Activity itinerary

Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center

2h
Admission ticket included

We will visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Centre. The AWCC 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. The center’s mission is to provide 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 muskox, small mammals and birds of prey. During spring and summer, visitors can often witness the rehabilitation of orphaned baby animals of various species.

Beluga Point

Beluga Point, is an area that 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 that make it a popular stop for visitors such as wildlife, breathtaking views of Turnagain Arm, a narrow waterway surrounded by mountains. The scenic backdrop of mountains and the ocean creates opportunities for stunning photography and quiet reflection. At times we can also see a phenomenon called a tidal bore, where a wall of water rushes in, reversing the flow of the river. The bore wave can be seen along Turnagain Arm, and Beluga Point is one of the spots where people gather to witness this natural event.

Turnagain Arm

Turnagain Arm is a stunning fjord-like waterway located southeast of Anchorage, Alaska, known for its dramatic tides, breathtaking mountain views, and abundant wildlife. Part of Cook Inlet, it features 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.
