The best sights of Anchorage - Jeremy made this tour AWESOME! He was knowledgeable, personable, and an excellent guide. The weather was perfect so the wild animals were in full affect. We had the incredible opportunity to see a moose, beluga whales, and goats in the wild, in addition to the animals at the conservatory! Jeremy took our small group to the best locations at the right times - we even witnessed the Bore Tide with surfers! Highly recommend this tour to get the best experience of Anchorage.

A memorable day out for all the right reasons. - Absolutely fantastic day out with our lovely guide, Jeremy. The minibus was clean and comfortable. Jeremy was very knowledgeable and went over and above to make our excursion memorable. It was a pleasure to spend time in his company The stops en-route were easy to access on foot and there were basic restroom stops if required. The Wildlife Conservation Centre was busy but there was plenty of space to wander round and view the wildlife. We had plenty of time to walk around the whole centre before our return journey to Anchorage.

Great tour guide - It was a wonderful experience. Jeremy is an excellent tour guide. He’s very knowledgeable about Alaska but the most important for me was his kindness towards each person in his tour.

Only me & it was a 5 star experience - Jeremy, the guide/owner, let me know that it would only be me on the tour, but that was fine with me. I was picked up at my hotel and we went from there. The weather was very rainy, but that didn't spoil the trip. There was lots to see along the Turnagain Arm. We stopped to see a pond and the glacier that fed into it. We looked for moose. We did a tour of the Wildlife Rehab place and that was fantastic. Musk ox, caribou, bison, bears. Great trip out of Anchorage.

Bears and Moose - Unfortunately it poured rain all day but old Gary did an amazing job letting us see as much as possible and keeping us entertained. His knowledge of all aspects of the tour was incredible. Thank you.

Amazing Tour!! - Jeremy was amazing. He knows about the area and it’s history. We had an excellent tour—stopped at scenic lookouts, and the Alaskan Wilderness Conservation Center was very interesting. It was nice to see all the rescued animals were well taken care of. I would recommend to my family and friends!
