Whittier Cruise Transfer With Wildlife&glacier Tour To Anchorage

Needed transportation for 17 family members from cruise terminal to anchorage airport. We needed 2 coaches who stayed together all day. Good guides. Well worth the cost!

Great guide and stops!! Taylor was awesome and super engaging!! Highly recommend whenever in Anchorage!!

great stops. knowledgeable and very kind. gave us ample of time to explore each area we stopped at. i would use Ty again if we came back to Alaska.

Communication was excellent. Taylor was our guide...he made it very interesting and we had lovely scenic stops and restroom breaks along the way.. He took us to see an incredibly beautiful waterfall...we really enjoyed the stop to the Chocolate Shop. I would highly recommend as a way to travel from Princess Cruise disembarkation in Whittier to Anchorage, AK.

This was a great way to get to the airport post cruising . Taylor was our driver and he was great about pointing out nature and some history of anchorage and Alaska. We stopped along the way and enjoyed each stop.

Hands up best tour I had in my 10 day landcruise tour in Alaska! Geoff is very passionate being our tourguide/photographer! He even speaks Tagalog my kabayans. He truly made our tour worth every cent! Bonus we get to see the Denali mountain peak which is very rare on a clear sunny day on mountain top Anchorage. He brought us to off beaten path places that are amazing. Highly recommended👍

It wasn’t the best of days for a trip with weather conditions obscuring views. It felt a bit long and drawn out overall but that could have been the weather and the waiting around. The guide was knowledgeable but never gave clear instructions on time to load back in causing delays. Lunch spot was great and we saw a lot of scenery.

We highly recommend booking this tour and cannot speak highly enough of our guide and driver Taylor, who made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. Taylor contacted us by message a day prior to our disembarking at Whittier from our cruise. It made things so easy when we disembarked as we knew exactly when and where to meet Taylor. We were able to wait inside the terminal and kept warm and dry knowing Taylor would contact us when he arrived in the parking lot. All went very smoothly in what was a very busy and crowded terminal. Taylor took us on a great full days excursion stopping at points of interest and a chance for photos and great views. We really enjoyed our stop at the Wildlife Conservation Centre and had plenty of time to see all the animals. A great stop for lunch without being rushed. Taylor made the whole experience really enjoyable with his willingness to share his knowledge and his warm and pleasant manner. He made sure we were dropped off right to the door of our accommodation. We thoroughly recommend you book this tour if you are needing a transfer from Whittier to Anchorage as you will get to see so much along the way. Thank you Taylor for an amazing day.

Great narration. Beautiful scenery. Diverse views. Good way to kill time waiting for late night flight.

Very informative and a great experience Not sure why this they want me to write a 100 word answer? ? ?

Our driver was Kylee. She was absolutely fantastic. She showed us everything that was listed in the excursion description and more. Very conscientious about people's needs and things that we would like to see. Once we made it to Anchorage, she dropped us off wherever we needed to be. The gentleman behind me said it was the best excursion he had ever been on. Thank you Kylee!

Our group of 7 friends enjoyed our tour with Kylee as we made our way from the cruise endpoint in Whittier to our airline terminal in Anchorage. Kylee was cheerful and talkative and gave us a local’s perspective on various sites and local issues. We saw glaciers, an animal sanctuary (the highlight), a bird sanctuary, a local gift and candy shop, a brewpub for lunch, and a scenic walk into a rainforest. The trip was about 7 hours and we learned and saw quite a lot.

Amazing experience and is a must specially if you arrive in Whittier in the early hours and have many hours to spend time before your hotel check in or flight. Ideally you would have an 8pm or later flight . Best use of time getting close interaction with bears , moose etc and seeing nice views and doing hikes ! Our first stop was to see Salmon in the water ! Geoff, the tour guide is amazing with a wealth of knowledge !

Our driver, Geoff, was absolutely amazing—we can’t say enough great things about him! We were blessed with phenomenal weather, and Geoff made the most of every minute of it. He took us to so many incredible places with breathtaking views, shared tons of interesting facts and stories, and went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better driver or a better way to experience the Anchorage, Alaska area! ❤️🏔️

Our driver, Geoff, picked us up right on time in front of the cruise terminal and then showed us various sights around Anchorage, going over the originally scheduled time. It was a great tour that allowed us to get a good understanding of Anchorage's nature and other attractions.

Taylor was a fantastic tour guide. We had a great day enjoying all the spectacular sites on our way to Anchorage from Whittier

Kylee was very friendly and accommodating to our group. It was a great way to see glaciers, waterfalls, turning an arm along with a stop for lunch at a very nice brewery

Lots to see and learn along this tour. Ye was a great guide. Beautiful scenery, fun facts and lots of animals too!

You do see some sights but it was a long day and after the cruise we both agreed that it would have suited us better to just go straight to airport and take an earlier flight home.

