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.

What are people saying about Anchorage

Cindy_B, Aug 2026

Anchorage City Tour

Dave, our tour guide and driver was amazing. He was very prompt..arrived well before our appointed time. He proceeded to share with us his vast knowledge and love of the great city of Anchorage. His friendly manner and personality added to our enjoyment of the tour. We were brought to 4 interesting sites and were allowed to disembark while Dave explained the significance of the area. We especially enjoyed the magnificent views we had from Flattop Mountain, which allowed us to take some beautiful pictures. Dave is an amazing tour guide and I would highly recommend him and Viator for anyone who would love to learn more about Anchorage and its beauty. We’d like to thank Dave and Viator for providing this outstanding tour. Sincerely, Cindy Burns

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.

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!

Alaska Helicopter and Glacier Dogsled Tour - ANCHORAGE AREA

Jennifer_S, Aug 2026

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!

This was a great way to explore Anchorage and surrounding sites on our first day in Alaska. Our guide Riley was on time, very informative and kept all guests engaged. The van was clean and fully stocked with snacks and water. We enjoyed food at our lunch stop during the tour. If you are new to the area, this tour is a great option to explore and learn with local guides. Weather changed a few times during tour and our guide adjusted the stops accordingly.

Great trip to the glacier! Our driver Patrick was so knowledgeable and gave us great advice. He even helped us set up our cell phone cameras for the best pictures. You get a little over 2 hours to hike around the glacier with a local guide. Our guide Sophie was excellent. This was a great way to fill up a day either pre or post-cruise if you are staying in Anchorage.

Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center & Turnagain Arm Tour

MERRILL_S, Mar 2026

Wild & Fun

It was in March and part of my trip experience going to the Iditarod. The pluses were the tour guide gave us a few unscheduled stops (Wild Berry Farm 👍) and had time to drop us off at our hotel. That was very much appreciated. We saw a Dall sheep on the mountain and he stopped and turned around so we could get out of the van for photos. Loved that! You definitely need to be agile and a good walker to see the Wildlife Conservation area in freezing icy, snowy weather. Luckily at 76 years old I could do it. I think the best time to see all the animals (bears, etc which we didn’t) would be in warmer weather. We saw wolves, musk ox, reindeer and moose.

Saloni_S, Sept 2025

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.

Alaska Wildlife Day Tour with Free Hotel Pickup

Bridget_W, Sept 2025

What a day!

Hotel pick up and return was a huge bonus. Our guide, Billy learned our names and helped us get the very best out of the day with his knowledge of the areas we visited. The Portage glacier boat tour rocked with plenty of photo ops. The trip to the AWCC was made even better with Billy's ability to lead us to the best viewing of the animals because he was so familiar with the site. I highly recommend this tour experience and commend Billy for an amazing day.
