Glacier Turn

The Seward Highway is a "National Scenic Highway", and for good reason! This is a spectacular Turnagain Arm tour where the best scenery in Alaska resides. You can pack a good variety of things into one day with this tour, and not even get up early!

We'll start the day off around noon by picking you up at your hotel and heading to lunch at the top of Mt. Alyeska! From the viewing decks and Roundhouse Museum at Mt. Alyeska, we can see several glaciers as well as the Turnagain Arm and the territory we covered. After lunch with a view, descend the tram and continue on to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, a rescue and rehab organization for injured and orphaned animals. There we'll visit with orphaned grizzly bears, injured eagles, families of elk and bison, and many more Alaskan wild animals. Then we're off to get up close and personal with Portage Glacier on the 1-hour cruise at Portage Lake. An on-board expert will share facts and stories about global warming, the local flora and fauna, and glaciers of the Portage Valley. You will really learn some things while watching and listening to this amazing glacier!  Your captain will lead you within 300 yards of the Portage Glacier face as you take pictures aboard the MV Ptarmigan.
