Description
Our glacier tours from Anchorage start southeast along the Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet. We often see Dall Sheep, mountain goats, moose, beluga whales, bald eagles, both black and brown bears, and, at times, other wildlife along the way.
This day trip includes a tour of the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, where you’ll see various Alaska wildlife. We’ll then travel to Portage Valley, the isthmus that connects the mainland of Southcentral Alaska with the Kenai Peninsula.
Portage Valley is home to multiple glaciers near Anchorage, which are visible on our journey.