Taylor did a great job taking us to many interesting locations and giving us background information on the area. It was the perfect way to spend some time before our flight.

We booked this excursion to avoid sitting in the airport for 12+ hours. Ye was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of the area and was so kind to share his knowledge with us and to answer any questions that we had. We especially enjoyed the 2 mile hike and the wildlife refuge. It was so much better than sitting in the airport!

Great way to get back to airport after cruise if you have the time. We saw many glaciers, waterfalls, bears, moose and other animals at the conservation, and beautiful scenery while learning about the area from our guide Lee.

We had a relaxed walk to Byron Glacier, was nice, especially within half hour after getting off the ship.

a Free form excursion that gave the traveler a great taste of Anchorage and the sorounding area. The virgin falls were the highlight of the day Luncg at the brewery was a great addition that we did not know was on the tour.

We went on a cruise and took this excursion from Whittier to Anchorage. Our driver was very nice and informative. We got to see some of Alaska we would not have seen on the cruise. This excursion was awesome!

This was a fantastic way to transfer to Anchorage. Geoff was amazing. He took us to several hidden locations. He was a great tour guide and provided us with a wealth of information. Communication skills were also excellent. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

Great all day excursion for after a cruise! Lots of great spots visited between Whittier and Anchorage. Great if you have an evening flight out of Anchorage. Our guide Kylee was great!

Highly recommend this airport transfer tour. We took this tour at the conclusion of our cruise in Whittier and picked up a rental car in Anchorage for more touring on our own. We were met by our guide, Echo, outside the cruise terminal who handed each of us a generous snack pack as we boarded the van. They will find you at the cruise port, don't worry! Your guide will carry a sign with the tour company name (Alaska Horizon Adventure) on it and call out your name looking for you. My husband and I were on this tour with our 22 year old son. We were joined on the tour with another 6 people all from the same family celebrating a 50th Wedding Anniversary. Age range of the entire group was from about age 12 to late 70's. Echo, our tour guide, did a great job of keeping things interesting for everyone and we never felt like we were missing out on anything due to the ages of the people on the tour. We hiked the Byron Glacier Trail, a two to three mile round-trip, out and back hike. Again, this was something easily managed everyone on the tour and as it was raining, Echo made sure that everyone was up for hiking in the rain and would have adjusted the schedule accordingly if not. A stop at the Wildlife Conservation Center was followed by a lunch stop in Girdwood where we enjoyed some wonderful pizza. Following lunch, we hiked the Virgin Creek Falls Tour which was a short 1/2 mile out and back hike in a coastal temperate rainforest. It was absolutely gorgeous! We also stopped at Potter Marsh where we saw a moose, a bald eagle's nest, and salmon in the river. Since none of us were rushed to catch flights home, we spent about a total of 7 hours on this tour, which for us, made it easily the tour that gave us the most bang for the $'s spent. It was very enjoyable, we appreciated being able to get out and walk around at each stop. We were never bored, nor did it ever feel like this tour was too long. Highly recommend this tour!

Very nice tour. Great sample of many things from Whittier to Anchorage. Glad I took this route instead of the train. Our driver/guide Lijuan was very knowledgeable about Alaska, very upbeat and happy to answer any questions you may have. Also great recommendation on dining for that evening.

This is more than just a transfer with a tour!!! From before Kylee even picked us up, she communicated and was nothing but personable and positive! We were 2 of a total group of 10 from our cruise, tired but excited. Kylee pivoted when necessary without batting an eye. She really got to know us, and tapped into what we liked, and were able to Do being so tired. She even gave tips of the best places to eat and see in Anchorage for those of us staying at a hotel and not flying out that day. I can’t say enough about how great it was!!

Perfect paced tour / transfer from the cruise ship in Whittier to our hotel in Anchorage. Loved the wildlife refuge and the photo stops. Pizza for lunch was very good. Our local guide / driver was very entertaining and informative.

We had the best last day of our cruise, experiencing the best of Anchorage. Taylor was full of knowledge about the area and took us to see many things not on the itinerary. The ride was comfortable and he took us to a great spot for us to get some lunch. He had a bag of snacks for us when we first got on the bus. He also had car seats for the two little ones in our group.

Excellent experience! We had a great time going to see live animals in sanctuary and the gorgeous views along the way. The tour was relaxing and fun .

Excellent excursion after disembarking from our cruise ship. First of all the reservation was easy to make and being able to pay later (right before the trip) was a nice advantage. Our guide; Kaylee did an awesome job, from being in touch with us prior to our pick-up, taking us to several different places along the way before our last drop off at the Anchorage airport. She was very personable and shared some amazing stories along the way. Since our flight was leaving at midnight and we had to be off the ship by 9:00am, I felt this was the best choice since it involved 8 hours of seeing more of Alaska on our final day. The other excursions which the cruise line offered were only 1-2 hours long.

