Gotta see some animals, including brown bears, even in the winter. The glaciers were amazing, and our guide Hunter was really friendly and taught us many interesting facts.

A lot of beautiful photo stops on our way to the wildlife conservation center. Was super icy and cloudy on the morning but got much more sun in the afternoon and the view was even more amazing. Our guide Philip was a great driver!

Our guide was Holly, and she was amazing! I had the tour with my mom and two aunties who were visiting me from S.Korea. They were kept saying that Holly is sweet and friendly. Also Holly is very knowledgeable and informative about the Alaska and Anchorage. It was very blessed time for me and my family. Thank you Holly!

Our guide Holly was awesome! She was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and I learned so much about Alaska’s wildlife through her explanations. The visit to the conservation center was a lot of fun, and I was especially excited to see the adorable bison jumping around! I would highly recommend this trip, especially if you don’t plan to rent a car during your time in Anchorage.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience on this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Alaska. Our guide, Holly, was truly exceptional- she brought such warm, positive energy to the day, was incredibly knowledgeable, and showed so much kindness throughout the entire trip. We were amazed by how much wildlife we were able to see, and Holly made the experience even more memorable by navigating the area beautifully and taking us to all the best spots. As first-time visitors to Alaska, we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. This tour exceeded our expectations in every way, and Holly was a huge part of what made it so special.

We had a great day out with Philip. There was only 3 of us on the tour, so we were able to be bit flexible in regard to time spent. Most of the time was spend the Alaskan Conservation Centre where we saw lots of Alaskan wildlife up close. Philip explain lots about the local wildlife we were seeing and also the surrounding areas. Philip also gave us some great advice on what to do on our other days and what the driving conditions may be like

I’m glad I joined this tour. Our guide Hunter was really good! He was fun, knowledgeable and nice. He taught us how to take good selfies and waterfalls, which was helpful! We were able to see the beautiful mountains and animals up close. Walking in the rain was memorable, too. The tour begin not too early and ends not too late so that we were able to have dinner when we returned. I would recommend this tour when you have a day in Anchorage.
