Traveler Reviews

We spent a thoroughly enjoyable day with Jeremy taking this tour out of Anchorage. Strongly encourage others. The van was very nice, ride comfortable. The Portage glacier had just calved an iceberg as big as a house! The Alaska Wildlife Reserve was very entertaining. Seeing salmon spawning, and hearing the history of the Turnagain Bay was educational. Nice lunch spot during a day of glacier watching.

Great experience! Chris was an excellent guide. I would definitely recommend this trip for anyone visiting Anchorage.

Very nice tour. Well paced and we learned a lot about the history of the area. Chris our tour guide was awesome! I highly recommend this tour to others.
