We had a great day! Christina, our driver and guide, is passionate about this area and packed so much into our time with her. We loved everything about this tour. We certainly appreciated the upgrade we received, which brought us to Portage Glacier and boat excursion. Christina had everything planned and timed perfectly, with stops for photos and even bakery goodies. She’s so proud to call this area her home.

This was a great tour. It was more than seeing animals. The ride to the Conservation Center along Turnagain Arm was both informative and fun. It was a 70 degree sunny day when we met our van with about 10 other people at the Eden Center which was about 3 blocks from our Hotel Captain Cook. Our guide/driver was terrific and tried to help a group of folks who were very confused about what tour they had booked. We made several stops and our guide told you as much or as little as you asked. When you go on this tour you will understand WHY going out on the mud flats can be fatal, that’s if the ghost trees don’t catch you first!

Really enjoyed this tour. Phil was VERY knowledgeable about names and histories and pointed out many different animals and things we would have missed. Nice laid back tour about 4-5 hours. Relaxing tour.

Review We had an amazing time on our Planet Earth Adventures tour! We booked the 11-day Alaska Discovery Tour, and it was phenomenal. Albert was our guide during the first half of the trip, and Phil was our guide for the second half. They were both so sweet, exceptionally knowledgeable, and also punctual and very reliable. They made our trip so stress-free, we didn’t have to think about any logistics or worry about how to get around - they took care of everything. That coupled with their expert knowledge of the region, we really feel like we got such an added-value by booking with Planet Earth. It was worth every penny, and we had the trip of a lifetime thanks to Albert and his team!
