This one-way transfer from the Seward Cruise Terminal to Anchorage is an excellent add-on for guests cruising to Alaska.
To start your worry-free trip, we'll pick you up directly from the port in our 28-passenger shuttle bus. You'll want to have your camera ready for our scenic drive. You'll love hearing your guide's expert narration and personalized stories about the area.
This tour begins with a scenic drive through the Kenai Mountains. We'll make a stop at the Canyon Creek overlook for a can't-miss photo opportunity.
The highlight of this tour is our stop at the famous Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center! The AWCC is a nonprofit providing care and rehabilitation to Alaskan wildlife. Typically, these animals have been orphaned or injured and come to the AWCC for a permanent home.
The Center is home to many species including brown bears, black bears, moose, porcupines, and Sitka black-tail deer. On this tour, you'll also learn about local conservation efforts, like the AWCC's collaborative effort with the Alaska Dept. of Fish & Game to repopulate western Alaska with wood bison after a 100-year absence.
We'll drive up Alaska Route 1 alongside the Turnagain Arm shoreline, one of the country's most beautiful scenic drives, as we approach Anchorage. Finally, we'll drop you right off at your hotel or Anchorage International Airport.
Non-cruise guests may utilize this tour as well.
Please note that this tour only runs on Mondays and Fridays.

Dan, our tour guide was great, very friendly guy, helped out with loading/unloading our big luggage. He made a special stop to see the Salmon run and hatchery, incredible to see that for real. Dan provided a good deal of information along the drive which I thought was very useful. The route from Seward to Anchorage was very scenic with fantastic views.
Wildlife tour was within a conservatory, similar to a zoo but the animals there had lot of space, as close to their natural habitat. We got to see bears, moose, caribou, wolves.wood bison etc.
Bus pickup at cruise terminal and airport drop off were super convenient and as expected.
