our Portage Glacier Cruise & Wildlife Discovery Tour was such a fun and memorable experience! We had the opportunity to see moose, reindeer (we must’ve missed Santa! 😉), brown and black bears, caribou, and so much more. I truly appreciate attractions like this that use their proceeds to rehabilitate animals, provide safe breeding habitats, and always put the animals’ well-being first—whether that means returning them to the wild or giving them a safe, comfortable home for the rest of their lives. Afterward, we took a short drive to board the Ptarmigan for our Portage Glacier Cruise. The captain and crew were incredibly welcoming and got us up close and personal to a magnificent glacier and several breathtaking waterfalls. A special shout-out to our motorcoach driver and guide, Matthew, who did a fantastic job narrating the drive. He pointed out interesting landmarks, shared local history, and let us know where to keep an eye out for free-roaming moose, bears, and even beluga whales. We were lucky enough to spot a moose peeking out from the trees on our drive back, and as a bonus, we also saw a majestic bald eagle standing guard over its nest—such an incredible sight! It was a fun, educational, and scenic day that I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting Anchorage, Alaska.
Wonderful day filled with knowledge, enjoyment and laughs. Our guide was personable and accommodating and the cruise commentator was hilarious.
Weather is unpredictable. Wear a jacket. Portage Glacier and surrounding areas are awesome. Have your camera ready!
The group was small, we enjoyed the wonderful views and also shared experiences with people from our group. The driver was friendly and knowledgeable about the trip, the story of our view and the Alaskans’ culture, Great experience!
Amazing to do. You are on very old ice and everything is exciting
Our excursion was cancelled due to weather (high winds) concerns, so while we were disappointed and they did NOT offer to refund our $$, they did take us to another resort area for a tram ride, it was beautiful there. They were determined to fill the allotted time with sights. (Totally different than original plan) So good guide, Brad, but mixed reviews. We were with a nice group, a big plus.
Beautiful scenery. Gary, our guide, was super knowledgeable and friendly. We had a wonderful excursion. Portage Glacier tour is a must.
Very personable and knowledgeable tour guide! We traveled to all of the hot spots that were on our list. I would book again if I visit Anchorage again.
