Tour privado por el glaciar Turnagain Arm desde Anchorage
Descripción
Experimenta Alaska a tu manera en este tour totalmente privado y personalizable. Disfruta de la libertad de marcar tu propio ritmo, solicitar paradas de fotos y personalizar el día para que coincida con tus intereses. Como tu guía y fotógrafo local, capturaré lo más destacado: vistas panorámicas, encuentros con la vida silvestre y momentos de grupo sinceros, y luego te enviaré una galería seleccionada de fotos editadas. Cuando la gente se imagina Alaska, imagina animales salvajes, montañas imponentes y un sinfín de glaciares. Turnagain Arm ofrece todo eso, solo un corto y pintoresco trayecto desde Anchorage. Esta impresionante ensenada es famosa por sus mareas masivas, los escarpados telón de fondo de las montañas y la rara marea perforada, donde una sola ola barre toda la ensenada. Recorreremos la autopista Seward, una de las rutas más pintorescas de América del Norte. El camino abraza la costa, ofreciendo infinitas vistas y oportunidades para avistar alces, águilas calvas, ovejas Dall y ballenas potencialmente belugas. Con transporte privado y un itinerario flexible, se trata de aprovechar al máximo.

Itinerario
Beluga Point es una de las primeras paradas panorámicas a lo largo del brazo Turnagain, a solo 20 minutos al sur de Anchorage. Encaramado sobre las espectaculares llanuras de marea, ofrece vistas panorámicas de las montañas circundantes y la oportunidad de avistar ovejas Dall en los acantilados y, durante ciertas épocas del año, ballenas beluga siguiendo escuelas de peces gamberros a través de la ensenada. Es una introducción perfecta a la belleza salvaje del centro sur de Alaska y una parada de fotos favorita para los huéspedes.
Girdwood es una encantadora ciudad de montaña ubicada en un exuberante valle rodeado por las montañas Chugach, a unos 40 minutos al sur de Anchorage a lo largo del brazo Turnagain. Conocido por su vibrante escena artística, el paisaje alpino y como hogar de Alyeska Resort, es un lugar perfecto para estirar las piernas, tomar un café o disfrutar de una comida. Con imponentes abetos, arroyos en cascada y acogedores negocios locales, Girdwood ofrece un ambiente tranquilo y de pueblo pequeño con gran carácter de Alaska.
El Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC) es un santuario sin fines de lucro ubicado en Portage Valley, aproximadamente 47 millas al sur de Anchorage a lo largo de la pintoresca Seward Highway. Ubicado entre las montañas Chugach y el brazo Turnagain, el centro abarca más de 200 acres de hábitat natural dedicado al cuidado y conservación de la vida silvestre nativa de Alaska. Los visitantes pueden observar una variedad de animales, incluyendo osos pardos y negros, alces, bisontes de madera, almizcles, lobos, linces, caribúes y águilas calvas. Muchos de estos animales son rescates —heridos o huérfanos— y ahora sirven como embajadores de su especie. El centro ofrece un bucle de 1,5 millas accesible a pie, bicicleta o automóvil, lo que brinda oportunidades para ver animales en espaciosos recintos naturalistas. Como parada clave en el Turnagain Arm tour, AWCC combina la observación de vida silvestre con un paisaje impresionante, lo que lo convierte en un punto culminante memorable de cualquier aventura de Alaska.
Portage Valley, ubicado dentro del Bosque Nacional Chugach, es un corredor tallado glacialmente rico en belleza natural y uno de los lugares más accesibles del centro-sur de Alaska para ver los glaciares. A solo un corto trayecto en coche del Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, este impresionante valle está rodeado de picos imponentes y múltiples glaciares colgantes, incluidos los glaciares Explorer, Middle y Byron. El Begich, Boggs Visitor Center ofrece exposiciones interactivas sobre glaciología y ecosistemas locales, mientras que los senderos cercanos como el Byron Glacier Trail ofrecen una caminata fácil para ver de cerca el hielo glaciar. Es una parada obligada para aquellos que quieran sumergirse en los paisajes salvajes y helados de Alaska.

I booked directly with Shane and the whole experience was lovely. We were a group of 11 people including 2 senior citizens and four kids under 10. Shane was responsive on phone and text prior to leaving and was very punctual. He had a calm and knowledgeable demeanor and the van was the perfect size for our group. He drove carefully and had so much information, history, facts to share with the adults and kids. We started at 8:30am and ended at 1:30 and were able to spend tons of time at the wildlife conservation center which the kids loved so much. I would recommend Shane for all your Anchorage sightseeing needs.
We hired Blueberry Tours to pick us up at the port in Whittier the morning after our cruise, show us around the area, and take us to the Anchorage airport in time for our 8:30pm flight. Since it was a private tour, we were able to customize the itinerary in anyway we wished, stopping whenever and wherever we wanted to. The driver, Shane, is an Alaskan native, born and raised in Anchorage, so he was extremely knowledgeable about EVERYTHING. He showed us many interesting sights, made several stops, and recommended a great place for us to have lunch (while he ate his lunch in the car). We even saw a moose and her calf up-close in the wild! He drives a very clean, comfortable mini van stocked with water and snacks—which was much better than riding in a tour bus with other passengers, IMO! Highly recommend!
