Itinerary
This Tour is for those who are on a time constraint and budget. This is a direct shuttle to the Wildlife Center with a scenic stop at Beluga Point. Board your Turnagain Arm Shuttle for the guided drive along Alaska’s most scenic highway. From beginning to end there are dramatic views of mountain scenery and the Cook Inlet. At the 140-acre Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, jaws drop in awe-even while viewing Alaska's spectacular wildlife. AWCC’s mission is to provide refuge for orphaned, injured and ill animals-those that can’t survive in the wild. Your shuttle will take you directly to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center where you can witness Alaskan Wildlife up-close. Your journey includes a one-hour visit to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center where you will be able to stroll the grounds at your leisure for one hour and then a direct journey back to Anchorage. We depart from the Alaska Wildlife Center gift shop on time. Please ask your driver for the departure time and remember it is hard to find guest last minute, so kindly be ready at departure time. Turnagain Arm is a “Must See destination” via The Turnagain Arm Shuttle.

Traveler reviews
First, appreciate the...
First, appreciate the flexibility in adjusting my reservation due to my flight being canceled! Second, very friendly and engaging tour guide who also offered accommodations for folks who may not be as mobile. Third, if you can, sit on the right side on the way to for the view of Turnagain's Arm! I'd go again!
Rescue center
This is a rescue center for some Alaska’s injured or rescued animals. It makes for a good photo opportunities.
None
The tour provided a good close up view of animals along with beautiful Alaskan scenery. Rezi Ramos was an excellent guide - extremely pleasant and friendly.
Brad is the man!
Brad the tour guide was very entertaining and friendly. He went above and beyond his normal duties as a tour guide to make my twin daughter's 7th birthday extra special in Alaska.
See above.
The booked and confirmed tour was canceled at short notice by Alaska's Shore Tour due to overbooking. The amount of 198 US dollars was charged!! A refund is no longer possible. Without justification! Therefore, I will not recommend Tripadvisor to anyone! I also request that all information or promotional emails cease immediately.
