A Perfect Day! Small Group. Good Guide and Close-Up Bear!

We took the Wildlife and Glaciers with a Walk in the Rainforest Tour, and it was the highlight of our time in Anchorage. With only six people in our group, the excursion felt like a private, personalized experience rather than a crowded commercial tour. Our guide and driver, Brian, was great. He was knowledgeable and kept us entertained. Brian shared local insights during the stunning drive down the Seward Highway. The itinerary was the perfect snapshot of Alaska's best features, but the highlight was visiting the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. We got to see a large brown bear go for a swim in the river. He was so close to us that I was able to capture some incredible pictures using my cell phone. Between the close-up wildlife encounters, the coastal views at Beluga Point, and the beautiful, peaceful walk through the coastal rainforest in Portage Valley, this trip packs everything you want into a perfect half-day pace. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough!

Great start to our Alaska adventure

What a wonderful way to start our time in Alaska. Brooks was our guide and provided lots of history and entertaining stories that put everything we were seeing in great context. One cautionary point, which wasn’t an issue for us but could be for others, the walk in the rainforest was about 1.4 miles each way— walking on the snow made it worthwhile though!
