If you want a low key, few people, fun and entertaining tour. This is the one for you. - The trip was amazing! From beginning to end, super fun, enlightening, and engaging. I can't remember the name of our tour guide, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. This tour was one of a lifetime, from the gorgeous views, to the animal refuge, and the 2 1/4 mile tunnel to Whittier, with 250 people population, 1 building housing, was amazing. Thank you too your employees and your company. I would recommend this tour.

Fun Trip to Cruise Port - Our motorcoach driver was very informative as well as very friendly. He made sure that he directed us to all the points of interest on our way to the cruise port in Whittier. Turnagain Arm was a spectacular part of the drive as well as Portage Valley. We also had an hour to spend at the Wildlife Conservation Center which was enjoyable. It was a scenic & comfortable trip to the port. I would recommend this tour.

Good experience! - The drive is beautiful! The driver, while a college student, was extremely friendly, and very proficient! Driving through the Wildlife Refuge allowed us to see all the animals, even though our stop time was only about an hour. Great experience!

We always make this stop on the way to our cruise!!!! - Seven days in Alaska and was the first time we saw a bear or a buffalo/bison. I’ve been stopping here for 30 years since it was just a few small barns. They do a great work.
