Overview
This is an amazing way to be guaranteed to see many of Alaska's most sought after wildlife in a safe and animal friendly park! The bears are adorable, but trust me, seeing a bear in the wild can be a pretty intimidating. Much of Alaska's wildlife you will never see and even the moose, which are super common, visitors can go days or even weeks without seeing one and sometimes you'll see a few in any given day but visiting Alaska's Wildlife Conservation Center guarantees you'll see these animals and so many more!
Licensed by Alaska's Transportation Department, I am setting this up as 4-5 people because of the way the Viator commissions and Park fees work, if you are just one or two people you can still book the tour but I need to charge for 4 or 5 people to make it feasible, if that makes sense.

What To Expect
Turnagain Arm Drive
The drive to the Wildlife Conservation Center is one of the most beautiful you are likely to ever experience! We'll stop at Beluga point for photos and to look for Beluga whales (they're rare please don't misunderstand, but we do see them especially in the summer!) More common are balled eagles and Dall sheep on the mountainside! "It's classified as an All-American Road and Scenic By-Way for a reason. The Highway follows the coast south of Anchorage with the Cook Inlet on your right and the mountains of Chugach State Park on your left."
