• Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center - The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, established in 1993, spans 140 acres at the southern edge of Turnagain Arm and the entrance to Portage Valley. Its mission is to care for and rehabilitate injured and orphaned wildlife while promoting wildlife education and awareness. Animals that cannot be released back into the wild are provided refuge in the center’s spacious habitats. Visitors can safely observe and photograph some of Alaska’s largest land animals, including moose, bison, elk, deer, caribou, bears, muskox, small mammals, and birds of prey. During spring and summer, guests often witness the rehabilitation of orphaned baby animals of various species.
• Beluga Point - Beluga Point is named after the beluga whales that can be seen from the shoreline, especially during the summer months (July to August). This area offers several natural attractions, making it a popular stop for visitors. It features wildlife, breathtaking views of Turnagain Arm—a narrow waterway surrounded by mountains—and opportunities for stunning photography and quiet reflection. Occasionally, visitors can witness a tidal bore, where a wall of water rushes in, reversing the river’s flow. Beluga Point is one of the prime spots to observe this natural phenomenon.
• Turnagain Arm - Turnagain Arm is a breathtaking fjord-like waterway located southeast of Anchorage, Alaska, renowned for its dramatic tides, stunning mountain views, and abundant wildlife. As part of Cook Inlet, it boasts one of the world’s largest tidal ranges, creating a unique tidal bore where a wave rushes inland during high tide. Visitors often spot beluga whales, Dall sheep, and various bird species along its shores. The Seward Highway, which runs along Turnagain Arm, offers one of Alaska’s most scenic drives, with views of rugged mountains and vast tidal flats. Your guide will make several stops along the way for photos and interpretation.
