We really enjoyed seeing all the animals and the beer and lunch was really good. I got to try reindeer sausage in a crepe!
Seeing the moose, bears. Musock, coyote, wolves, owl, lynx, porcupine, and wolverine was great

It was terrific to learn more about the history and culture of Anchorage, to get close to the Alaskan native animals, and to enjoy the freshly prepared food and the locally brewed beer.
Our guide was very knowledgeable, professional, polite and accommodating, allowing us to stop and take in and photograph the breath taking views along the way.
All of this at a great price too.

Wonderful experience! Our guide was very informative and thorough. We learned a lot about the history and environment of Alaska. The wildlife conservation center was enjoyable and the brewery lunch was tasty! We even saw beluga whales along the way!

We had such an incredible time on this tour! The drive to the wildlife center was unbelievably picturesque with stops to spot animals with binoculars along the way. The wildlife center was better than I had imagined, it was amazing to see so many different animals in such large, peaceful environments unlike a zoo and to hear about how the wildlife center is working to make a difference for the lives of these animals. Lunch at the brewery was delicious and tasting the different beers, seltzers, and root beers was tons of fun. Kimberly was INCREDIBLE! She went out of the way to personalize the tour to focus on information about animals that we were most interested in and shared all about life in Anchorage. We wouldn't hesitate to go on this tour again when we're back in the area.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Wow—thank you so much for this thoughtful and enthusiastic review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear you had such an incredible time with Kimberly. She has a true gift for connecting with guests and sharing the heart of Alaska, and it sounds like she made your tour truly memorable.
We’re especially glad you enjoyed the scenic drive, the wildlife center, and the tasting experience at the brewery—those are some of our favorite moments too. It means a lot to hear you'd join us again, and we'd be honored to welcome you back whenever you're in the area!
Until next time—wishing you more adventures and plenty of great flavors along the way.
