Our guide did a great job explaining about Alaska, the animal we would see at wildlife center and in the wild on our way to the center.

We saw the Alaskan Big Five - the animals were healthy, the naturalists were helpful. Scott was our guide and driver / a smooth well run excursion

Scott was fabulous. We stopped and watched the surfers utilise the bore tide in the Cook Inlet...amazing!!!
Knowledgeable and keen to share ideas and info.
Loved it

The trip out to the Wildlife Conservation center was as amazing as our time there! Our guide had lots of great information about the area and took the time to have an incredible experience. Hotel pick up was a huge perk too!
Russell_P, Jun 2026
The drive along Seward Highway is beautiful. The conservation area was shabby and looked rundown. I’m not sure how to fix this, but something needs to be done to enhance the experience. We were hoping for a hiking trail and more animals is a more natural environment.
Susan_M, Jun 2026
Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the animal! Very friendly! We enjoyed the excursion
Somer_O, Jun 2026
Scenery was outstanding. Were able to see eagles, bears, and other wildlife outside of the animal reserve. Also got to experience the extreme changes in temperature in a short period of time.

The tour starts in Anchorage they will pick you up at the hotel. You will travel down the Seward Hwy to get to the Wildlife center. They make stops on the hwy for photos. They stop throughout the Wildlife center to see the animals. It's Alaska you going to need to wear boots.

Easy hotel pickup and knowledgeable tour guide of the coastal area of Anchorage Alaska! Lori was great and loved the Alaskan Conservation Center
Larry_B, May 2026
Prepare for cold and rain, wear proper shoes for this. Conservation Center was a lot of mud. Amazing views and guide very knowledgeable.
Sheila_R, May 2026
Tour is great. Easy day at the wildlife center and at scenic spots. Also got to see a bit of downtown. when picking up guests. Lori is awesome!
Kathy_B, Sep 2025
Lori is very knowledgeable about the animal conservation center and the area covered in travel to it. She is a wealth of information. Very pleasant day. She had waters and a box of snacks.
Kathy_S, Sep 2025
The best part for me was the scenic outlooks along Turn again arm and the conservation center for animal viewing. They do some rehab work on animals needing support. The driver was very informative on the tour.

It was a great trip. Billy was a great guide and an excellent driver. Saw so many animals up close. Must do.
Cheryl_D, Sep 2025
Enjoyable, seeing animals up close is an amazing experience. Also, having watched Dr. Oakley the Yukon Vet, who volunteers at the Sanctuary and has filmed episodes here, really brings yhe Sactuary to light.
Bridget_W, Sep 2025
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.
Susy_C, Sep 2025
What a great few hours with Lori, she was great fun and informative and we had lots of free time to see the animals, really a good tour!
Michael_S, Sep 2025
Lori is great operator shame the weather was bad the trip was called off on our there for safety reasons, the wind was blowing the van around the road. She offered us a refund which we declined, as she still has costs to cover.
Leonardo_S, Aug 2025
Guide was very entretaining and cared about the group feeling well at all times. Great way to see the some of the Wildlife while in Anchorage.
James_W, Aug 2025
Great 1/2 day trip! Nice trip to the Center with lots of beautiful scenery.
Lori was an excellent guide telling us stories along the route.
Complimentary snacks and water were served and Lori was thoughtful about stops along the way. Her knowledge of individual animals at the Center was impressive.
Cheryn_p, Jul 2025
It’s a long ride to the animal conservatory, almost back to Whittier we’re we left the cruise ship
Not as many animals as I expected
Jeff_F, Jul 2025
We were picked up at our hotel on time and greeted warmly by Lori. Everything was well coordinated and well communicated. She was very informative and we were able to see some of Alaska’s wildlife!
Brian_R, Jul 2025
Wonderful tour, guide is eccentric but friendly. Loved seeing wildlife in a conservation/native habitat up close and personal. Didn’t feel rushed, looking forward to a train and glacier tour next time!
Merrill_H, Jul 2025
Our tour guide, Tony was incredible and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide! He was fun, positive and full of interesting facts and personal stories. Since he is a native, he was able to separate fact from fiction and help us understand the Alaskan landscapes!
We marveled at the animals at the conservation center as there were animals we have never seen before! So up CLOSE and personal!
You have to to experience this tour. Ask for Tony!!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
What a great review - thank. you! We're so happy you enjoyed your day with Tony. I hope the rest of your time in Alaska is just as amazing!

Anthony_P, Jun 2025

Response from Host, Jul 2025
I'm happy you had a great afternoon with Billy - he's a terrific guide. Thanks for giving us such a nice rating and review.

Bruce_O, Jun 2025
The tour was great. Our tour guide/driver, Billy was the best. He had stops along the way for photos and even made an unplanned stop to show us a very scenic area. Billy drove around the preserve and showed us the different areas. A must do tour!
Georgia_C, Jun 2025
They are in for a real treat, especially if they get Tony as their tour guide he was so knowledgeable and entertaining.
jodi_b, Jun 2025
The wildlife center is okay. I assume the animals are well cared for but it just didn’t feel good being there. The bad part was our driver, Tony, who talked poorly of other tour guides, said he would never bring a friend here and spent the ride telling personal stories of animals he has shot
