Driver was very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. She pointed out interests on the drive and we made a few stops along the way. Even spotted a moose and a few eagles. We were allowed to spend extra time at the Wildlife Conservation Center because we were enjoying watching and taking photos of the animals. It was a good day!
It was an amazing experience. I love the small group size because the guide was able to tailor the tour for everyone’s needs. She was super knowledgeable about every aspect of the tour.
We had such a wonderful day with Brittney! We took the Ultimate Anchorage Wildlife Tour and had a full day of beautiful and informative sightseeing. From Turnagain Arm, plenty of pull-offs at beautiful picturesque places, insight into Alaska that we'd never had known otherwise, and an incredible donut break. By the time our day finished we felt like old friends. We'd recommend this experience highly. We had limited time in Anchorage, and didn't have a car, so this experience was a perfect way to see some things we would have missed otherwise, and what we saw we wouldn't wanted to have missed. Thanks for a great day! We loved our time in Alaska!
Very personalized and knowledgeable and engaging host. Went out of her way to accommodate. Highly recommend and all of the stops had wonderful views. She also knows the names of all the animals and where they like to hide. I would have missed three of them without her help.
Brittney was great. Great transportation, beautiful stops and loved all her knowledge of the animals, flowers etc.
I highly recommend this tour - Brittney is super nice and so knowledgeable. She took us to the conservation center and told us about each of the animals, and made a few stops along the way to show us special sights like dall sheep and the boric tide coming in. I know she offers other tours as well, and I would highly recommend her for a tour! She went above and beyond to make the experience amazing.
We loved our day with Brittney. She is very knowledgeable and we made stops at some very scenic viewpoints. The highlight was the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. Brittney drove us through the park and she is very familiar with the animals and had great information to share. We loved our small group tour.
Brittany, our tour guide, was terrific-providing us with insightful information about Alaska's inhabitants, culture & environment--presented in a very personable way. Be sure to book her service.
A great way for the family to see some native wildlife. My daughter was super excited about seeing the brown bears and Elks up close.
Fantastic experience. Our guide was very informative. Great tour and the wildlife conservation was amazing.
