Anchorage City Fish Wildlife Private Half Day Tour

This short, half-day tour visits the hot spots around the city to observe various kinds of fish and wildlife in their natural settings (not a zoo trip). Frequent stops are made to soak in the sights of moose (year-round) and various migratory birds (May-October) in their home environments along forested trails and meadows, and spawning salmon fill local waters starting in June and continuing through fall and the end-stage of their life cycle. On a clear day, Mt. Denali/McKinley may be seen clearly. Eagles are often seen soaring overhead or sitting perched in trees as they wait to partake in the annual feast of dead and dying salmon littering the shorelines of streams. Sometimes, black and brown bear both may be spotted in certain places and times, usually in early morning or late evening wandering along a salmon stream or through a section of forest. While a few of the locations visited are known destinations, some are more frequented by locals and viewed as the true jewels of the city of Anchorage.
