• The tour begins with a brief exploration of Whittier, a distinctive town known for its cruise-ship activities. You will see the historic Begich Towers, the small harbor, and local shops serving the area. A stop for a quick coffee or snack at the popular Wildcatch Café can be arranged before heading to the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel. This segment provides insight into Whittier’s history and scenery before continuing the journey. • The journey continues through the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, North America's longest combined vehicle and rail tunnel. Operating on a timed schedule, this one-lane tunnel offers a unique experience as you traverse its 2.5-mile length cut through the mountain. Information about the tunnel’s history, engineering, and its connection to Whittier and the rest of Alaska will be provided, marking a significant highlight of the trip. • At the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, a 200-acre sanctuary focused on the preservation of iconic Alaskan wildlife, you will see brown and black bears, moose, musk ox, bison, wolves, porcupines, and other animals up close within expansive habitats. Guidance will be provided for the highlights, followed by time to explore the boardwalks and viewing areas at your own leisure. Entrance is included, allowing you to enjoy the full experience without additional charges. • The charming mountain town of Girdwood, home to Alyeska Resort, is the next destination. Here, you will enjoy a scenic ride on the Alyeska Aerial Tram, ascending over lush forests and up the mountains for spectacular panoramic views of glaciers and Turnagain Arm. At the summit, you can walk around, enjoy the viewpoints, and take photographs of the stunning landscape. Tram admission is included, and there is an opportunity to explore the resort's shops and cafés before heading to Anchorage. • On the way to Anchorage, travel along the scenic Turnagain Arm, recognized as one of the most picturesque roadways in Alaska. This striking coastline features dramatic mountain vistas, tidal flats, and the potential to see Dall sheep or beluga whales during the season. Brief photo stops will be made at prime viewpoints like Beluga Point or Bird Point, conditions permitting. This segment is a favorite for many visitors. • The journey concludes in Anchorage, with flexible drop-off options available to suit your plans. If time allows, a visit to a few local attractions on the route, such as Earthquake Park, scenic Lake Hood (known as the world’s busiest seaplane base), and a drive through historic downtown Anchorage can be arranged. Restaurant recommendations can also be provided to enhance your visit. Drop-off can be arranged at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, local hotels, or your Airbnb for an easy conclusion to your day.