This was a fun way to spend a day, Leona our guide did a great job of being flexible with the weather and changing itinerary to fit the day. Was picked up on time, there were three other parties with us. We went to hotels and airport at the end. Everyone got to were they needed to be. Enjoyed seeing the bears and mooses, bird hike where we saw eagles. Would recommend.

This was such an amazing day! Geoff was so friendly and knowledgeable - he is a resident of Anchorage. We had a small group so he was willing to take us to even more stops than anticipated. We had plenty of time at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center - we were able to do a complete tour and see all the animals - amazing!!! Fortunately, we had great weather and equal desire for adventure. Thank you Geoff for everything!!!

Best decision. Checked all the options to get to Anchorage and chose this tour. We saw so much more than expected and even got information on things to do after we were dropped off at our hotel. Restaurant recommendation was perfect. Worth every cent..

Lee was amazing. Very considerate of what everyone wanted to do, felt like a private tour. Van was comfortable and even though I was in the back seat, easy enough for me as 80 yr old to get in and out of. Only issue was the confusion as to where to meet driver in the chaos of anchorage cruise terminal.

Kevin took great care of us. We made lots of stops. Possibly a little more than expected. Most of which were very entertaining.

It was a great tour that showed some cool points of interest, Alaskan beauty, animals, and a good route from Whittier to the airport. Our guide was great! Highly recommend Kevin.

Geoff was an awesome tour guide. He communicated very well prior to our tour. It’s very apparent he loves Alaska and his job of sharing the big sites as well as some local sites. His knowledge of history, geography, local lore, etc was incredible. Thanks Geoff!!

Great day with on time pick up, saw lots of wildlife, had a hike, neat lunch stop and fun guides!

This guided tour was amazing. Honestly, it was the best part of our 7-day cruise in Alaska. Geoff Rockwell is one of a kind! He took so much time and consideration for us and the entire group to give us the best tour experience anyone could've asked for. He went above and beyond all expectations. He took us to awesome scenic spots that weren't too busy with other tour groups, and he had all the secret gems waiting for us in his back pocket. Some of the most beautiful sights we saw in Alaska were on this tour, especially in the rainforest. Geoff is very knowledgeable about the history and significance of the beautiful places he shows you. He engages everyone to try to get the best experience for the group possible, and learning about the history and facts was great. I cannot overstate how awesome this was and how good of a guy Geoff is! Look no further and book this tour while you can! Sincerely, Gianmarco from Ontario—your neighbor from the north, but actually very south :)

What can I say about our above and beyond tour guide, Geoff that has not already been said. As a born and raised local he knew all of the sweet spots that were hidden gems like you wouldn't believe. We felt absolutely spoiled with everything that we experienced and you could truly feel his passion for what he does, on top of him just having a naturally warm personality. On top of the tour, we didn't stop there...after he dropped the other guests off at the airport, my husband and I had time to kill so we asked that he bring us to one of his favourite bars, he kindly took us to the Moose's Tooth which had great local beer and stone baked pizza made from scratch. Still not done...out of the kindness of his heart he offered to pick us up when we were done our dinner and bring us back to the airport so we wouldn't have to worry about Lyft or Uber. We absolutely accepted his out of this world generosity and made a new friend in Anchorage, Alaska. Knowledgeable, friendly, trustworthy, dedicated and welcoming. 10/10 for the adventure and Geoff. Thank you again for everything, Geoff! -Natasha

Daniel was knowledgeable and very accommodating of our group. Even though the weather didn't cooperate, we still had a great experience and appreciated the flexibility of having our own driver & vehicle for the day.

Awesome trip and experience. Geoff gave us a fully guided tour of all the cool spots between Whittier and Anchorage, as well as an in depth Anchorage tour. Very pleasant and knowledgeable guide

Prepare for walking in wet weather as you move from ship to the airport. Realize that some ticket counters only open 3 hours before your flight - so find a place to rest with your bags until check-in.

We had beautiful weather on our cruise, but it rained throughout this tour. Oh well. Our tour guide, Taylor, did a great job of showing us what he could given the weather. He was able to drive through AWCC and we got out of the vehicle at spots in which the animals were close to the fence line. Lot's of great photos taken! Unfortunately, we did not see belugas at Beluga Point, but that's nature. Since our stops at various spots were shortened by the weather, we were able to stop at Alaska Wild Berry products which was great!

Super convenient pickup with a lot of great stops along the way. The weather was not ideal on the day we arrived, but we pushed through and still enjoyed the day. The AWCC was a great opportunity to get some up close animal photos. The Potter Marsh allowed us to see some wild moose and a Bald Eagle. Definitely was better than just straight to the airport. (American Airlines counter didn't even open until 6pm) Leona was great guide!
