Wonderful day with Planet Earth Adventures! - Eli gave us such an awesome tour the to the Turnagain arm and the Conservation Center! He was a breath of fresh air in terms of enthusiasm and professionalism, and was one of the best tour guides my colleague and I have ever had. It was also a beautiful sunny day, and all in all a wonderful time! We also booked last-minute and the people on the phone and email were very nice and helpful. Thank you for this great experience!

Great guide - Best tour ever! Christine made this a memorable day. There were only two of us on tour so it allowed her to take our interests into account when deciding the day’s itinerary. She is very well-informed and knowledgeable about the area. She was very pleasant and wanted to make sure we had a good time. Christine’s the best!!

Nice tour - Matt was an excellent tour guide. I was a bit disappointed we did not actually go into Girdwood. I was looking forward to that. Weather wasn’t the best but was a very good tour.
