Enjoyable half day excursion!

Great trip .Alex did a great job driving us. Awesome She did a great job explaining everything. Z. Thanks!

The trip and guides were excellent. I unfortunately got very sea sick despite taking Dramamine when first getting on the boat “just to be safe”. I highly recommend taking Dramamine a few hours prior to the cruise so it has time to work or even getting a prescription/ OTC scopolamine patch (amazing anti nausea for sea sickness) I didn’t expect to get sea sick so I wasn’t as prepared as I should have been but despite the sea sickness it was still an absolutely incredible experience and would still do it again, just a bit more prepared next time!! We saw all kinds of wildlife and glaciers, absolutely once in a lifetime experience. I highly recommend if you are considering.

Hunter made the trip fun regardless of the weather we were having. We both enjoyed his stories and how involved he was with the group. Was great to learn about more Alaska. 100% recommend !

Very good. The guide was entertaining and also knowledgeable. I noticed that all the tour guides take extra efforts to make it memorable. Also they enjoy what they are doing. They were not rushing

Very nice, lots of info on the ride about area, friendly, did not rush us, would recommend to other people

We had a great day with Adam. He was a great ambassador for the Anchorage area, showing us many sights in Whittier, Anchorage, and points in between. A highlight was the Wildlife Conservation Center, and Adam even drove us to several different spots there, so that we didn’t miss seeing some of the animals. He was very knowledgeable, and his commentary added greatly to the experience. At the end of the journey, he took us directly to our Airbnb. If you need to get from the port in Whittier to Anchorage, and you have some time to spare, I highly recommend Adam’s service.

Excellent tour even thought the northern lights were not visible. Our guide Bob was excellent taking us to other areas to see, especially Beluga Point.

Ryan, our guide, was very personable and knowledgeable on many subjects. The transport van was very comfortable. The lunch stop was quite lovely and the seafood chowder was excellent. The scenery along the way was magnificent and the stops at the Exiting iceberg and the Byron iceberg were truly breathtaking. This was a great way to spend the day journeying from Seward seaport to the Anchorage airport. Overall, the tour was quite enjoyable.

It was a great experience, I would do it again, learned a lot.

We highly recommend booking this tour and cannot speak highly enough of our guide and driver Taylor, who made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. Taylor contacted us by message a day prior to our disembarking at Whittier from our cruise. It made things so easy when we disembarked as we knew exactly when and where to meet Taylor. We were able to wait inside the terminal and kept warm and dry knowing Taylor would contact us when he arrived in the parking lot. All went very smoothly in what was a very busy and crowded terminal. Taylor took us on a great full days excursion stopping at points of interest and a chance for photos and great views. We really enjoyed our stop at the Wildlife Conservation Centre and had plenty of time to see all the animals. A great stop for lunch without being rushed. Taylor made the whole experience really enjoyable with his willingness to share his knowledge and his warm and pleasant manner. He made sure we were dropped off right to the door of our accommodation. We thoroughly recommend you book this tour if you are needing a transfer from Whittier to Anchorage as you will get to see so much along the way. Thank you Taylor for an amazing day.

This tour booking was phenomenal and absolutely deserving of 5 stars!The original description says the tour runs from 9 PM–12 AM, but because the Northern Lights are so dependent on changing weather and visibility, Carla and Bob really do their best to accommodate and make the experience special regardless of the conditions.The day we went, visibility was lower and the chances of seeing the Northern Lights weren’t looking as strong. They texted us earlier in the day to let us know and were very transparent about the conditions. Instead of just cancelling or sticking to the original schedule, they adjusted the tour to start at 7 PM and go until 11 PM so we could see the sunset and visit some other beautiful and special sites around Anchorage. I really appreciated how much effort they put into making sure we still had a great experience!Unfortunately, my flight was delayed and I ended up arriving in Anchorage hours later than expected. Carla was communicative and accommodating and helped coordinate everything so I could still meet up with the tour group once I landed. I was incredibly grateful that she and Bob made the effort to pick me up and go above and beyond to make sure I could join the tour.Bob, our tour guide and driver, was wonderful! He's present, grounded, sharp, and very funny. Which makes for a perfect tour guide, especially in Alaska where you can encounter wildlife! Throughout the tour, he shared much about the history, wildlife, and culture of Alaska.Even though the Northern Lights conditions weren’t perfect that night, I'm still very happy that I went and experienced the tour, and met some amazing fellow travelers.I am so grateful and appreciative of how flexible, thoughtful, and welcoming everyone was. This ended up being such a memorable part of my Alaska trip.THANK YOU SO MUCH, CARLA AND BOB!!! I truly appreciate everything you did for us and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Anchorage!

Our tour guide Hunter showed up on time and for next 6.5 hours he showed us the pristine Alaska. Hunter was very knowledgeable about the area we visited. One thing I noticed he was sensative of making sure that everyone had memorable pictures to take home and he showed me and others how to take memorable pictures, mostly around the Portage Glacier. Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center was a great place to visit.

Great tour that takes you to Byron glacier and then a lake along with other stops. Loved seeing the sanctuary animals. Lunch was fabulous at Base Camp and Sherryre our tour guide was awesome and so accomplished. Also, your luggage is in a trailer so you don’t have to worry about it. Finally we were dropped off at the airport to say goodbye. Highly recommend this tour.

Kevin was a great tour guide! He was very informative and filled the time well. This is a great way to transfer from a cruise ship in Whittier to Anchorage.
