Excursão de dia inteiro em Turnagain
Descrição
Um passeio totalmente narrado por um guia local ao longo de Turnagain Arm oferece vistas deslumbrantes de montanhas escarpadas, geleiras e flora e fauna do Alasca (ou seja, flores silvestres, águias americanas, ovelhas Dall, baleias beluga). Pararemos no Centro de Conservação da Vida Selvagem do Alasca (AWCC), onde os visitantes podem ver de perto e tirar fotos dos animais mais emblemáticos do Alasca, incluindo ursos marrons, alces, caribus e muskox. A partir daí, o passeio continuará descendo o cênico Portage Valley, onde os visitantes podem apreciar vistas espetaculares de altas montanhas, cascatas, o belo Lago Portage e várias geleiras, incluindo as geleiras Explorer e Byron. Na viagem de volta, os visitantes desfrutarão de um almoço em Girdwood, uma pitoresca cidade cercada pela floresta tropical temperada mais ao norte. No geral, um passeio por Turnagain Arm, AWCC e Portage Valley é uma maneira fantástica de experimentar a beleza natural e a vida selvagem do Alasca e aprender sobre a história e a cultura desse incrível estado.
Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Vou mostrar a vocês os animais do AWCC, apontando onde muitos gostam de se esconder. Veremos caribus, alces, muskox, renas, ursos negros, ursos marrons, porcos-espinhos e bisões de madeira. Podemos ver o lince, as raposas e os coiotes. Às vezes eles estão escondidos onde você não pode encontrá-los.
Iremos para Portage Valley, lar de quatro geleiras nomeadas, e pararemos para ver a Explorer Glacier e a Byron Glacier, ambas impressionantes geleiras suspensas.
Depois de um dia agradável vendo algumas paisagens incríveis, deixe-me convidá-lo para uma refeição relaxante em Girdwood. Vamos nos sentar para uma refeição e conversar sobre o que vimos.
Aproveite nossa viagem ao longo da estrada cênica Turnagain arm, talvez tenhamos a sorte de ver baleias beluga, ovelhas Dall ou cabras da montanha. De qualquer forma, vamos gostar de ver as montanhas deslumbrantes que descem até o mar.
No caminho de volta, faremos uma parada em Potter's Marsh para apreciar como um pântano fornece habitat para uma grande variedade de animais do Alasca.

O que está incluído
Locais e horários de recolha
Descobri que se locomover em uma cidade desconhecida pode ser um aborrecimento. Meu objetivo é remover todos os aborrecimentos do seu dia. Para isso, deixe-nos buscá-lo em seu hotel. Isso pode implicar que estejamos lá até 30 minutos mais cedo para fazer isso. Antes do passeio, avisarei exatamente a que horas estarei no seu hotel.

Highly recommended. We've been on many tours and this was easily one of the best. Tour guide, Tim, is very knowledgeable and friendly. It's obvious that he loves Alaska, and loves to share it with others. He's also very accommodating. He made extra stops, as needed, and picked up and dropped off people from several different hotels including one couple that needed to be dropped off at the airport. "Dad" jokes made me smile and were a bonus. The scenery in Alaska is beautiful. It was like one post-card-like scene after another, but so much better to be there in person. One stop was at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center where we saw Brown Bear, Black Bear, Moose, Muskox, Wood Bison and a variety of other animals that were all native to Alaska. Next time we make it back to Alaska, we will take this tour again!
The tour provided an excellent overview of what the greater Anchorage area has to offer. The tour description is accurate. I loved the nature and wildlife stops particularly. We lucked out with an up-close (but safe) moose sighting, for which we made an unplanned—but much appreciated—stop at Potter Marsh. I would’ve liked more time at the AWCC, but enjoyed the time spent. The lunch took more time than expected but was very good.
Great tour with a great knowledgeable tour guy. I also got bonus in way back to Hotel, so generous
This was a great tour. Tim was funny, knowledgeable about Alaskan history and culture. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great tour. Loved the stop for lunch!! Crepes were absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend Caribou Tours. Spend the money and take this tour.

Great experience with our guide Tim. He was very personable and knowledgeable. The scenery was incredible and learning about the wildlife was amazing. The best part was our visit to Girdwood where we experienced fantastic food and conversation. Highly recommend this excursion for anyone who wants to learn about Alaska from a true resident.
Overall, a great day trip. Everything is included. Tim made the trip even better that day. Great guy.
