Seward to Anchorage Transfer Tour
Begin your adventure with a city tour of Seward.
Located on Resurrection Bay, this small fishing town is a hub of activity in summer. With stores, day cruises and fishing, this little town comes alive.
Next you will stop at Exit Glacier. An eight mile drive off the main road reveals a spectacular view and a short easy riverbed walk provides a close-up and personal view of a magnificent glacier.
This will give you a "real Alaska" experience! As you leave Seward and tour north, you will have the opportunity to enjoy spectacular scenery through Moose Pass. This area is resplendent with hanging alpine glaciers.
Our escort drivers are very willing to stop for photos or animals along the tour. Binoculars as well as a high powered spotting scope are provided onboard. A stop for lunch, on your own, is provided at Summit Lake Lodge, a local favorite log lodge
Next, visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, opened to the public in 1993. It is located on 140 acres at the southern edge of Turnagain Arm and the entrance to Portage Valley.
AWCC provides care and rehabilitation for injured and orphaned wildlife and to provide wildlife education and awareness. Animals that are unable to be released or survive in the wild are given refuge in the center's spacious habitats.
Here people can safely get close, observe and photograph some of Alaska's largest land animals, including moose, bison, elk, deer, caribou, bears musk ox, small mammals and birds of prey.
Beluga Point provides a possible whale watch as you travel along the beautiful Turnagain Arm of the Cook Inlet. This drive also provides a great backdrop for stunning photography.
