OUR WILDLIFE TOUR WAS FEATURED ON BUZZFEED! See it here:
“The Try Guys Feed Wild Animals In Alaska”
Alaska’s only guaranteed viewing of land mammals in their natural habitat is at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center! Our guides, all local Alaskans, will take you through an expansive tour of this 200-acre facility caring for animals no longer able to live in the wild. Located at the southern end of Turnagain Arm (an All-American Road and National Scenic Byway), the conservation center is home to moose, brown and black bears, wolves, bald eagles, and musk oxen; all iconic Alaska wildlife! A shuttle from Anchorage with local Alaskans as guides is included.
For more information on this tour, please get in touch with us or give us a call at 866-681-0209
This half-day tour from Anchorage includes a local guide, a tour of the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, and scenic photo stops along the way!
Following pick up at your hotel or the Salmon Berry Tours office in downtown Anchorage, sit back in our comfortable and clean Sprinter vans as your Alaska driver guides you down Turnagain Arm, an All-American Road, and National Scenic Byway. Look out for hanging alpine glaciers, Dall sheep in the Chugach Mountains, and Bald Eagles. Beluga whales can be seen during the summer and autumn months along Cook Inlet and Turnagain Arm!
Tour 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 – they are traditionally hibernating in the winter months – 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!
Before returning to Anchorage, stop at the conservation center’s gift shop.
Complimentary snacks and water are provided throughout the tour.
To enhance guest experiences, hotel pick-ups are limited to three hotels per tour, based on a first-come, first-served basis. Book now to confirm your hotel pick-up!

Salmon Berry Travel & Tours recommends travel insurance provided by TravelSafe Insurance. Our recommendation is based on positive guest feedback. In particular, the experience of one Salmon Berry guest is instructive:
- Our guest had booked the vacation of a lifetime and the ultimate Alaska package. She had to cancel the trip a week before it began due to unfortunate circumstances.
- She later told us that within ten minutes of phone time, her claim was processed in full. She was very pleased with TravelSafe Insurance’s immediate and empathetic response. Getting a refund for her trip was the last thing she wanted to think about, and TravelSafe Insurance immediately took care of her needs and concerns.
