Weather
The weather in Alaska can be interesting at best. We have many microclimates and weather conditions can change rapidly! The weather will not stop our tours, however safety will! Temperatures can range from 50-70°F/10-21C and winds can be from a light breeze, to strong a gust. Rain is not a problem here as we get a lot of it throughout the summer months. The rain typically is a slow drizzle (similar to Seattle).
Accessibility
Most areas are wheelchair accessible with easy short walks on flat ground. The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is not completely wheelchair accessible. It is flat ground and easy to walk around. We will be driving from exhibit to exhibit, so you will still be able to see the different animals from the vehicle.
Refund Policy
For a full refund, cancel with at least 24 hours notice. With less than 24 hours, refund is not possible as tour can be rescheduled.
