Whittier Scenic Wildlife Tour

Turn your cruise arrival into an Alaska sightseeing adventure on this Whittier scenic wildlife tour. Rather than heading straight to Anchorage, follow the spectacular Turnagain Arm Scenic Byway, where coastal landscapes and mountain views set the scene for the day.

Visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center to see bears, moose, and other iconic wildlife, then enjoy free time in Girdwood, a mountain town framed by dramatic scenery. Along the way, pause for scenic photos and admire glaciers and the rugged coastline. A stop at Beluga Point offers a chance to look for seasonal wildlife. Before reaching downtown Anchorage, take in views of Cook Inlet, Earthquake Park, and Lake Hood Seaplane Base.

With an air-conditioned vehicle and entrance fee included, this Whittier scenic wildlife tour makes the journey from port part of the experience. Meet near the cruise terminal pickup area and look for the white Ford Transit van; exact pickup details arrive before departure. Choose this scenic route to make more of your first day in Alaska.
