Great day trip! - This was a great day trip from Anchorage. Even with all the snow, we saw some great animals and beautiful views. No glaciers....it was REALLY snowing, but we had a fantastic time regardless. Our tour guide, Davis, was so entertaining and knowledgeable. Pickup and dropoff at our hotel was a definite plus.

Super Informative and Relaxed - Stephanie was my tour guide, and she was really exceptional. The route is really informative and I enjoyed every stop, story, and the animals we saw.
You will get lunch toward the end of the tour. We had ours at a sit-down restaurant and it was super pleasant and relaxed.
Stephanie in particular is very passionate about Alaska, and it shows. She has extensive knowledge of the area, animals, and local events/businesses. She was incredibly easy to talk to, and I had an incredible day learning about everything. 10/10 would recommend if you're interested in learning about the area.
