    Today, 9/28/25, was a beautiful, sunshiny day for this tour. Hunter was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of history & geology with us. In addition to the animals at the conservation center, we saw mountain goats, eagles, eagle nest, salmon, and a LARGE mail moose walking along the road. I cannot think of a better way to spend a day in Anchorage and beyond! Thank you Hunter!

    Even though it was raining and cold, the experience was really memorable and fun. I enjoyed the trip very much and learnt a lot about Alaska, and it wilderness animals. Our tour guide, Aaron certainly made us forget about the rain and kept on showing great stuff about Alaska, especially when he determined to show us the sighting of beluga whale. And he did finally,, and we did saw the beluga whale.
