It’s an awesome tour! The views were absolutely beautiful. Our guide Scott was very knowledgeable, friendly and funny, he made our tour the best. Wear or take warm clothes as it gets very chilly on the boat.
I booked this excursion because of the boat cruise to a glacier. It was scheduled for at lease one hour cruise. Upon arrival, the driver found out that the cruise was cancelled. The winds were strong, the water was choppy with white caps. A fog covered the lake. Rina our driver /guide took us to the visitor center and a general store where I had salmon chowder. Making lemonade from lemons. We spent more time at an Animal rehab sanctuary. There was a Blueberry Festival and we make an unscheduled stop. The festival was very nice. Rina has a bubbly personality and very informative with facts and figures. She is able to think quickly on her feet.
Tony was an excellent tour guide! Very accommodating to all guests and had some great stories to tell!
Great tour, great experience, great way to see some of Alaska. Alaska has a lot of beautiful scenery to see.
We had a great day. Scott did a great job answering all our questions and giving us a nice history lesson and information about the area. The Portage glacier was beautiful - we got a close up view of the glacier and the waterfalls.
Tony was a great tour guide. He was entertaining and very informative. He made the tour seamless and enjoyable.
The tour was awesome! We saw several parks and landmarks! Portage Glacier boat ride was beautiful! The wildlife park had many animals like bison, bears, muskox, deers, and a white wolf. Our tour guide Tucker was very knowledgeable and informative!
All around fun day hitting the highlights in Anchorage, glacier cruise and wildlife rescue center. Amazing sights!
Great tour with Scott. He is very knowledgeable about all things Alaska and both the portage glacier and alaskan conservation center were interesting and the glacier lake is beautiful! I would highly recommend. Pickup and dropoff were super easy as well.
Our guide, Tony, provided details re Alaska and life in Alaska. Boat on Portage lake provided close uy view of glacier. Tony took us on a side trip to trail head of Ididitrod race.
