About

Anchorage Wilderness & Wildlife Tour

Small Group | Easy to Moderate Activity | Pick-up & Drop-off in Anchorage

Step into the wild beauty of Alaska on this unforgettable small group adventure from Anchorage. Our Anchorage Wilderness & Wildlife Tour is the perfect day trip for travelers who want to see authentic Alaska — up close and personal — without venturing too far from the city.

Your day begins with a scenic drive along the Glenn Highway, where breathtaking views of the Chugach Mountains set the tone. At the Reindeer Farm in Palmer, you’ll have the rare chance to feed and interact with reindeer, moose, alpacas, and more. This hands-on experience is a guest favorite and a memory you’ll never forget!

Next, we’ll journey up into the mountains to the stunning Hatcher Pass, where dramatic alpine vistas, winding roads, and historic landmarks await. Depending on the season, you may see snow-dusted peaks, wildflowers, or golden tundra — and enjoy a peaceful walk near Summit Lake or along the Little Susitna River.

Afterward, we’ll stop in Palmer, a charming Alaskan town with a rich farming history. It’s a great spot to stretch, take photos, or grab a bite if time allows.

We’ll finish the day at the serene Eagle River Nature Center, where well-maintained, flat trails wind through forested landscapes with the occasional moose sighting. Your guide will share stories about the local ecosystem and help you spot wildlife along the way.

Then it’s back to Anchorage, full of fresh air, great photos, and unforgettable memories.
