Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center & Turnagain Arm Tour
Overview
Experience Alaska’s wild side on this unforgettable winter journey along the scenic Turnagain Arm, where towering mountains, frozen waterfalls, and snow-covered shores create a breathtaking backdrop. A highlight of the tour is a visit to the 140-acre Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, a place so impressive it leaves even longtime Alaskans in awe.
The center provides refuge for orphaned, injured, and ill animals that can no longer survive in the wild, while also inspiring guests through education and conservation. Walk along spacious habitats and observe iconic Alaskan wildlife—such as moose, bison, musk oxen, and bears—living in natural surroundings. Winter’s crisp air and soft light create exceptional viewing and photography opportunities, making this tour perfect for nature lovers and photographers eager to capture Alaska at its most dramatic.
Along the way, your guide shares local stories, wildlife facts, and hidden viewpoints that bring Alaska’s winter landscape to life.
