This is one of the most amazing drives of your vacation! (Either direction you're going, I got you covered!) ...I'm Kel Thompson, the owner/operator and your tour guide! Yes, I do all my own tours (and stunts!) I've guided over 10,000 guests for multiple companies in my career here in Alaska and now offer my own private tours in an amazing new Mercedes Sprinter! Before guiding I was a standup comedian and combine humor with a fervent love of Alaskan history, and this all goes into your cruise transfer, which goes down the mountain lined Turnagain Arm and through the historic Anton Anderson tunnel! Along the way, we'll pull out for photo stops and a coffee if you would like! I am very flexible and want to make this part of your journey just as fun and memorable as the rest of your vacation! I have limited availability so book early and message me any special requests via the app! (I can accommodate up to 10 people per tour.) I look forward taking you to OR from Whittier to Anchorage.

We had a fabulous experience with Kel. Large water bottles and Alaskan flags awaited us in his comfortable van. Kal is friendly and knowledgeable. He was quick to point out bald eagles and mentioned we might spot beluga whales in one stretch of our trip. He pulled over and sure enough we saw a pod of 20-30 belugas. He knew the best stops for restrooms on our 2 hour ride. Took us to bag drop for cruise then took us to a local coffee shop and finally dropped us at the sea life museum as we had extra time before we could board the ship. He gifted us with a bag of local chocolates which were delicious! Kel made sure we understood how to access free shuttle system before he left us. We happily leave a five star review. He has our highest recommendation!
