★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 19 reviews · 6 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $129

From Anchorage, ride south through Portage Valley to see bears, moose, bison, and elk, then reach Alyeska Resort and its 2,300-foot tram. Expect a small group, guide commentary, wildlife photos, and about six to seven hours on the road. Confirm the tram and guide details before booking.

“Alyeska itself is beautiful and fun, especially if you don’t have a lot of time but want a quick getaway from Anchorage. This really isn’t a tour, though, more like a group Uber ride. You’ll stop a couple places along the way, but mainly you’re just taking a van to Girdwood. When we got out the driver just told us when he’d be back to pick us up, but didn’t really offer any guidance on where the shuttle to Alyeska was, what it looked like, how often it ran, etc. We figured it out, but you’d think they could at least include a schedule or picture of the shuttle. Something.…”
