A picturesque drive along the Turnagain Arm of the Cook Inlet will offer you breathtaking views while en route to one of the best attractions in southcentral Alaska - the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center! We will guide you through this wildlife sanctuary while sharing about the injured and orphaned wild animals in their care; you’ll also have some free time to walk around on your own. This trip is approximately one hour each way to the wildlife center with approximately 1.5-2 hours at the center itself, totaling a 4-hour educational tour with spectacular scenery the whole way!
Be ready for pickup 10 minutes before your tour on the 7th Avenue sidewalk in front of the Dena'ina Civic & Convention Center in downtown Anchorage. Please use the restroom before arriving to the pickup location.
We will drive alongside the Turnagain Arm of the Cook Inlet along the beautiful Seward Highway; we will make a special photo stop.
We will pass by Beluga Point on the Cook Inlet where we will look out for Beluga Whales & Dall Sheep (if the right time of season) and enjoy spectacular views of the ocean & mountains. Time permitting, we will make a stop.
We drive over this famous fishing creek, and if the right time of season, might see fisherman lined along the banks hoping to catch Silver salmon.
Weather permitting, we might spot some hanging valley glaciers in the mountaintops on our drive at the end of the Turnagain Arm!
Our main attraction is the amazing non-profit wildlife sanctuary that has rehabilitated & provided a forever-home for some injured & orphaned wild Alaska animals. We will spend approximately 1.5+ hours at the center. Half will be guided & half will be free time to explore on your own.
