Itinerário
Visitaremos o Centro de Conservação da Vida Selvagem do Alasca. O AWCC foi aberto ao público em 1993. Ele está localizado em 140 acres na extremidade sul de Turnagain Arm e na entrada de Portage Valley. A missão do centro é fornecer cuidados e reabilitação para animais selvagens feridos e órfãos e fornecer educação e conscientização sobre a vida selvagem. Os animais que não podem ser soltos ou sobreviver na natureza recebem refúgio nos habitats espaçosos do centro. Aqui as pessoas podem se aproximar com segurança, observar e fotografar alguns dos maiores animais terrestres do Alasca, incluindo alces, bisões, alces, veados, caribus, ursos almiscarados, pequenos mamíferos e aves de rapina. Durante a primavera e o verão, os visitantes muitas vezes podem testemunhar a reabilitação de filhotes órfãos de várias espécies.
Beluga Point é uma área que recebeu esse nome em homenagem às baleias beluga que podem ser vistas da costa, especialmente durante os meses de verão (julho a agosto). Esta área oferece várias atrações naturais que a tornam uma parada popular para visitantes, como vida selvagem, vistas de tirar o fôlego do Turnagain Arm, um estreito canal cercado por montanhas. O cenário cênico de montanhas e oceano cria oportunidades para fotografias deslumbrantes e reflexão silenciosa. Às vezes, também podemos ver um fenômeno chamado de maré, onde uma parede de água entra, revertendo o fluxo do rio. A onda de maré pode ser vista ao longo do Turnagain Arm, e Beluga Point é um dos pontos onde as pessoas se reúnem para testemunhar esse evento natural.
Turnagain Arm é um deslumbrante canal em forma de fiorde localizado a sudeste de Anchorage, Alasca, conhecido por suas marés dramáticas, vistas de tirar o fôlego das montanhas e vida selvagem abundante. Parte de Cook Inlet, ele apresenta uma das maiores cadeias de maré do mundo, criando um furo de maré único onde uma onda avança para o interior durante a maré alta. Os visitantes costumam avistar baleias beluga, carneiros-de-dall e várias espécies de pássaros ao longo de suas margens. A Seward Highway, que corre ao longo de Turnagain Arm, oferece uma das viagens mais cênicas do Alasca, com vistas de montanhas escarpadas e vastas planícies de maré. Seu guia fará várias paradas ao longo do caminho para fotos e interpretação.

It was a wonderful tour. We had a great time. Our tour guide Albert was amazing. Thanks for a great day!
Thank you so much for the kind words! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and showing you some of the incredible places that make Alaska so special. I really enjoyed our time together and the conversations along the way. Thank you for choosing Planet Earth Adventures and for allowing me to be part of your Alaska experience. I hope you left with some great memories—and perhaps a reason to come back and visit us again someday! Safe Travels!
Definitely a good tour to book. We got a full 2hours at the conservation park which you really need to walk the whole place without rushing. We were lucky that a group had cancelled so we had Albert as our "private" tour guide. Such a nice guy & so interesting to talk to. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanks Albert Sarah & Alison (Italy & UK)
Sarah and Alison, thank you for the wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you both. I’m glad you appreciated having a full two hours at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center—we intentionally allow plenty of time there so our guests can explore and enjoy the animals without feeling rushed. As it turned out, the cancellation made for a nice bonus: your own private Alaska tour! I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations and sharing a bit of Alaska with you. Thank you for choosing Planet Earth Adventures, and I hope our paths cross again someday. Safe travels back to Italy and the UK!
Wonderful experience to see the dogs in action and experiencing the power of them pulling you in the sled.
Thank you for the great review! There’s nothing quite like experiencing the excitement and incredible power of Alaska’s sled dogs firsthand. We’re glad you had the opportunity to see these amazing athletes in action and experience a sled ride for yourself. Thank you for choosing Planet Earth Adventures, and we hope this becomes one of your favorite memories from Alaska!
Stopped along the way and driver gave and pointed a lot of facts about the area and animals. Saw Doll sheep on the rocks and an eagles nest with babies along the way and stopped to photograph. Once at conservation center they drove us through, then dropped us off to explore on our own. Loved seeing the animals up close.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the journey and all the wildlife sightings along the way—Dall sheep on the rocks and an eagle’s nest with babies is truly something special. It’s great to know your driver was able to share interesting facts about the area and animals, and that you appreciated the photo stops. We’re also glad you enjoyed your time at the conservation center and getting up close with the animals. We really appreciate you choosing to travel with us, and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
The tour was basically a lot of driving while the guide talked about past experiences and showed us videos of past experiences. We saw a handful of animals at the rescue/conservation center. The guide pretty well excluded us as he was exchanging contacts and information with the other family. P.S. Snacks were mentioned, but not offered. Obviously, we are from out of town and are not familiar with Anchorage. The guide seemed irritated when asked about parking.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. After carefully reviewing our reservation records and tour manifests, we have been unable to locate a booking under your name or any tour matching the circumstances you described. Because of this, we believe your review may have been intended for another tour company. I have personally been guiding our Wildlife Conservation Center tours throughout this summer, and the experience you describe simply does not align with how our tours are conducted or with the hundreds of five-star reviews we have received from other guests. We pride ourselves on making every traveler feel welcome and included, sharing Alaska’s history, wildlife, and local knowledge throughout the day, and providing attentive, personalized service. Complimentary snacks are routinely offered, and we are always happy to answer questions and assist visitors with parking or anything else they need while in Anchorage. If there is any possibility that you did travel with Planet Earth Adventures, we would genuinely appreciate you contacting us directly with the name on your reservation and your tour date so we can investigate further. If we made a mistake, we want to make it right. However, based on our records, we believe this review may have been posted for the wrong company. We wish you safe travels and hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Alaska.
Very informative guide. Breathtaking scenic drive. Great first day activity. Bundle up if it’s cool outside.
Very scenic and informative. Nice small group. Wildlife conservation center windy and cold that detracted from experience but can’t help that. Not as many animals as I expected but wide variety. Had time to walk around on our own which was good. Made handful of stops on way to center. Snow capped mountains were beautiful.
Phil great guide and viewing of animals unbelievable and so close to animals.
Albert was very friendly and gave us a fun tour. He made multiple stops for pictures, and helped us get some great shots of the wildlife. He was very informative and told us a lot about the local area. Everyone had wonderful time on the excursion.
Very reasonable price considering all the transportation, information, and interaction. Our guide was Albert. He was very knowledgeable about the area, history, and wildlife. Wish we had more time at the conservation center but definitely glad we went. Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys wildlife, but maybe try and plan for more than 1 hour.
