Overview
Unforgettable glacier cruise at Portage Glacier and a visit to the Wildlife Conservation Center from Anchorage Alaska.
Take an unforgettable glacier cruise right up to the face of a glacier, just 50 miles south of Anchorage. Motor to within 300 feet of the mammoth wall of ice called Portage Glacier. Listen for the unmistakable rumbling of a calving glacier, waiting for the movement when a huge block of ice crashes into the lake.
You will enjoy a one-hour stroll on your own at the 140-acre Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. Your jaws will drop in awe, even while viewing Alaska’s wildlife up close and personal. AWCC’s mission is to provide refuge for orphaned, injured, and ill animals-those that can’t survive in the wild. Your guides will make every effort to time the tour so that all customers will enjoy the bear feeding!
