    2. Whittier Cruise Transit Tour with Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center

    5.0· 1 reviews

    Four to five hours of scenic transit—stops include Portage Lake, Beluga Point, and the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, with hotel or airport drop-off in Anchorage.

    We enjoyed fantastic excursions throughout Alaska, but the private transfer from Beluga Tours from the cruise dock to the airport truly stood out. Our driver, Taylor, was excellent—knowledgeable, friendly, and engaged well with my 21-year-old son and his friend. He was also an exceptional driver. He communicated with us the day before and kept in touch that morning, ensuring a seamless meet-up. The vehicle was spacious and comfortable. We hiked to a glacier where the boys walked on it, visited waterfalls, an animal conservation center, a bird sanctuary, and even a beluga spotting area, plus a place near the airport to see planes fly overhead. We enjoyed a nice pizza for lunch as well. This was a fantastic way to utilize our time before our late flight, allowing us to explore local attractions and get some exercise. This private tour was worth every cent, and I'm thrilled we chose it. It was a perfect conclusion to an incredible trip, definitely a highlight. Request Taylor as your driver; you won't be disappointed.John_C
