Private Scenic Turnagain Arm Glacier Tour saindo de Anchorage
Descrição
Experimente o Alasca seu caminho nesta excursão totalmente privada e personalizável. Desfrute da liberdade de definir seu próprio ritmo, solicitar paradas de fotos e personalizar o dia para atender aos seus interesses. Como seu guia local e fotógrafo, vou capturar os destaques - vistas escénicas, encontros com animais selvagens e momentos de grupo francos - e enviar-lhe uma galeria curada de fotos editadas. Quando as pessoas imaginam o Alasca, elas imaginam animais selvagens, montanhas elevadas e geleiras sem fim. O Turnagain Arm oferece tudo isso – apenas uma curta viagem panorâmica de Anchorage. Esta entrada deslumbrante é famosa por suas marés maciças, fundos de montanhas ásperas e a maré rara, onde uma única onda varre toda a entrada. Vamos percorrer a Seward Highway, uma das viagens mais paisagistas da América do Norte. A estrada abraça a costa, oferecendo vistas infinitas e oportunidades de detectar elfos, águas calvas, ovelhas Dall e potencialmente baleias belugas. Com transporte privado e um itinerário flexível, trata-se de tirar o máximo proveito.
Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Beluga Point é uma das primeiras paragens pitorescas ao longo do Turnagain Arm, apenas 20 minutos a sul de Anchorage. Perpendicular acima das dramáticas placas de maré, oferece vistas panorâmicas das montanhas circundantes e a oportunidade de observar ovelhas Dall nas falésias e, durante certas épocas do ano, baleias belugas seguem escolas de peixes hooligan através da entrada. É uma introdução perfeita à beleza selvagem do sul-central do Alasca e uma parada de fotos favorita para os hóspedes.
Girdwood é uma encantadora cidade montanhosa em um vale exuberante cercado pelas montanhas Chugach, cerca de 40 minutos a sul de Anchorage ao longo do Turnagain Arm. Conhecida por sua vibrante cena artística, paisagens alpinas e como casa para Alyeska Resort, é um lugar perfeito para esticar as pernas, tomar um café ou desfrutar de uma refeição. Com árvores de abóbora elevadas, riachos em cascata e negócios locais acolhedores, Girdwood oferece uma atmosfera de pequena cidade tranquila com grande caráter alasca.
O Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC) é um santuário sem fins lucrativos localizado no Vale de Portage, cerca de 47 milhas ao sul de Anchorage ao longo da paisagista Seward Highway. Situado entre as Montanhas Chugach e o Arm Turnagain, o centro abrange mais de 200 acres de habitat natural dedicado ao cuidado e conservação da vida selvagem nativa do Alasca. Os visitantes podem observar uma variedade de animais, incluindo ursos castanhos e pretos, elfos, bisões de madeira, muscoxins, lobos, linces, caribou e águas calvas. Muitos desses animais são resgatados - feridos ou órfãos - e agora servem como embaixadores para sua espécie . O centro oferece um buquê de 1,5 milhas acessível a pé, de bicicleta ou de carro, proporcionando oportunidades para ver animais em recintos espaçosos e naturalistas. Como uma parada-chave na turnê Turnagain Arm, o AWCC combina observação de vida selvagem com paisagens deslumbrantes, tornando-se um destaque memorável de qualquer aventura no Alasca.
Portage Valley, localizado dentro da Floresta Nacional de Chugach, é um corredor esculpido de gelo rico em beleza natural e um dos lugares mais acessíveis do sul-central do Alasca para ver glaciares. A apenas uma curta distância de carro do Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, este deslumbrante vale é cercado por picos elevados e vários glaciares pendurados, incluindo Explorer, Middle e Byron Glaciers. O Begich, Boggs Visitor Center oferece exposições interativas sobre glaciologia e ecossistemas locais, enquanto trilhas próximas como o Byron Glacier Trail fornecem uma caminhada fácil para vistas de gelo glacial de perto. É uma parada imperdível para quem quer mergulhar nas paisagens selvagens e geladas do Alasca.

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!
This was one of the most enjoyable tours I have taken! Shane was a wonderful guide who was so knowledgeable about the area. Shane was able to customize the excursion to suit my mother who uses a walker and we felt so spoiled and taken care of the ENTIRE TIME! This was so much better than previous experiences on big group tours because we could take our time and adjust stops, and felt luxurious and more personal. We enjoyed it so much we even booked a different tour to Hatcher pass for an additional day and that also exceeded our expectations. His photography skills really allowed us to be in the moment and have the ideal photos to take home as well!
