About this activity

If getting an up-close look at Alaska’s iconic animals in a natural sanctuary setting is high on your list, this tour is an absolute must. Built around a one-hour visit to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, it offers one of the best ways to see Alaska’s wildlife safely and comfortably in a half-day adventure.

Enjoy a spectacular drive from Anchorage along the legendary Turnagain Arm, where mountain and ocean views set the tone. At the Conservation Center, explore spacious habitats home to brown bears, wolves, moose, musk ox, caribou, and the massive Woodland Bison.

The journey continues into beautiful Portage Valley, featuring braided rivers, lush forest, and towering peaks. Look up to spot hanging glaciers clinging to the mountainsides, a true highlight and photo favorite.

Wildlife, glaciers, and classic Alaska scenery—all in one tour. Shop, compare, and choose the experience that delivers the most value and memories
