Anchorage Glacier and Wildlife Tour 6 hr

Follow Alaska’s scenic coastline from Anchorage to Portage Glacier on a six-hour journey through mountain, water, and wildlife country. The Anchorage Glacier and Wildlife Tour travels along the Seward Highway, where Turnagain Arm opens to sweeping views and roadside lookouts such as Beluga Point offer chances to spot wildlife. Seasonal stops at the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge add another opportunity to look for animals in their natural habitat.

Continue to Portage Lake for an approximately one-hour cruise, with views of Portage Glacier and the possibility of seeing ice calve, weather permitting. At the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, learn about wildlife rehabilitation, then head into the Chugach Mountains for panoramic views over the Anchorage bowl and beyond when conditions allow. Light snacks, bottled water, and a professional local guide are included.

The easy-paced outing still involves short walks on surfaces ranging from paved paths to uneven natural terrain. Choose the Anchorage Glacier and Wildlife Tour for a compact taste of Alaska’s landscapes, and enjoy a full day of memorable views beyond the city.
