Wildlife, beer and lunch a great combo - We really enjoyed seeing all the animals and the beer and lunch was really good. I got to try reindeer sausage in a crepe! Seeing the moose, bears. Musock, coyote, wolves, owl, lynx, porcupine, and wolverine was great

Super experience in Anchorage - We had the best time. Chris was wonderful. We had several hour we needed to kill while waiting on our flight home after our cruise. We signed up for the excursion because we love food , beer, and animals. In our previous trips to Alaska we hardly ever saw any animals. As we traveled out from Anchorage we stopped because Chris saw Doll Seep playing on the hillside along the highway. We the went to the brewery for lunch an beers. The food truck was amazing. The beers were very good. We then went to the wildlife sanctuary and got up close to bears, musk oxen, bison, moose, elk, an a porcupine. Then on our way back to Anchorage we spotted beluga whales in the Turnagain arm of Cook Inlet. An amazing day for sure. Thanks for a great day

If in Anchorage, AK this is a ***MUST*** have on the To-Do list. - This trip was amazing! Chris was very accommodating and went out of his way multiple times to ensure we had the best experience our group could have in Anchorage, AK. During the drive all of our questions were answered, and information was actively given out to ensure we got an enriching knowledge of Alaska. We pulled over at overlooks to take in the scenery and even had a few group photos taken. We made our way to Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC) and got a chance to see the Big 5. The animals were very well taken care of and very interactive. Again, Chris was a well of knowledge for the animals we were viewing. Afterwards we went to a local brewery with some delicious food trucks to eat from. The beer was on point, and the food left us satisfied with our choices. Our way back was just as stunning as our initial drive out. Chris was accommodating and even dropped us off at our hotel vice the initial meeting spot. This was an amazing experience, and I definitely look forward to it again next time I get a chance to visit Alaska.

Wildlife Center with Lunch and Local Beer Sampling - Anchorage, Alaska - It was terrific to learn more about the history and culture of Anchorage, to get close to the Alaskan native animals, and to enjoy the freshly prepared food and the locally brewed beer. Our guide was very knowledgeable, professional, polite and accommodating, allowing us to stop and take in and photograph the breath taking views along the way. All of this at a great price too.

Great afternoon of sightseeing - Kimberly was a great guide (8/24/25). Very knowledgeable and flexible. On our afternoon tour she knew when to go and see the wildlife active, got us to Girdwood brewery in time for happy hour, and we even made it just in time to see the surfers on the bore wave on the way back. An overall excellent experience.
