Tour privato di Turnagain Arm e Portage Valley
Descrizione
Esplora la bellissima Turnagain Arm e la Portage Valley con una guida privata e locale. Da Anchorage, viaggeremo lungo la panoramica Seward Highway. Una delle sole 13 autostrade negli Stati Uniti con la distinzione di "All American Road". Lungo la strada avremo grandi opportunità per vedere e fotografare la fauna selvatica e panorami panoramici. Per prima cosa ci fermiamo al bellissimo Hotel Alyeska e alla località sciistica di Girdwood. Prendi un tram panoramico opzionale fino alla cima del Monte Alyeska per pranzo con vista. Prossima tappa Portage, dove salirai a bordo della mv Ptarmigan per una crociera facoltativa di un'ora attraverso lo splendido scenario del lago Portage punteggiato di iceberg. Dopo la crociera, fermati all'Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, un'organizzazione senza scopo di lucro dedicata alla conservazione della fauna selvatica dell'Alaska. Successivamente, torna ad Anchorage e goditi un tour della città narrato che include tutti i migliori ristoranti.

Itinerario
Ghiacciaio di Portage
Seward
Poi, godetevi la vista lungo l'incomparabile Turnagain Arm, una parte di Alaska incredibilmente bella che ospita una miriade di animali selvatici, tra cui pecore di Dall, capre di montagna, alci, balene beluga, orsi neri e specie di uccelli migratori.
Girdwood è una località turistica nella parte meridionale del comune di Anchorage. Situata vicino alla fine del braccio Turnagain di Cook Inlet, Girdwood si trova in una valle nei monti Chugach sud-occidentali, circondata da sette ghiacciai che alimentano diversi torrenti, che convergono nella valle o sfociano direttamente nel braccio.
Alyeska Aerial Tram
Potter Marsh, all'estremità meridionale dell'Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge, è una pausa ideale da Anchorage per gli amanti degli uccelli e altri osservatori della fauna selvatica. Dalla Seward Highway, appena prima della svolta a sinistra nel parcheggio di Potter Marsh, si può ammirare una vista mozzafiato di Turnagain Arm. Una passerella di legno si snoda per 1.550 piedi dall'area di parcheggio attraverso la palude e attraverso radure acquose e carici, habitat perfetto per una ricca varietà di uccelli. Da fine aprile a settembre, oche canadesi, codoni settentrionali, anatre canadesi, falaropi dal collo rosso, svassi cornuti e dal collo rosso e albanelle settentrionali utilizzano questa zona umida. Cerca i nidi d'aquila nei pioppi vicino alla base della scogliera usando un binocolo o un cannocchiale.

Beluga Point Site è un sito archeologico lungo Turnagain Arm di Cook Inlet. È stato aggiunto al National Register of Historic Places il 30 marzo 1978. I reperti della zona sono la prova di un'antica presenza umana. I reperti di Beluga Point North 1 (BPN1) hanno 8.000-10.000 anni e si ritiene che siano la prova dell'abitazione più antica nel comune di Anchorage. Beluga Point è anche un'area di osservazione della fauna selvatica. Le balene beluga possono essere avvistate stagionalmente da luglio ad agosto, poiché centinaia di cetacei visitano Cook Inlet per nutrirsi della corsa dei salmoni del Pacifico.
L'AWCC accoglie animali feriti e orfani tutto l'anno, fornendo ampi recinti e cure di qualità per gli animali. Qui puoi vedere e fotografare da vicino gli animali iconici dell'Alaska che non possono essere rilasciati in natura.

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.
