Planet Earth Adventures is a Seward, Alaska-based tour operator specializing in guided transfers and wildlife and glacier tours across the Kenai Peninsula and Southcentral Alaska. The company operates full-day and half-day excursions that connect cruise ports and Anchorage with natural highlights such as Exit Glacier, Portage Glacier, Turnagain Arm, and the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.
Tours run in luxury vans with small-group seating and local guides who provide interpretation, photo stops, and wildlife spotting. Several transfer tours include lunch and refreshments; other experiences focus on short, focused wildlife viewing or winter-specific itineraries.
Popular routed services include Seward–Anchorage and Anchorage–Seward cruise transfers that double as scenic touring along the Seward Highway, Whittier–Anchorage and Anchorage–Whittier transfer tours, and XPress transfer options for faster port connections. Day trips to Talkeetna offer cultural stops and optional activities such as scenic flights or ATV add-ons.
Planet Earth Adventures emphasizes safe, comfortable ground transportation and informed local guiding. Routes include the scenic Seward Parkway and Turnagain Arm viewpoints, with opportunities to see beluga habitat, moose, bears, and coastal scenery. The operator partners with the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center to include educational visits with rehabilitated animals.
Bookings are suitable for travelers seeking an alternative to crowded cruise transfers, those wanting curated photography stops, and visitors prioritizing wildlife-focused excursions. Pickup and drop-off locations connect cruise terminals and Anchorage-area hotels, making logistics straightforward for visitors exploring Alaska by sea or by land. Guest safety, clear communication, and flexible pickup options support seamless connections to cruise ships and Anchorage hotels daily.
