Turnagain Arm y Portage Valley Private Tour
Descripción
Explore el hermoso Turnagain Arm y Portage Valley con un guía local y privado. Desde Anchorage, viajaremos por la pintoresca autopista Seward. Una de las 13 carreteras de los EE. UU. Con la distinción de "All American Road". A lo largo del camino tendremos grandes oportunidades para ver y fotografiar la vida silvestre y las vistas panorámicas. Primero paramos en el hermoso Hotel Alyeska y la ciudad de esquí de Girdwood. Tome un tranvía panorámico opcional hasta la cima del monte Alyeska para almorzar con vista. Siguiente parada en Portage, donde abordará el mv Ptarmigan para un crucero opcional de una hora a través del impresionante paisaje del lago Portage salpicado de iceberg. Después del crucero, deténgase en el Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, una organización sin fines de lucro dedicada a preservar la vida silvestre de Alaska. Luego, regrese a Anchorage y disfrute de un recorrido por la ciudad narrado que incluye los mejores lugares para comer.

Glaciar Portage
Seward
A continuación, disfrute de las vistas a lo largo del incomparable Turnagain Arm, una zona de Alaska increíblemente hermosa, hogar de una gran variedad de vida silvestre, entre la que se incluyen ovejas de Dall, cabras montesas, alces, ballenas beluga, osos negros y especies de aves migratorias.
Girdwood es una ciudad turística en el extremo sur del municipio de Anchorage. Girdwood se encuentra cerca del final del brazo Turnagain de Cook Inlet, en un valle en las montañas Chugach del suroeste, rodeada por siete glaciares que alimentan varios arroyos, que convergen en el valle o desembocan directamente en el brazo.
Tranvía aéreo de Alyeska
Potter Marsh, en el extremo sur del Refugio de Vida Silvestre Costero de Anchorage, es un descanso ideal de Anchorage para los observadores de aves y otros animales salvajes. Desde la autopista Seward, justo antes del giro a la izquierda hacia el estacionamiento de Potter Marsh, podrá disfrutar de una vista impresionante de Turnagain Arm. Una pasarela de madera serpentea 1550 pies desde el área de estacionamiento a través del pantano y a través de aberturas acuáticas y juncos, hábitat perfecto para una rica variedad de aves. Desde fines de abril hasta septiembre, los gansos canadienses, los patos rabudos, los patos de lomo blanco, los falaropos cuellirrojos, los somormujos cuellirrojos y cuellirrojos y los aguiluchos norteños usan este humedal. Busque nidos de águila en los álamos cerca de la base del acantilado usando binoculares o un telescopio.

El sitio de Beluga Point es un sitio arqueológico a lo largo del brazo Turnagain de Cook Inlet. Fue agregado al Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos el 30 de marzo de 1978. Los artefactos del área son evidencia de la presencia humana temprana. Los artefactos de Beluga Point North 1 (BPN1) tienen entre 8000 y 10 000 años de antigüedad y se cree que son evidencia de la presencia humana más antigua en el municipio de Anchorage. Beluga Point también es un área de observación de vida silvestre. Las ballenas beluga se pueden avistar estacionalmente de julio a agosto, ya que cientos de cetáceos visitan Cook Inlet para alimentarse de la migración del salmón del Pacífico.
El AWCC acepta animales heridos y huérfanos durante todo el año, brindando recintos espaciosos y cuidado animal de calidad. Aquí puede ver y fotografiar de cerca los animales icónicos de Alaska que no pueden ser liberados en la naturaleza.

Other than a hiccup with the dining at the top of the tram not being available, we had a great day on Turnagain Arm. Dawn was a wonderful guide--offered good information along the way but also was sensitive to our need for "quiet time" as we were tired from two weeks of traveling in Alaska. Good balance overall, and a gorgeous day to see Portage Glacier!
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a nice note! We will make sure to pass this along to Dawn as well!
Eight hours in Anchorage? It’s a “must do”….with Mike!!? The man was the perfect guide for this trip.
Thank you for the nod to our guide Mike. He is a top guide in our group of Alaskans who serve as our knowledgeable and very fun tour leaders. Our staff is clever and accommodating for our Anchorage Tour and our Turnagain Arm Tour, as well as all the other tours we provide to visitors.
We had an incredible day on this tour with our guide John. He was very knowledgeable friendly and provided great insight. He also had a lot of good suggestions for additional experiences while we’re in Alaska that we hope to do on a future trip.
Hi there, Thank you for your wonderful review! We are glad you enjoyed your Anchorage City Tour with John. Next time you are in Alaska give us a ring, we have so many incredible things to show you across the state! Cheers,
Did the Turnagain Arm Tour and had a blast with our guide, John! We was both engaging and informative. Loved the first hand knowledge he shared with us. We lucked out with a GORGEOUS day and got some awesome pictures! Only downside was trying to get lunch at the top of the tram at Alyeska, but that was on us for choosing to go that way. Warning for others... it was over an hour wait for food and seating was a nightmare. John, however, was great and so patient while waiting for us. We ended up just switching the food to go and ate in the bus. Thank you John for our outstanding experience!!!!
We had to change our plans at the last minute. I called GLA at 9am and by 10:30am we were on our tour. John was terrific. The experience was professional and fun!
So glad you enjoyed your tour, and we were able to help you fill your day last minute!
I can't say enough about planning Alaskan excursions with Steve at Greatland Adventures. My husband and I visited Alaska for the first time August 6-15, 2019. We were looking for multiple excursions in both Anchorage and Seward and were interested in smaller group type of activities as I wanted to photograph and video the experiences which is hard to do with a lot of people. Steve worked with me to provide what he could through his company, but ALSO worked with other tour operators to plan the perfect trip. The Turnagain Arm tour was AMAZING! We had a wonderful driver Orion who took us to the Alyeska resort, the Wildlife Conservation Center, and a Portage Glacier Cruise. I was able to get some amazing images of the beautiful vistas and local wildlife. Orion also provided us with historical information about Alaska along the way. Steve helped me to find the right hotels prior to our trip. He worked with 4 other tour operators to get us on an ATV tour, a helicopter and dogsledding tour, a whale watching tour, and a zip lining tour. This company is terrific and our trip would not have been what it was without the help of Steve and his wonderful staff!! WE CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!
Thank you so very much for your kind words! We do our absolute best to provide first class customer service to all our guests, from inquiry, booking, tour operations, and on to the follow up! We are so glad Steve was able to accommodate you in all aspects of your Alaskan vacation, and Orion showed you a truly memorable time on the Turnagain Arm! Best Regards, Rochelle
Our family of eight including two children took this tour today. Steve was our guide and he was friendly and informative. We took the tram ride up Mt. Alyeska and then on to the Portage Lake and Glacier tour. We finished up with a visit to the Wildlife Conservation Center. A wonderful and memorable day. Thanks Steve!
I had a great time with your group! Thank you for sharing your experience with others.
Absolutely fantastic trip today to Turnagain Arm and Portage Valley. Our guide Vern was knowledgeable and friendly, with a story for every occasion. All aspects of our day from initial booking to return home were professional and hassle free. Our group of 8 all loved it and will recommend this company for years to come. Thanks Greatland Adventures - Aussie 8
Thank you Jenny S! Vern mentioned that he had a really great time with your group. We are glad that you enjoyed the tour and the personalized service that a private tour provides. We really hope you can come back and have some more fun with us in the future. Cheers.
