Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this tour?

A: No specific age limit! The tour is great for all ages. Just keep in mind younger kids might need extra attention during the wildlife viewing parts. It's really interactive, so they’ll likely enjoy it! Just make sure they can handle the car ride, as it can be a bit lengthy.

Q: What should we wear for the rainforest walk?

A: Dress in layers! The weather can change quickly in Alaska. Wear sturdy shoes for the walk, and don’t forget a light rain jacket just in case. It can get a bit muddy too, so old shoes are a good idea!

Q: How's the parking situation at the Wildlife Conservation Center?

A: Parking is pretty straightforward! There's a large lot at the Conservation Center, and it's free. If you’re taking the tour, they handle all transportation, so you won't need to worry about parking!

Just did the Wildlife Conservation tour—amazing experience!

I just got back from the Wildlife Conservation Center & Portage Valley Glaciers tour and wow, it was incredible! The scenery along Turnagain Arm was breathtaking, and we even spotted some Beluga whales! The guide was super knowledgeable about all the animals at the center. The rainforest walk was refreshing and felt like a mini adventure. Highly recommend this as a gift for nature lovers!

Considering this tour as a birthday gift—thoughts?

I’m thinking of getting my husband this tour for his birthday since he loves wildlife and nature. Has anyone done it recently? What did you think? I'm hoping for the whale sightings, and I heard the guide makes a big difference in the experience.
