Worth the time

Eileen_H, Oct 2023

The scenery was amazing. Our guide, Cheyenne, was great. Very welcoming and knowledgeable. Seeing bears up close was incredible. The Portage glacier was breathtaking. The boat takes you extremely close to the glacier. Worth the time!

Best tour

Great day - start to finish. Great tour operator Anesia I believe.. professional and friendly, never felt rushed.

Special experience

Genevieve_G, Sep 2023

We were able to see so many sights and even had a special treat of seeing beluga whales! The glaciers were beautiful and learning about the forces that are shaping them was enlightening.

Got to see so much!

Ashley_K, Aug 2023

We had such a great time on our tour with Cheyenne. She was an amazing and knowledgeable guide. The pace of the trip was great, and everyone was very nice about my wife needing some extra time at spots because of her broken foot and having to walk around with crutches.

Wonderful sightseeing trip of Alaska

Derek was very helpful, took pictures and answered any questions I had in a friendly manner. He is the best guide I have ever met. If I ever go to ANC again, I will choose him. Thanks for the great memories.

Highly recommend

It was perfect fun and cozy tour. Our guide Jeremy was kind and knowledgeable about the places. This small size tour was so much better than big bus tour.

Great experience and fantastic tour guide

We had a great time and Lori the driver was very knowledgeable about the area. The water cruise around the glacier was very educational on the different on snow and ice glaciers.

Glaciers and Wildlife Day Tour

Ken_R, Jul 2023

Great day trip at a reasonable price. Can’t speak highly enough of Cheyanne, our guide/driver. You can tell when someone enjoys their job and people. Cheyanne was funny, knowledgeable and as accommodating to her passengers as possible. It was a fun, informative day and highly recommend Viator and you’re lucky enough to have Cheyanne as your guide.

Fantastic! A must!

Patricia_M, Jul 2023

We enjoed most our glacier boat ride and how much we learned from our knowledgeable, professional and accommodating our guide!

Amazing experience!!!!

Kelly_S, Jul 2023

Cheyenne, our tour guide, was amazing. She kept us engaged and is knowledgeable. We saw mountain goats on our way. We couldn't get to do the cruise to the glacier, as it was unsafe (windy). We really enjoyed the conservation center. That was a very special experience.

Beautiful

Marcia_B, May 2023

Our tour guide was so great! He had great stories and was very engaging with knowledgeable in the area! Our boat portion was cancelled due to boat issues so I was disappointed but we had beautiful views and a great day learning about the area!

Alaska’s greatest hits in one tour!

Inji_D, Aug 2022

This was a fantastic “highlights” tour - mountain ranges, stunning scenic stops, a glacier and the absolute best bit was the wildlife centre. We arrived as a lot of the animals were being fed so we were up close with moose, reindeer and the bears. Our guide, Derek, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful - answered all our many questions and gave really useful hints and tips - he was great.

Great day!

Rande_S, Aug 2022

Our driver, Mike, was very knowledgeable. Gave us alot of information. The stops were very nice, despite the rain. Would definitely do this again.
