This tour is ideal for you if you appreciate the convenience of a guided tour, but prefer to do your own thing. You'll get picked up in Anchorage and taken to Turnagain Arm for a tour, with a stop at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and Alyeska where you can explore at your own pace by taking an aerial tram ride or following one of the many scenic hiking trails in the area.
Take a tour of the scenic Turnagain Arm, see native wildlife at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, and take an aerial tram ride to get a stunning 360 view of mountains and hanging glaciers. Ideal for the independent traveler! Choose to depart at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. with return times at 6:45 p.m. The earlier you start the more time you will have at the tram to enjoy area hikes and activities.
Board your Turnagain Arm Shuttle for the guided drive along Alaska’s most scenic highway. From beginning to end there are dramatic views of mountain scenery and the rocky coastline of Cook Inlet. You will enjoy a one-hour visit to the 140-acre Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center where you can see native beers, reindeer, bison and other wildlife. AWCC’s mission is to provide refuge for orphaned, injured, and ill animals that can’t survive in the wild. Next, your driver will take you to Girdwood where you will be on your own to enjoy the aerial tram and activities in the area.
NOTE: This is a self-guided tour. You are responsible for your Alyeska Tram ticket which can be purchased direct. Research ahead to take advantage of all the hikes and activities available with your allotted time.