Wow! What can I say? Blueberry Tours was exactly what we needed for exploring the breathtaking area around Anchorage. Shane was amazing, sharing so much of the natural beauty that surrounds the Turnagain Arm south of Anchorage. From the moment he picked us up in a stylish minivan, everything felt easy and thoughtfully planned. He provided water, snacks, and field glasses for us to use along the way. We visited so many beautiful places and took in wildlife, waterfalls, glaciers, animals, and incredible flora. Around every bend there seemed to be another jaw-dropping view: mountains rising around us, water sparkling beside the road, and Alaska showing off in the most unforgettable ways. I was traveling with my aging parents, and Shane was so gentle, patient, and accommodating with them. He was willing to adapt the tour as needed, while still having a wonderful lineup of stops ready for us. We especially loved hearing his perspective as an Alaskan local. If you are looking for the perfect way to spend a day in the Anchorage area, be sure to book with Blueberry Tours. You won’t regret it!
This was honestly the best thing we could’ve done to experience Alaska from a native. We got to see beautiful views, have a beer and some curry, and walk a trail straight out of a winter wonderland. I absolutely recommend this tour to anyone wanting a genuinely amazing tour.
Perfect Day! I’m so glad I found Shane and Blueberry Tours, every part of our day was amazing. There were 11 of us, grandparents, daughters and son-in-laws, 5 grandkids, ages 10-66. We started out as the 6 hours tour, but we added more stops and sites as we went, ended up 9 hours. That might seem long, but it wasn’t, we could have kept going, so much to see! Shane is so helpful, experienced, friendly, highly, highly recommend doing this. From the start, it was so easy booking, communication throughout was perfect. He customized everything for us. The van was comfortable, clean, he even had snacks and water. Throughout the day and all the stops he explained the area and history which made it so special. Very organized, he had a spotting scope so we could see Dahl sheep, he had extra binoculars, then on top of that, he took family photos throughout. Our day couldn’t have been better, the weather was perfect a clear sunny day! From Potters Marsh, Beluga Point, Alaskan Wildlife Center, Portage Glacier Cruise, Virgin River Falls, Flat Top Mountain, amazing, amazing, AMAZING!!! I wouldn’t have changed anything, our day, the experience, the sites, perfect! The price, so affordable, Blueberry Tours offers a flat rate, we chose to add on the extra hours too. Very organized, very experienced, very helpful. Thank you Shane for this absolutely perfect tour!
My husband and I had a great time on the 6 hour private tour being driven around in a minivan by Shane to tour the Turnagain Arm area. We stopped at Potter Marsh, Beluga Point, Girdwood, Alyeska Resort, and the Wildlife Conservation Center, along with several other stops. It was the perfect combination of riding and getting out and walking to see and photograph the wildlife and scenery. Shane also takes great photos with his own personal camera and sent them to us immediately after we completed our tour. He also had water and snacks for us. He is very accommodating to make sure we went to the places of most interest to us. He has great knowledge of the area. It was a very pleasant, laid back and informative tour of the area.
Shane took our family of four and our niece who lives in Anchorage, along the Palmer Hwy to Matanuska Glacier. The opportunity to hike around this phenomenon was just dreamy. Shane was so sweet because the 1st few miles, we were catching up with our niece …we were quite loud, so he is quite the gentleman. We loved hearing about his life. Shane is an exceptional driver…too careful for us mad max Houstonians ! He stopped for several times for photos with mountain vistas. You can’t go wrong with this personalized tour operator. He is very accommodating. We are booked for another trip tomorrow!
This could not have been a better tour for us. The guide was great and we saw a tremendous amount. A must do
My family and I had a great time on this tour. Shane is an absolutely wonderful tour guide and we would highly recommend him. This tour included seeing Girdwood, the Conservation Center and a short hike to a frozen waterfall. Our favorite part was the hike as it was a little adventurous. Shane took many photos of us on the tour which helped capture the memories.
This tour was amazing, and honestly the best way to explore. Shane is such a great guide, he is personable and knowledgeable and fun to be around, He was able to give great suggestions for ways to tailor our itinerary to our interests and ways to accommodate my mother’s mobility issues, which allowed for such an enjoyable experience! We felt so taken care of, and really enjoyed how the private tour allowed us to spend the time our way- and that the views and ability to stop at any time gave us ability to get so many great 0ics! Shane would also take pics of us and the scenery and his photos are amazing which really helped us be able to stay in the moment and enjoy! We had such an enjoyable time that we booked an additional day and did the Hatcher pass tour which was also amazing with stunning views and if you have time I would also strongly recommend!
