This is a fantastic tour! Ben picked us up, right in front of the terminal, in a very nice, new, Mercedes van. It was very comfortable. Ben knows a lot of “hidden” gems, spots for perfect pictures! He also gives you guidance to get the absolutely BEST shots. And he was happy to take some for us, so we could both be in the shot. Between locations, he entertained and educated us with facts about Alaska. He even took us to his favorite ice cream spot for a DELICIOUS flavor we had never heard of before. And, he took us to the best spot for locally sourced, hand-crafted gifts, not all that stuff that says, “made in China”. We honestly believe this is THE BEST way to get from Seward to Anchorage, so much more enjoyable than the big busses!

Enjoy short walks in nature surrounded by spectacular vistas and stop for wildlife sightings as part of your transfer to Anchorage airport or downtown hotels. This small group transfer tour is an opportunity to capture the stunning beauty of Alaska following your cruise. Our objective is to explore unique locations and provide you with great photo opportunities. You'll receive technical and creative guidance from a professional photographer as you traverse the amazing Alaskan landscape along the Seward Highway National Scenic Byway.
