Experience Alaska your way on this fully private and customizable tour. Enjoy the freedom to set your own pace, request photo stops, and personalize the day to match your interests. As your local guide and photographer, I’ll capture the highlights—scenic views, wildlife encounters, and candid group moments—then send you a curated gallery of edited photos. When people picture Alaska, they imagine wild animals, towering mountains, and endless glaciers. Turnagain Arm offers all of that—just a short, scenic drive from Anchorage. This breathtaking inlet is famous for its massive tides, rugged mountain backdrops, and the rare bore tide, where a single wave sweeps across the entire inlet. We’ll journey the Seward Highway, one of North America’s most scenic drives. The road hugs the coastline, offering endless views and chances to spot moose, bald eagles, Dall sheep, and potenitally beluga whales. With private transportation and a flexible itinerary, this is about making the most it.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this tour, or is it suitable for kids?

A: This tour is great for all ages! Kids will love spotting wildlife and you can customize the pace to make it kid-friendly. Just make sure to dress them in layers, as the weather can change quickly. The guide is super accommodating and will work with your family's needs.

Q: What's the best time of year to book this tour? Is the weather reliable?

A: The summer months (June to August) are ideal for this tour since the weather is milder, and you’ll have long daylight hours for photo ops. However, late spring and early fall can also be beautiful. Just keep in mind that rain can happen anytime in Alaska, so layer up and bring a waterproof jacket! The guide will know how to adjust the itinerary based on weather.

Q: Do they provide transportation from Anchorage, and is parking an issue?

A: Yes, transportation is included! The guide picks you up right from your hotel in Anchorage. No need to worry about parking, which can be tricky in the summer. It's all very convenient, and you get to relax and enjoy the views without the hassle.

Just did the Private Scenic Turnagain Arm Tour, WOW!

I just got back from the Private Scenic Turnagain Arm Glacier Tour, and it was absolutely amazing! Our guide was super friendly and flexible with our requests. We got to see moose and a ton of gorgeous views along the Seward Highway. Plus, we had snacks and cold water provided (so nice!). I can't recommend this enough, especially if you're into photography—our guide took some stunning shots of us. Seriously, book this if you're in Anchorage!

Considering gifting the Turnagain Arm Tour to my parents!

I’m thinking about this private tour for my parents' anniversary. They love nature and photography, and I know they'd appreciate the personal touch. Has anyone done this and can share how it went? I want it to be special for them. Any tips on the best time to go?
