Wonderful Animal Sightseeing and Adventure - The Tournagain Arm tour was absolutely beautiful. Our guide Christina was very knowledgeable and was able to take us to some very picturesque spots for pictures and animal watching. We got to see wild sheep/goats and bald eagles on the drive. The Alaska Conservation was a very cool spot to see so many wonderful animals. Very glad I had a great guide that made my experience fun and memorable!

Perfect day tour - This tour offered a bit of everything iconic about Alaska. The small group (8) was the perfect size. We were able to stop at various points to see all sorts of wildlife—beluga whales, moose, sheep, salmon. Plus blueberry picking. Our guide,Phil, was knowledgeable and informative. It was truly spectacular!

Nice tour - Matt was an excellent tour guide. I was a bit disappointed we did not actually go into Girdwood. I was looking forward to that. Weather wasn’t the best but was a very good tour.
