Scenic Stops Along the Way
The first stop on your journey is Portage Lake, one of Alaska’s most beautiful and photogenic locations. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and shimmering glaciers, this icy blue lake offers the perfect backdrop for pictures and a peaceful moment to take in the grandeur of nature.
Next, we’ll head to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Centre, where you can meet some of Alaska’s most iconic animals. Here, you’ll see rescued and rehabilitated wildlife up close — including bears, moose, bison, musk oxen, lynx, and eagles. This isn’t just a drive-by photo stop; you’ll have time to walk the grounds, learn about the animals’ stories, and deepen your appreciation for Alaska’s wild inhabitants.
As we continue the scenic drive along Turnagain Arm, you’ll have the chance to stop at Beluga Point, a famous lookout known for its panoramic ocean views and, if you’re lucky, the chance to spot beluga whales swimming in the inlet during the right season. This is a favourite stop for many of our guests because of the breathtaking views and the chance to experience the raw beauty of Alaska’s coastline.
Other stops may include Potter Marsh Bird Sanctuary, where you can stroll along boardwalks over the wetlands and spot a variety of bird species, or other scenic pull-offs depending on the time and your group’s interests.
Capture Every Moment with Professional Photography
We understand that you want to remember every part of your Alaskan adventure, which is why we provide professional photography as part of the experience. Using a high-quality camera, we’ll take individual and group pictures at each major stop, so you don’t have to worry about shaky selfies or missing out on being in the photo. We want you to relax, enjoy the sights, and let us handle capturing the memories for you.
At the end of your tour, we’ll drop you off directly at your hotel in Anchorage. Whether you’re wrapping up a cruise or starting a new leg of your journey, we ensure a smooth, comfortable, and scenic transfer that feels more like an excursion than just a ride.
