Really enjoyed this tour. Phil was VERY knowledgeable about names and histories and pointed out many different animals and things we would have missed. Nice laid back tour about 4-5 hours. Relaxing tour.

We had an excellent tour of the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and the beautiful areas on the way to it and around the Anchorage area. Scott is super knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. He gave us lots of relevant information and answered our questions. He was super thoughtful and helpful, even providing us with water and granola bars. I would very much recommend this tour.

It was a rainy day but our guide Jared made it as interesting as possible always looking for sites and animals for us to see. He made a rainy day shine.
