We had an absolutely wonderful experience! Holly was amazing — incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and such a joy to spend the day with. She made our very first trip to Alaska unforgettable, guiding us to stunning sights and sharing stories and insights along the way. She even captured beautiful photos of our adventure! If you’re looking for a tour that combines breathtaking scenery with a personable, well-informed guide, we highly recommend choosing Holly. She truly made our day exceptional! 🌟

An amazing time spent with family while in Anchorage. We loved our travel guide Patrick. While admiring nature and the animals around Anchorage we learned so much. Learning about the history was fascinating, as this was our first time in Alaska. We are cherishing this trip and the fantastic memories. Thank you Patrick for making it so memorable.

This was a wonderful tour and I would highly recommend it. Communication with the tour company has been outstanding and everything is very professionally run. Our tour guide Patrick was engaging, knowledgeable, funny, and seemed to truly care about our experience. If you have a day to get out of Anchorage this is definitely a great way to spend your time.

This was an absolutely wonderful tour with Holly. She is full of stories and facts about Alaska, Alaska, wilderness conservation center, glaciers, and everything up the Turnagain Arm. We had a wonderful trip and saw places in Alaska that most tourist will never see. Thanks to Holly for such a wonderful tour.

Cerisa was such a charming and wonderful guide! She was very knowledgeable, and I could truly feel her love and respect for Alaska. She was also kind and nice to me, even though my English is not very good.

A bit chaotic and unorganized! The scenery was great though! Felt like for the money spent there could have been more bang for our buck!!

Only if you love the zoo very much and are ready to go by minivan to see several animals (bison, bear, elk, caribou, wolf, and fox) for 2-hr back and forth. A tour guide was knowledgeable but answered questions and took pictures of the animals for himself mostly.
