Privat naturskön Turnagain Arm Glacier Tour från Anchorage
Beskrivning
Upplev Alaska på ditt sätt på denna helt privata och anpassningsbara tur. Njut av friheten att bestämma din egen takt, begära fotostopp och anpassa dagen efter dina intressen. Som din lokala guide och fotograf kommer jag att fånga höjdpunkterna – natursköna vyer, möten med vilda djur och uppriktiga gruppögonblick – och sedan skicka dig ett kuraterat galleri med redigerade bilder. När folk föreställer sig Alaska föreställer de sig vilda djur, höga berg och oändliga glaciärer. Turnagain Arm erbjuder allt detta – bara en kort, naturskön bilresa från Anchorage. Detta hisnande inlopp är känt för sitt massiva tidvatten, sina karga bergskulisser och det sällsynta tidvattnet, där en enda våg sveper över hela inloppet. Vi kommer att resa Seward Highway, en av Nordamerikas mest natursköna bilturer. Vägen omsluter kustlinjen och erbjuder oändliga vyer och chanser att upptäcka älgar, skalliga örnar, Dallfår och potentiellt belugavalar. Med privat transport och en flexibel resplan handlar det om att göra det mesta av det.

Resplan
Beluga Point är ett av de första natursköna stoppen längs Turnagain Arm, bara 20 minuter söder om Anchorage. Uppflugen ovanför de dramatiska tidvattensplattorna, erbjuder den panoramautsikt över de omgivande bergen och chansen att se Dallfår på klipporna och, under vissa tider på året, belugavalar som följer stim av huliganfisk genom inloppet. Det är en perfekt introduktion till den vilda skönheten i södra centrala Alaska och en favorit fotostopp för gäster.
Girdwood är en charmig bergsstad inbäddad i en frodig dal omgiven av Chugach Mountains, ca 40 minuter söder om Anchorage längs Turnagain Arm. Känd för sin pulserande konstscen, alpina natur och som hem för Alyeska Resort, är det en perfekt plats att sträcka på benen, ta en kaffe eller njuta av en måltid. Med höga granar, forsande bäckar och mysiga lokala företag, erbjuder Girdwood en lugn, småstadsatmosfär med stor Alaskan karaktär.
Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC) är en icke-vinstdrivande fristad belägen i Portage Valley, cirka 47 miles söder om Anchorage längs den natursköna Seward Highway. Inbäddat mellan Chugach Mountains och Turnagain Arm, spänner centret över 200 hektar naturlig livsmiljö tillägnad vård och bevarande av Alaskas inhemska djurliv. Besökare kan observera en mängd olika djur, inklusive brun- och svartbjörnar, älgar, träbisonoxar, myskoxar, vargar, lodjur, caribou och skalliga örnar. Många av dessa djur är räddade — skadade eller föräldralösa — och fungerar nu som ambassadörer för sin art . Centret erbjuder en 1,5 miles slinga tillgänglig till fots, cykel eller bil, vilket ger möjligheter att se djur i rymliga, naturalistiska inhägnader. Som ett viktigt stopp på turnén Turnagain Arm kombinerar AWCC naturskådning med hisnande landskap, vilket gör det till en minnesvärd höjdpunkt i alla Alaska-äventyr.
Portage Valley, som ligger i Chugach National Forest, är en glaciärskuren korridor rik på naturlig skönhet och en av södra centrala Alaskas mest tillgängliga platser för glaciärskådning. Bara en kort bilresa från Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, är denna fantastiska dal omgiven av höga toppar och flera hängande glaciärer, inklusive Explorer, Middle och Byron Glaciers. The Begich, Boggs Visitor Center erbjuder interaktiva utställningar om glaciologi och lokala ekosystem, medan närliggande stigar som Byron Glacier Trail ger en enkel vandring till vyer över glaciäris på nära håll. Det är ett måste för den som vill fördjupa sig i Alaskas vilda, isiga landskap.

I booked directly with Shane and the whole experience was lovely. We were a group of 11 people including 2 senior citizens and four kids under 10. Shane was responsive on phone and text prior to leaving and was very punctual. He had a calm and knowledgeable demeanor and the van was the perfect size for our group. He drove carefully and had so much information, history, facts to share with the adults and kids. We started at 8:30am and ended at 1:30 and were able to spend tons of time at the wildlife conservation center which the kids loved so much. I would recommend Shane for all your Anchorage sightseeing needs.
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!
