This was a delightful trip to the Alaskan conservatory with various stops along the way to admire the scenic views! Brittany clearly loves her job and has so much to share about the animals at the conservatory as well as the beautiful locations along the way. Brittany provided a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. I would highly recommend this tour!

Very personalized and knowledgeable and engaging host. Went out of her way to accommodate. Highly recommend and all of the stops had wonderful views. She also knows the names of all the animals and where they like to hide. I would have missed three of them without her help.

Brittney was great. Great transportation, beautiful stops and loved all her knowledge of the animals, flowers etc.
Donbee_L, Jul 2025
I highly recommend this tour - Brittney is super nice and so knowledgeable. She took us to the conservation center and told us about each of the animals, and made a few stops along the way to show us special sights like dall sheep and the boric tide coming in. I know she offers other tours as well, and I would highly recommend her for a tour! She went above and beyond to make the experience amazing.

We loved our day with Brittney. She is very knowledgeable and we made stops at some very scenic viewpoints. The highlight was the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. Brittney drove us through the park and she is very familiar with the animals and had great information to share. We loved our small group tour.

Brittany, our tour guide, was terrific-providing us with insightful information about Alaska's inhabitants, culture & environment--presented in a very personable way.
Be sure to book her service.

A great way for the family to see some native wildlife. My daughter was super excited about seeing the brown bears and Elks up close.

Fantastic experience. Our guide was very informative. Great tour and the wildlife conservation was amazing.
Charles_L, Jun 2025
Brittaney is the owner of this operation. She’s absolutely amazing. Knows everything. Even though the names of animals at the conservation area we went to. Super friendly. Lots of stops. Great communicator. One of the best tours ever. If you’re gonna take a tour while you’re in Anchorage, this is the one to take.

Brittany was a GREAT guide!
We had an absolutely incredible time on our wildlife tour! Our group of 10 was treated to an unforgettable adventure from start to finish. The guide was not only knowledgeable and passionate but also made the entire experience fun and engaging for everyone in our group, from wildlife enthusiasts to first-timers.
We saw a wide variety of animals in their natural habitats, and the scenery was breathtaking at every turn. The tour was perfectly paced, with plenty of time to take photos, ask questions, and simply enjoy the beauty around us. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and everything was well-organized and stress-free.
This was the highlight of our trip — a perfect mix of education, excitement, and awe. We can’t recommend this experience enough for families, friends, or any group looking to connect with nature in a meaningful way. Thank you for making this such a memorable day for all of us!

Thank you so much LeAnn! Your family was a hoot and I thoroughly enjoyed showing you my beautiful home! I'm glad we had a little extra time to see some of my favorite secret spots on the way back to Anchorage and that you were as awestruck as I always am!
Gloria_G, Jun 2025
This excursion is overrated and overpaid. Probably many travelers are buying it which makes it an easy coming business for the company … no need to invest in cleaning of the car (for instance).
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Hi Gloria,
I'm really sorry you felt that way about the tour and surprised as you and your husband seemed to have had a great time and expressed that to me directly. Sometimes as a solo operator it is difficult to keep the mud guards pristine when we have had a lot of rainy weather, but I do my best to keep the van as clean as possible. I am a very small business and tours are priced in such a way to cover all the costs associated with operation. You'll find most similar tours have a comparable cost.
I even offered to help you with an itinerary for the remainder of your trip, and spent several hours working on it, but never heard back from you.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Alaska are able to find other operators that better meet your expectations.

Brittney was fantastic - very knowledgeable and generous with her time! We got to see mountain goats, Dahl sheep, and a moose momma and baby! She capped off the tour with a surprise stop by the most beautiful lake!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
You all must be a good luck charm that we were able to see the mountain goat! In all my years in the state, that was the first one I saw in the wild! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for supporting my small business!
Gabriela_L, May 2025

Britney was wonderful! She is incredibly knowledgeable about Anchorage and the area. She was willing to make stops to see wildlife along the way. She knew the conservation center and all the animals there. We enjoyed our time with her and the tour. We would highly recommend her tour!

Excellent tour! Watching the surfers at
Beluga Point was an added extra! Very knowledgeable tour guide
Response from Host, Sep 2024
It was such a treat to get to see the surfers! Feel free to send me an email if you'd like any of the photos from that day. Thank you for your support!
Gerri_L, Sep 2024
Brittany’s mobile narrative was priceless…..not only filled with facts but her own spin on it! The animals not only had their names but a lot of history!
Response from Host, Sep 2024
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! The animals at the Conservation Center are absolutely precious and I love having the opportunity to introduce them to new friends!
Sally_G, Sep 2024
This is a very informative and relaxed tour. We are super glad that we did this, and we saw the wildlife we were hoping to see. The tour guide really knew her stuff and gave us a lot of information which was really interesting. Anchorage, we will be back.

Thank you so much Sally! Let me know whether you received the photos I sent. I look forward to seeing you again!

I always enjoy sharing the Wildlife Conservation Center with guests, thank you for choosing Escaping Anchorage!
Alfred_K, Jun 2024
This was the perfect half day out of the city into nature. Thanks Brittney for the making sure i can get to see some of the amazing sights and explaining what goes on at the Wildlife Center. Being next to the bear - a BIG bear - was already worth the trip for me:) Thanks again for the great time, Alfred
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thank you so much Alfred! I'm glad we actually got to see JB!
Peter_B, Jun 2024
Was lucky to have Brittany take me from Anchorage to the wildlife center. We passed some great scenic viewpoints and she stopped and gave some historical Background and great Anecdotes. Also made a couple of detours, specifically catered to personal interests and Side trips that I would be doing solo. But the best part was having her as a guide when we got to see the wildlife at the center. She knew all about the different species of animals, but more importantly, she actually knew the specific names of many of the animals, and many visitors would gather around as she explained and told stories and answered questions. Her enthusiasm for the locations and her job was apparent. When we return, she went out of her way to drop me at a different location for another tour I was doing. One day I hope to come back and have her take me to the MuskOx preserve, or whatever other tours she is doing.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thank you so much Peter! I had a lovely time and was so glad that you enjoyed the animals antics as much as I did! I look forward to Escaping Anchorage with you in the future!
Leigh_W, Aug 2023
Brittany gave us a wonderful tour. She was very knowledgeable of the area and a delight to talk to. The animal sanctuary was beautiful and her love for the animals and info on each along with knowing their individual names made it that much more special. She went out of her way to make our day perfect and even recommended a restaurant and dropped us off there at the end. Highly recommend booking with her!!
