Turnagain Arm och Portage Valley Private Tour
Beskrivning
Utforska den vackra Turnagain Arm och Portage Valley med en privat och lokal guide. Från Anchorage åker vi längs den natursköna Seward Highway. En av endast 13 motorvägar i USA med utmärkelsen "All American Road". Längs vägen kommer vi att ha stora möjligheter att se och fotografera vilda djur och natursköna vyer. Först stannar vi till vid vackra Hotel Alyeska och skidstaden Girdwood. Ta en valfri naturskön spårvagn till toppen av Mt Alyeska för lunch med utsikt. Nästa stopp Portage, där du går ombord på mv Ptarmigan för en valfri en timmes kryssning över det fantastiska landskapet av isbergsprickade Portage Lake. Efter kryssningen, stanna till vid Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, en ideell organisation som är dedikerad till att bevara Alaskas vilda djur. Efteråt, gå tillbaka till Anchorage och njut av en berättad stadsrundtur inklusive alla de bästa matställena.

Portage Glaciär
Seward
Därefter kan du njuta av sevärdheterna längs den ojämförliga Turnagain Arm, en fantastiskt vacker del av Alaska som är hem för en myriad av vilda djur, inklusive Dall-får, bergsgetter, boose, vitvalar, svartbjörnar och flyttfågelarter.
Girdwood är en semesterort i den södra delen av kommunen Anchorage. Beläget nära slutet av Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet, ligger Girdwood i en dal i sydvästra Chugachbergen, omgiven av sju glaciärer som matar in i ett antal bäckar, som antingen konvergerar i dalen eller mynnar direkt i armen.
Alyeska flygspårvagn
Potter Marsh, i södra änden av Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge, är en idealisk paus från Anchorage för fågelskådare och andra djurlivsbeskådare. Från Seward Highway strax före vänstersvängen in på Potter Marsh-parkeringen bjuds du på en fantastisk utsikt över Turnagain Arm. En träpromenad slingrar sig 1 550 fot från parkeringsområdet genom kärret och över vattniga öppningar och svall, perfekt livsmiljö för ett rikt utbud av fåglar. Från slutet av april till september använder kanadagäss, nordliga trollsvansar, canvasback ankor, rödhalsade falaropes, horn- och rödhalsade doppingar och nordliga harrier denna våtmark. Leta efter örnbon i bomullsskogen nära basen av bluffen med hjälp av en kikare eller en kikare.

Beluga Point Site är en arkeologisk plats längs Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet. Den lades till i National Register of Historic Places den 30 mars 1978. Artefakter från området är bevis på tidig mänsklig boning. Beluga Point North 1 (BPN1) artefakter är 8 000–10 000 år gamla och tros vara bevis på den äldsta bosättningen i Anchorage kommun. Beluga Point är också ett område för vilda djur. Vitvalar kan ses säsongsvis från juli till augusti när hundratals av valarna besöker Cook Inlet för att livnära sig på Stillahavslaxen.
AWCC tar emot skadade och föräldralösa djur året runt, vilket ger rymliga inhägnader och kvalitetsvård av djur. Här kan du se och fotografera på nära håll Alaskas ikoniska djur som inte kan släppas ut i naturen.

Other than a hiccup with the dining at the top of the tram not being available, we had a great day on Turnagain Arm. Dawn was a wonderful guide--offered good information along the way but also was sensitive to our need for "quiet time" as we were tired from two weeks of traveling in Alaska. Good balance overall, and a gorgeous day to see Portage Glacier!
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a nice note! We will make sure to pass this along to Dawn as well!
Eight hours in Anchorage? It’s a “must do”….with Mike!!? The man was the perfect guide for this trip.
Thank you for the nod to our guide Mike. He is a top guide in our group of Alaskans who serve as our knowledgeable and very fun tour leaders. Our staff is clever and accommodating for our Anchorage Tour and our Turnagain Arm Tour, as well as all the other tours we provide to visitors.
We had an incredible day on this tour with our guide John. He was very knowledgeable friendly and provided great insight. He also had a lot of good suggestions for additional experiences while we’re in Alaska that we hope to do on a future trip.
Hi there, Thank you for your wonderful review! We are glad you enjoyed your Anchorage City Tour with John. Next time you are in Alaska give us a ring, we have so many incredible things to show you across the state! Cheers,
Did the Turnagain Arm Tour and had a blast with our guide, John! We was both engaging and informative. Loved the first hand knowledge he shared with us. We lucked out with a GORGEOUS day and got some awesome pictures! Only downside was trying to get lunch at the top of the tram at Alyeska, but that was on us for choosing to go that way. Warning for others... it was over an hour wait for food and seating was a nightmare. John, however, was great and so patient while waiting for us. We ended up just switching the food to go and ate in the bus. Thank you John for our outstanding experience!!!!
We had to change our plans at the last minute. I called GLA at 9am and by 10:30am we were on our tour. John was terrific. The experience was professional and fun!
So glad you enjoyed your tour, and we were able to help you fill your day last minute!
I can't say enough about planning Alaskan excursions with Steve at Greatland Adventures. My husband and I visited Alaska for the first time August 6-15, 2019. We were looking for multiple excursions in both Anchorage and Seward and were interested in smaller group type of activities as I wanted to photograph and video the experiences which is hard to do with a lot of people. Steve worked with me to provide what he could through his company, but ALSO worked with other tour operators to plan the perfect trip. The Turnagain Arm tour was AMAZING! We had a wonderful driver Orion who took us to the Alyeska resort, the Wildlife Conservation Center, and a Portage Glacier Cruise. I was able to get some amazing images of the beautiful vistas and local wildlife. Orion also provided us with historical information about Alaska along the way. Steve helped me to find the right hotels prior to our trip. He worked with 4 other tour operators to get us on an ATV tour, a helicopter and dogsledding tour, a whale watching tour, and a zip lining tour. This company is terrific and our trip would not have been what it was without the help of Steve and his wonderful staff!! WE CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!
Thank you so very much for your kind words! We do our absolute best to provide first class customer service to all our guests, from inquiry, booking, tour operations, and on to the follow up! We are so glad Steve was able to accommodate you in all aspects of your Alaskan vacation, and Orion showed you a truly memorable time on the Turnagain Arm! Best Regards, Rochelle
Our family of eight including two children took this tour today. Steve was our guide and he was friendly and informative. We took the tram ride up Mt. Alyeska and then on to the Portage Lake and Glacier tour. We finished up with a visit to the Wildlife Conservation Center. A wonderful and memorable day. Thanks Steve!
I had a great time with your group! Thank you for sharing your experience with others.
Absolutely fantastic trip today to Turnagain Arm and Portage Valley. Our guide Vern was knowledgeable and friendly, with a story for every occasion. All aspects of our day from initial booking to return home were professional and hassle free. Our group of 8 all loved it and will recommend this company for years to come. Thanks Greatland Adventures - Aussie 8
Thank you Jenny S! Vern mentioned that he had a really great time with your group. We are glad that you enjoyed the tour and the personalized service that a private tour provides. We really hope you can come back and have some more fun with us in the future. Cheers.
