- Whittier to Anchorage Tour & Transfer
Overview
Your guided, small-group transfer from Whittier to Anchorage kicks off with a convenient pickup at the cruise terminal. Be sure that you're ready at pickup time, you have a tunnel to catch! The tunnel out of Whittier is 2.5-miles long with just enough room for either a lane of traffic or the train. It's quite the engineering marvel to take in as your tour takes its turn leaving Whittier.
Scenic drive along Turnagain Arm.
When you emerge on the other side it's a short drive to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. This animal rehab center is home to some of Alaska's most beloved species, including moose, caribou, musk ox, wolves, and bears.
After your guided walkthrough of the conservation center you'll continue another half hour or so to Girdwood for lunch and a ride up the Mt. Alyeska tram. Your cruise transfer concludes with scenic drive along Turnagain Arm and drop-offs at the Anchorage airport or your area hotel.
