If you are in Anchorage, Alaska, you can't miss this incredible combination of a cruise and a visit to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. Our tour begins with a drive along the scenic Seward Hwy, a route full of natural beauty and stunning landscapes.
During the journey, you will admire the spectacular views of Turnagain Arm, Cook Inlet, and the mountains of the Chugach State Park ranges. This stretch is known for its contrasting landscapes: lush green forests, blue skies, the sea, and the crystal-clear waters of numerous rivers, snow, and majestic glaciers. It is undoubtedly a "spectacular" route that captures the essence of Alaska's nature.
Upon arriving at Portage Lake, you will embark on a one-hour cruise, considered by many as one of the most impressive moments of their visit to Anchorage. With a bit of luck, you might see ice calving into the lake. This cruise is rated the best in Alaska. During the tour, you will also have the opportunity to understand how global warming is affecting these regions, especially the glaciers that, after hundreds of years of preservation, are now rapidly retreating. Portage Glacier is a clear example, where the melting has led to the formation of a beautiful lake.
After the cruise, we will visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, a place dedicated to the rehabilitation and conservation of local wildlife. Most of the animals here have been rescued and are in the process of rehabilitation. At this center, you can see up close coyotes, foxes, wolves, black bears, grizzly bears, caribou, moose, red deer, Arctic musk oxen, American bison, and the majestic bald eagle, the national bird of the United States.
At the end of this enriching experience, we will return by road to your hotel in Anchorage.
