Take a walk on the wild side as you're guided around the 200+ acre Conservation Center. Your guide will walk with you, sharing information about the various animals located at the facility. We will be sure to make time for the gift shop!
We will pass by Girdwood, if time allows we will drive through the town.
A favorite for visitors and locals alike, Beluga Point is a must see stop along the Turnagain Arm
We will stop at various other points in Chugach State Park on our sunset drive back to Anchorage.
Provided time and light allows, we will make one final stop at Point Woronzof where we'll catch the rest of the sunset and watch planes landing at Ted Stevens International Airport. If we're lucky there may be food trucks parked here to grab a snack before heading back for the evening!
This review is LONG overdue! This tour was one of the highlights of my trip - the tour guide was incredibly friendly, relatable and knowledgeable. I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to get a private tour from an individual that very clearly adores what they do, loves where they live and wants to share the full extent of Alaska's beauty to a first time traveler and make it memorable :) THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Brittney is so personable and knowledgeable. She took us to all the best spots for picture-taking. Her tour was well-organized an although it was well below 0 degrees, she kept us warm while keeping it fun.
Wonderful trip! Brittany was so great and knowledgeable! She was so kind and knew all of the best spots! It really felt like she was a longtime friend we were visiting and she was taking us to all of the best spots! We learned so much! She made sure to get us the best views of the sunset. They’re hard to catch in the winter and happen fast but she made sure we caught it at multiple spots! She knew about all of the animals at the conservation! It was freezing and windy out and she was great with making sure we had enough stops with keeping warm. She was great with our kids and answered all of their questions. I highly recommend this trip with her!!
The guide took me on even i was the only one signed up for the day. She was very friendly and passionate about things she showed me. I am against zoo so this conversation center is a good place to see some native animals. The guide knows every animal in the wildlife centre by name! It was very enjoyable and I highly recommend this tour if you have limited time in Anchorage or just want a shorter day tour.
This was an amazing tour. Brittany is so passionate about Alaska, and was excited to share everything she knows. While at the Wildlife Conservation Center, she was able to tell me everything about every single animal there. And she has a great eye! At one point, we pulled over after she spotted some dall sheep in the mountains. She also took me to some areas where moose frequent and we saw 3! Overall, a great tour with a great teacher.
Brittney was great. Even though no one else booked this tour, she still took just the two of us on a great tour. She is very passionate and knowledgeable about the animals at the conservation center and it shows. Got incredible sunset views despite the cloudy day. Definitely recommend taking this tour with Brittney.
We had a great opportunity to know more about the areas we were visiting. Brittney went above and beyond to provide us with the best experience on this tour
Brittany was a wonderful historian and information vault! She has a knack for explaining and sharing her wealth of knowledge that made me feel like she’s never met a stranger. The views were breathtaking and it was awesome seeing all the animals up close! The foxes ate dinner for an audience and the wolves were having fun playing. I could have watched them for hours. The lookout/stopping points were perfect for 360* picturesque views. I’m so glad we did this tour! My heart is full💗!
Brittney is an amazing guide. She really makes you feel like you’re visiting a friend showing you the beauty of Alaska. She is very knowledgeable in the life of an Alaskan, the wildlife and has a great cheerful personality. She is a great conversationalist making this tour awesome. We saw plenty of wildlife and during feeding times. Lots of photo opportunities. Thank you for sharing Alaska’s beauty.
Really fun, beautiful and informative tour. Everyone, from adults to teens to tweens, had a great time. Highly recommend.
Way to go Brittney! Delightful tour full of local information and history AND eagles, bears, moose, fox, musk oxen and porcupines. There are more rescued animals at the Conservation Center but these were my favs. Twix the porcupine stole my heart. Top it off a spectacular sunset and it was a wonderful day. Thank you Brittney!
Brittney is an excellent guide and is very knowledgeable about all things Alaska. The tour included great photo opportunities for mountain ranges, animals, and of course, a sunset. She doesn’t go off a script, so you learn about Alaska through authentic conversation and observations. I will definitely look her up the next time I’m in Anchorage!
