One Way Tour & Transfer (Anchorage To Whittier)
This day tour to Whittier highlights the Turnagain Arm, an All-American Road and National Scenic Byway. Watch for alpine scenery, hanging glaciers, and potential wildlife sightings along the Seward Highway. Keep an eye out for Dall sheep in the Chugach Mountains, and Bald Eagles along the tidal flats. Beluga whales can be seen during the summer and autumn months along Cook Inlet and Turnagain Arm! Enjoy a guided tour highlighting lunch in Girdwood at Girdwood Brewing Company, a tour of the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, drive down Portage Valley and through the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, and scenic photo stops along the way! Visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, a 200-acre natural habitat dedicated to wildlife education and rehabilitation for some of Alaska’s favorite animals. We will drive and walk approximately 2-miles through the Conservation Center’s trails as you get close enough to observe some of our favorite land mammals; moose, reindeer, bison, wolves, and more! While we cannot guarantee bears due to the size of habitat and seasons, you could see them in summer and on sunny warm spring days. Make sure to take photos of wildlife with the amazing backdrop of the Chugach Mountains and Turnagain Arm! You will have time to stop at the conservation center’s gift shop. Complimentary snacks and water are provided throughout the tour. There is a one way tunnel into Whittier. Travel 2.5 miles through the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, the longest highway tunnel in North America. We expect to be to the cruise ship terminal by 2:45pm/3:00pm.
