Itinerario
Viaja por la pintoresca e impresionante Seward Highway mientras te diriges a unas 50 millas al sur de Anchorage. Conduce por el Turnagain Arm, una vía navegable famosa por el capitán Cook. Pase por las áreas panorámicas con aves migratorias, cabras montesas a lo largo de los acantilados junto a la carretera y mantenga la vista en busca del fenómeno de la "marea calada", todo mientras recibe la narración de su guía en el camino al lago Portage.
Una vez que llegue al sitio de botes de Portage Glacier Cruises, disfrute del paisaje del lago Portage, donde está rodeado de glaciares y hermosas vistas. Abordarás el M/V Ptarmigan, un barco construido a medida y único barco en Portage Lake, que te llevará a la cara del glaciar Portage. Deslízate por el lago y rodéate de cascadas, espía cabras montesas en los picos de arriba y disfruta del tiempo tanto dentro de la cubierta principal calentada con vistas de 360 grados o en la cubierta superior con vistas al aire libre y sin obstáculos de la belleza que te rodea. El crucero incluye una narración atractiva sobre la flora, fauna, historia de la zona y datos interesantes sobre los glaciares y el significado cultural del valle de Portage.

Breath taking views! Wonderful Portage Glacier cruise experience! Loved that the vessel got super close to the glacier! Thanks Matt!
We rode the van to a boat to Portage Glacier. It was amazing! The narration was excellent, and the views were breathtaking! Highly recommend!
Great experience, awesome friendly people. Enjoyed the whole package.
INCREDIBLE views on the drive from Anchorage, great boat ride right up to the glacier, and knowledgeable and informative guides all around. I learned so much about the geography and history of the area. The ease of the trip with the van transport was a great bang for your buck, and I couldn't recommend this excursion more!!
I definitely recommend this tour! Our driver & boat captain, George was really funny & engaging! He narrated the sites on the hour drive on way to the boat, which made that so much more than transportation! The ride on the boat was fantastic, we got up very close to the glacier and even got to see it calve! Our tour was sold out that day but the boat did not feel full or crowded at all. There was plenty of room around the rails for everyone to see and take pictures. I’ve already made notes on my personal itinerary that I share with friends that this is a must do!
We have been in Anchorage Alaska for two days and it hasn't stopped raining keeping us indoors.. So we decided to go and have alook at a glazier, we would be able to see it whether it was raining or not. Turned out to be a great day and would recommend this tour if you just want to go on a boat for an hour in whatever weather is.
Excellent experience, the commentary was interesting and fun. We had good weather and the views were incredible.
Just the right amount of time; 1 hour drive each way along the spectacular Turnagain Arm and one hour on the boat. Driver and boat personnel were friendly, funny and professional. Great half day tour.
I only had a short time in Anchorage and this was perfect. Scheduling was easy and pick up site was very close for me. George our driver/ narrator/tour guide was awesome. Most importantly was the boat tour. The boat had upper open air deck or lower climate-controlled deck which made it nice for everyone. The lake was a nice blue color and surrounded by mountains. The views were stunning. On one side the mountains were snow covered and green foliage on the other. The glacier was pretty large and had a blue tint. The crew pulled a piece of ice from the water and we could see how compacted it was. I learned so much about glaciers.
Tour guide George was excellent he was entertaining and informative! The whole crew did a really good job.
