About us
Throughout our history, this idea has delighted countless guests of all ages from around the world and delivered appreciation and awards. In a world of big box tours and commercialized Alaska experiences, we continue to deliver genuine and authentic Alaska hospitality, day tours, and tailor-made multi-day travel packages. It’s a small tour philosophy and a customized experience that provides lifelong memories every season of the year.
SAFETY FIRST
Salmon Berry Travel & Tours is fully insured, well above what is required for our business, and our drivers carry the proper training and licenses to guide you through Alaska! This standard is very important to us and we hope it is to you, too!
SUSTAINABILITY
Salmon Berry has made a commitment to the environment in an effort to keep Alaska pristine for future generations. We have designed our tours to have minimal impact on the communities that we visit; from our reusable water bottle initiative to our rechargeable hand warmer initiative, to our naturalist-led Anchorage Eco Tour, we empower our team and our guests to join us in a sustainable tourism mindset. As stewards, our team has donated personal time to partake in local trail building/restoration projects and city-wide clean-ups. We have partnered with the Renewable Energy Alaska Project on their Tour Green Program and the Beluga Whale Alliance as a part of their collaborative research to support local organizations striving to make a difference.
What we'll do
Following pick up at your hotel or the Salmon Berry Tours office in downtown Anchorage, sit back in our comfortable and clean Sprinter vans as your Alaska driver guides you down Turnagain Arm, an All-American Road, and National Scenic Byway. Look out for hanging alpine glaciers, Dall sheep in the Chugach Mountains, and Bald Eagles. Beluga whales can be seen during the summer and autumn months along Cook Inlet and Turnagain Arm!
Tour the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, a 200-acre natural habitat dedicated to wildlife education and rehabilitation for some of Alaska’s favorite animals. We will drive and walk approximately 2-miles through the Conservation Center’s trails as you get close enough to observe some of our favorite land mammals; moose, reindeer, bison, wolves, and more! While we cannot guarantee bears due to the size of habitat and seasons – they are traditionally hibernating in the winter months – you could see them in summer and on sunny warm spring days. Make sure to take photos of wildlife with the amazing backdrop of the Chugach Mountains and Turnagain Arm!
Before returning to Anchorage, stop at the conservation center’s gift shop.
Complimentary snacks and water are provided throughout the tour.
To enhance guest experiences, hotel pick-ups are limited to three hotels per tour, based on a first-come, first-served basis. Book now to confirm your hotel pick-up!
