“Seeing the Brown Bear up close while elk bugled and a huge V of migrating geese honked overhead. Magical. Also, baby Muskox. C'mon! Where else could this happen? Up close viewing of Explorer glacier and distant sights of beluga whale and Dall Sheep. Yes, please.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6 reviews · 4h 30m · from $195

Travel from downtown Anchorage along the Seward Highway to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, then stop in Girdwood for lunch and beer tasting at Girdwood Brewing Company. Guides such as Elizabeth and Tom add local context, with groups limited to 14 people.

“Our guide Elisabeth was knowledgeable, energetic and helpful throughout our trip. We were lucky to have our small group to ourselves with Elizabeth and it felt more personal. The place to stop for lunch was also delish. She suggested great photo opportunities as well.”
