Whether you're heading to the airport, hotel, or your next adventure, we’ll make sure the journey is every bit as special as the destination.
What You’ll Experience Your tour begins at the Seward cruise port, where your guide welcomes you aboard and sets the tone for a relaxed, scenic day ahead. As we wind our way along the iconic Seward Highway, expect postcard-worthy views at every turn — from glacier-fed lakes to dramatic mountain peaks.
Our first major stop is the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, a spacious, 250-acre sanctuary home to bears, moose, musk oxen, bison, and more. You’ll get a guided tour of this must-see attraction, where the animals roam in natural, protected environments.
Next, we visit the serene and breathtaking Portage Valley. Take a short, easy walk to Byron Glacier, where ice-blue views and glacial rivers create a peaceful, once-in-a-lifetime setting. We’ll also stop at the Portage Glacier Lodge, where you can take in the views or grab a souvenir.
We’ll pause in the charming town of Girdwood for an optional lunch at a local favorite spot. If time and weather allows, we'll stop at Virgin Falls for a short walk in Girdwood.
Before reaching Anchorage, we’ll stop at Beluga Point, a scenic overlook where you might spot Dall sheep on the cliffs or beluga whales in the Turnagain Arm (in season).
Finally, enjoy a brief driving tour of Anchorage’s highlights before we drop you off at your hotel, the airport, or your location of choice — relaxed, refreshed, and with incredible memories in hand.
