Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center och Turnagain Arm Tour
Beskrivning
Upplev Alaskas vilda sida på denna oförglömliga vinterresa längs den natursköna Turnagain Arm, där höga berg, frusna vattenfall och snötäckta stränder skapar en hisnande bakgrund. En höjdpunkt på turen är ett besök på det 140 hektar stora Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, en plats som är så imponerande att den lämnar även långvariga Alaskabor i vördnad. Centret erbjuder en fristad för föräldralösa, skadade och sjuka djur som inte längre kan överleva i det vilda, samtidigt som det inspirerar gäster genom utbildning och bevarande. Promenera längs rymliga livsmiljöer och observera ikoniska Alaska djurliv - såsom älg, bisonoxar, myskoxar och björnar - som lever i naturliga omgivningar. Vinterns friska luft och mjuka ljus skapar exceptionella utsikts- och fotograferingsmöjligheter, vilket gör denna tur perfekt för naturälskare och fotografer som är ivriga att fånga Alaska när det är som mest dramatiskt. Längs vägen delar din Guide med sig av lokala berättelser, fakta om vilda djur och dolda vyer som väcker Alaskas vinterlandskap till liv.

Resplan
På Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center är besökare fria att utforska över 140 tunnland naturliga livsmiljöer där björnar, älgar, renar, lodjur och annat inhemskt djurliv finns.
Poängen är ett definitivt måste stoppa plats eftersom vyerna är spektakulära! Beluga Point, en stenig utpost som sticker ut i Turnagain Arms vatten, ligger strax söder om Anchorage längs Seward Highway. Den är uppkallad efter de vita valarna som ofta ses från denna plats när de tar sig upp och ner i inloppet. Belugas ses ofta mellan juli och augusti.
Alaskas Turnagain Arm på Seward Highway är bland dem som röstats fram som ett av landets mest oförglömliga, måste se områden i Alaska. MÅNGA HAR SAGT ATT OM DU MISSAR ATT BESÖKA SEVÄRDIGHETER LÄNGS TURNAGAIN ARM- - HAR DU MISSAT ALASKA!
Portage Valley är en 14 mil lång näs som förbinder Kenai Peninsula med fastlandet Alaska. Portage Glacier sträckte sig en gång i hela dalens längd. De glaciala resterna som ses idag är glaciärerna Explorer, Middle, Byron, Burns och Shakespeare. Även om de fortfarande är enorma i storlek, står dessa glaciärer som mindre påminnelser om de enorma inlandsisar som en gång täckte detta landskap.

Lots of good local information and wonderful views of the area. Glad we did the conservation center to see the animals in case we don’t get another chance to see the wildlife. Thanks Brooks!
Gary was our guide and he really knows his stuff! The wildlife conservation center was interesting and I’m glad I got to see bears and moose. Plus Gary gave us some restaurant recs and we went to one last night. It was very good. We had walked by it several times and wouldn’t have tried it if Gary hadn’t said it was good
The tour is full of scenic landscape, mountains, rivers and lakes. We made several stops, two of my favorites were the Wildlife Conservation center and Explorer Glacier and Lake. The animals at the conservation center were viewable in a natural habitat like setting.
It was great to have guaranteed animal sightings. And additionally a safe way for a whole family to view animals.
Had a great experience at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation center tour with Rezy. Rezy was very knowledgeable and accommodating and a wonderful guide for the afternoon! Rezy also pointed out some interesting and beautiful areas that were a bonus for our tour!
Had a great tour with Melissa. She provided a lot of interesting commentary about Alaska history, nature, and culture. We especially enjoyed learning about her Alaskan heritage and subsistence foraging, fishing, and hunting. The scenery en route to the wildlife conservation center was breathtaking, and the weather was perfect to catch many of the animals out in the sun at the conservation center. Loved, loved, loved watching the bears play in the snow. It was a huge treat to get a close up view of the bears, the moose, musk ox, and the Canadian lynx. Visitors should be aware that there are some things you can’t see in winter (mainly, the beluga whales), but the trade-off is getting to see mountains covered in snow.
It was in March and part of my trip experience going to the Iditarod. The pluses were the tour guide gave us a few unscheduled stops (Wild Berry Farm 👍) and had time to drop us off at our hotel. That was very much appreciated. We saw a Dall sheep on the mountain and he stopped and turned around so we could get out of the van for photos. Loved that! You definitely need to be agile and a good walker to see the Wildlife Conservation area in freezing icy, snowy weather. Luckily at 76 years old I could do it. I think the best time to see all the animals (bears, etc which we didn’t) would be in warmer weather. We saw wolves, musk ox, reindeer and moose.
Terrible communication but the tour itself was fine. There was no information provided by the tour company prior to the tour. I tried to contact them on viator and on the phone to understand the finishing time, but received no response at all. This was frustrating and I had to reach out to Viator to check if the tour provider was still active on the site. The tour itself was great. Our guide, Melissa, was amazing and shared a wealth of information with us about the state, the way of life of the local people, about wildlife. The wildlife conservation centre was really cool, and the views to and from there were absolutely stunning.
We’re so sorry you had this problem and truly apologize for the frustration you experienced with communication prior to your tour. We do provide all the necessary information in our tour description as well as in the confirmation sent after purchase. With the high volume of messages we receive each day (often over a hundred), messages sent through Viator can occasionally get lost or filtered into spam. While that’s never our intention, we completely understand how frustrating that must have been. For the quickest response, it’s always best to contact us directly via our email or by calling us, as we monitor those channels closely throughout the day. You can also call Viator and have them contact us directly on your behalf, which is another very effective way to reach us quickly. That said, we’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour itself! Melissa will be thrilled to know her knowledge and passion made such a positive impact. We’re also glad you loved the wildlife conservation centre and the stunning views along the way. Thank you for your honest feedback — it truly helps us improve.
A beautiful day and drive to explore the beauty outside of Anchorage. Finally got to see some of the Alaskan Wildlife up close. Melissa was a great and knowledgeable guide. Very much enjoyed her sharing her local knowledge
