Private Scenic Turnagain Arm Glacier Tour from Anchorage

6 hoursFree Cancellation

Price varies by group size

This is an amazing way to be guaranteed to see many of Alaska's most sought after wildlife in a safe and animal friendly park! The bears are adorable, but trust me, seeing a bear in the wild can be a pretty intimidating. Much of Alaska's wildlife you will never see and even the moose, which are super common, visitors can go days or even weeks without seeing one and sometimes you'll see a few in any given day but visiting Alaska's Wildlife Conservation Center guarantees you'll see these animals and so many more! Licensed by Alaska's Transportation Department, this is for 3 - 10 people because of the way the Viator commissions and Park fees work, if you are just one or two people you can still book the tour but I need to charge for 3 - 10 people to make it feasible, if that makes sense.

The tour was amazing. Our...

The tour was amazing. Our driver Patrick was informative and made it a smooth ride to the glacier. Once there we switched over to Peter who took us on the hike which was incredible. Worth every Penny. The tour ends later than advertised on Viator (Not the tour companies fault 😬), anticipate to get back around 5pm.

Our guide was terrific

Gary was our guide and he really knows his stuff! The wildlife conservation center was interesting and I’m glad I got to see bears and moose. Plus Gary gave us some restaurant recs and we went to one last night. It was very good. We had walked by it several times and wouldn’t have tried it if Gary hadn’t said it was good

Guide Melissa was excellent

Melissa was an excellent guide. Native Alaskan. Very friendly, upbeat, knowledgeable and helpful. 14 in our van was a nice size. Total of 8 points of interest. Allowed to get off at 5 I think. Time at each stop was about 10 - 20 minutes which was just right.

Alaska Railroad Anchorage to Seward One Way

Coastal Train Anchorage to Seward

Definitely show up an hour early to check your bags and make sure you are ready to board. Service was quick all the way from checking bags to getting my printed ticket. There's a gift shop and coffee joint inside, once you board there is assigned seating, if you're on a budget the Adventure Class is good but if you want the better experience then the GoldStar is the way to go. Overall guides were knowledgeable about the route and the things to see, it was a great experience! Would recommend this to anyone! Can't wait to take different routes and explore the rest of Alaska Railroad.

Wildlife and Glaciers with a walk in the Rainforest

Elizabeth_S, Aug 2026

Great start to our Alaska adventure

What a wonderful way to start our time in Alaska. Brooks was our guide and provided lots of history and entertaining stories that put everything we were seeing in great context. One cautionary point, which wasn’t an issue for us but could be for others, the walk in the rainforest was about 1.4 miles each way— walking on the snow made it worthwhile though!

Anchorage City Tour, w/Choc Factory Samplings

Arkette_M, Aug 2026

Great Tour

Our tour guide was named Joan. She is a native Alaskan born and raised in Anchorage so she was very familiar with the history of the area. She lives off grid and provided lots of information on that lifestyle as well. She took us to several interesting shops where we had time for souvenir shopping. Very happy with our tour!

5 stars so special !

I rarely write reviews, but this experience touched my heart so much that I couldn’t not share it. What an absolutely extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime Alaskan adventure! From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by people who were genuinely kind, welcoming, professional, and full of positive energy. Every person we encountered went above and beyond, and it made an already incredible experience feel truly magical. Ashley was our driver, and we absolutely loved having her with us. She was so knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely wonderful to spend time with. She made us feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. Sam was our pilot, and I have to admit, I was nervous! But he was absolutely fantastic. He made the flight feel smooth, safe, and so much fun. I’ll never forget looking out at the breathtaking Alaskan scenery and realizing I was actually experiencing something I had only dreamed about. And then there was Maddie, our dog sled musher. She was AMAZING! She was so cool, so knowledgeable, and such a perfect match for us. We loved her energy and her personality, and you could truly feel the love she has for what she does. Learning from her and experiencing the dogs up close was something I will carry with me for a very long time. Honestly, the scenery was breathtaking, the adventure was unforgettable, and the entire experience was incredible—but it was the PEOPLE who made it truly special. Ashley, Sam, Maddie, and everyone behind the scenes: thank you for putting so much heart into what you do. You gave us memories that we will talk about for years to come. ❤️ If you are considering this excursion, DO IT! You get so much more than you think you’re getting. You get an experience filled with adventure, beauty, kindness, laughter, and people who genuinely care about making your day unforgettable. Absolutely 5 stars!

Alaska Wildlife Day Tour with Free Hotel Pickup

Karen_S, Aug 2026

Perfect Timing

This was a great half day tour that provided an overview of the natural landscape and Turnagain Arm and just the right amount of time at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. Our guide Rina was friendly, knowledgeable, and super flexible for photo stops and logistics. The hotel pickup was a big plus and Rina was very communicative on arrival times to minimize waiting. If you only have a short time in Anchorage, or want to fit in a tour before an evening flight or after a red eye while you’re waiting for your room to be ready, this is perfect.

Alaska Helicopter Tour with Glacier Landing - 60 mins - ANCHORAGE AREA

Richard_F, Aug 2026

An Unforgettable Glacier Adventure

Alaska Helicopter Tours delivered a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. They picked us up right at our Anchorage hotel for the easy hour-long drive to the launch point, and the whole team was friendly and accommodating from start to finish. The flight out to Knik Glacier was thrilling — breathtaking views and an exceptionally smooth ride. Our pilot, Jake, was professional throughout and made sure we felt well cared for the entire time. Standing on the glacier itself was humbling. Walking on thousand-year-old ice and taking in the sheer scale of this 25-mile glacier left us in awe, and the crystal-blue meltwater streams were incredible to see up close. The return flight brought its own magic — we spotted a black bear, three moose in separate waterholes, and two white mountain goats along the way. This was an experience and a set of memories we'll carry with us for a lifetime.

Best Tour Director

Our excursion was a lot of fun Dan with White Raven was awesome, you have heard the saying when you’re delt lemons in life make lemonade. That’s exactly what Dan did made the experience great with the heavy rain we were experiencing we saw lots of bears , a wild moose on the roadside. He didn’t want us to be disappointed bc of the weather and added a little bonus of stopping at the chocolate shop.

So Fun and Beautiful

This bike tour was incredible ! We went with Cory and Jeremiah and they both were great. Cory was our guide on the trails and was amazing. The timing was perfect because we got to see beautiful yellow leaves, plus multiple moose. Cory ensured we remain at a safe distance from them. There were a few stops along the ride. This is a great tour if you haven't cycled in a long time.
