From Anchorage: Alaska Wildlife Center & Turnagain Arm Tour – Anchorage, Alaska

EXPERIENCE

Board a Turnagain Arm Shuttle from Anchorage for a guided drive along Alaska s scenic highway, taking in dramatic views of mountains and the Cook Inlet. Head directly to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, and join them in their mission to provide refuge for orphaned, injured, and ill animals.

On the way to the wildlife center, pass through the Chugach State Park down Alaska s most scenic stretch of highway. Start your visit to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center with a custom tour of Turnagain Arm, witnessing native wildlife up close.

Stop at Beluga Point for sweeping views of Turnagain Arm. Make offerings to the Sheep and Whale Gods for possible opportunities to see Dall sheep and Beluga whales passing through. Your guides will do their best to sync you up for a once-in-a-lifetime rendezvous with these enchanted creatures.

At Portage Valley, see Explorer Glacier, Middle Glacier, and Byron Glacier and take a walk through a rainforest. Continue to Potter Marsh, peppered by spruce, cottonwoods, and alder trees, for a nearly panoramic view of Turnagain arm.
