Welcome to Alaska Limo Tours


Experience Whittier Alaska
Whittier - Anchorage or
Anchorage - Whittier Highlights


Take this popular one-way tour on your way to Anchorage or on your way to Whittier, or drive with us round trip just to experience the breathtaking views along the Seward Highway.

Anchorage - Whittier

Start in Anchorage (see also our tour of Anchorage) and enjoy this informative tour on your way to Whittier. Enjoy the views along the Seward highway which has been designated a National Scenic Byway – the views indeed are stunning. Just south of Anchorage, the road borders Potter Marsh, a portion of the Anchorage Coastal Waterfowl Refuge. Take a quick walk on a boardwalk trail above the wetlands, with interpretive signs. Continuing South on the Seward, Turnagain Arm stretches on the right side of the road. Stop at the waysides, where often you can see Dall sheep or beluga whales. Check out the progress of salmon fisherman below the bridges along the highway. Next stop is at Girdwood at Alyeska Ski Resort. Take a tram up the Alyeska Mountain 2,300 feet to enjoy the spectacular views of Seven Glaciers and have a quick lunch. Step down and head to the Crow Creek Mine, where you can pan for gold or just enjoy the national historic site. Continue on the highway, view the remains of Portage, a small town ravaged in the 1964 earthquake. Next visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, where you can view bison, elk, eagles, moose, caribou, and musk oxen in a natural setting. Our last turn in on the Whittier/Portage Glacier Access Road that connects Seward Highway with Whittier. Glaciers from an earlier period carved the steep mountain slopes in this magnificent valley. Explorer Glacier can be seen high on the mountain. A stop will be made at the Begich Boggs Visitor Center to see the glaciology exhibits and enjoy a 20-minute film, “Voices of the Ice”. You will also have the opportunity to take pictures of glacial ice that has calved into Portage Lake. Pass through the 2.5-mile-long Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel and arrive to Whittier.