Brittney presented us with MAGIC on our tour.... The amount of active wildlife, beautiful scenery (a great day for Denali views) and wonderful information was just what we needed to complete our 50 states trip! We highly recommend this tour and our wonderful guide!!!
Best trip and tour guide ever. I had so much fun exploring alaska. The sunset was beautiful and I was able to see 8 mooses in one day. The tour guide is so sweet and very experienced. I learned so much from her. I would definitely do this again in the future.
LOVE IT. The best day I had in Anchorage! I get to know all the spectacular mountains and history stories in Anchorage which I wouldn’t have had if I went with other guides. Also, the spots were great and basically personal, so that it felt like such a unique exploration. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Brittany is such a wonderful tour guide. Her love of her city of Anchorage (and the State of Alaska) makes you want to pack your bags and move to this city. Her knowledge of the landscapes, animals and History of the city is astounding. She is a great hostess and tour guide. If you are looking to see the beauty of Anchorage and gain some understanding of the culture of Alaska please do not hesitate to book this tour, you will not regret it. She honestly talked me in to planning a trip in the summertime with my mom and grandma to Anchorage. Thank you Brittany for hosting this solo traveler on her first trip to Alaska, I truly enjoyed myself.
Brittney from Escape Anchorage was beyond amazing! She picked us up right on time and was very friendly. We had a wonderful time at the conservation center, she knew all the animals by name! She also knew if these “off the beaten path “ locations for some indescribable photos. I really can’t say enough about this excursion/experience. Absolutely 100% more than satisfied.
Brittany is such a fun person! You can tell she really loves Alaska and has a soft spot for wildlife. She knew all the names of the rescued animals at the AWCC and shared a lot of facts and history about Alaska, which was fascinating. We appreciated her going the extra mile to point out good restaurants and make sure we had other Anchorage “must sees” on our list.
Magnificent service and experience. Tour exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend. Brittany you rock!
Absolutely wonderful tour. Our guide was Perfect! Loved the scenery and transportation was very comfortable. Our guide was so impressive and full of knowledge about the tour sites and overall Alaska.
Good to have this last minute activity in Anchorage. Enjoyed the tour mostly at Alaska Wild Conservatory Center. Needless to say, Britney’s such a great guide, which made the tour fun-filled and informative at the same time.
Brittany, our tour guide, was fabulous. We requested an airport pickup as we came in just an hour before tour start time. She is very passionate about what she does and it showed in the stories she told about various places we visited. The wildlife conservation park was excellent. Overall great experience, we highly recommend it.
Had an incredible tour to see wildlife at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and beautiful nature / sunset views!! Brittney was an awesome guide and very knowledgeable about local animals, Alaskan history and culture, and more. Brittney knew so many animals at the conservation center by name, and knew their backstories! Would definitely recommend and look forward to coming back again soon!
Brittney was very accommodating and super knowledgeable about the wildlife, local geography and culture. We got to see a baby moose, an eagle, a reindeer and lots of glaciers!
I was in Anchorage only for a couple days wondering how I could make the best of my time out there. This was hands-down one of the best tours I've ever done and the highlight of my very first trip to Alaska. Brittney is an amazing tour guide. She is knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. I loved every bit of the Turnagain arm drive up to Girdwood. Visit to Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center was magical. She was very accommodating in making stops when I wanted to check out different sights along the way. I loved that I got to grab a hot drink on the way back at a cafe in Girdwood as well. This trip would not have been the same without Brittney. She helped me have an elevated experience of the whole thing. I can't recommend this enough. Incredible value! PS: I took all these pics using my cellphone Pixel 6A.
LOVED this tour!!! The guide, Brittany was awesome, friendly & knowledgeable. She knew all about the wildlife at the conservation center. She evens knows the bears by name. The drive down the Turnagain Arm at sunset will go down in my mental memory book forever. It was kind of cloudy but it made it that much more beautiful.
