Moose Pass Adventures: Private Cruise Transfers

If you’re transferring between Anchorage and Seward, in either direction, Moose Pass Adventures puts a very Alaskan spin on what a transfer experience is all about. The company’s private journeys allow you to make the trip in a direct, relaxed way, or ratchet up the adventure by adding some wildlife viewing, kayaking, or hiking. It’s perfect for cruise ship passengers or anyone moving between the two destinations.

After setting your own pickup location and departure time, you’ll travel in Moose Pass’s spacious vans for your private group, so you’ll have plenty of room to spread out and take in the gorgeous scenery along the way. Plus, you’ll have a professional driver who doubles as an expert guide and offers narration along the way.

The Transfers/Tours

• Scenic Transfer. This 3-hour private tour takes you through jaw-dropping scenery as your driver navigates from Anchorage to Seward or the reverse.

You’ll also visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center—admission included—to see some of the state’s most iconic creatures, like bears, moose, bison, wolves, and more. You’ll even get a sampling of glacier scenery with a detour into Portage Valley and a stop at the Portage Lake Overlook. And if you want to stretch your legs, your guide can even add a short guided hike based on your group’s interests and the weather conditions.
• Kayak & Private Transfer. This 7- to 8-hour private journey between Anchorage and Seward in either direction adds even more active adventure by stopping in Moose Pass for a guided kayak tour across the gorgeous glacial waters of Trail Lake, surrounded by the snow-capped peaks of the Chugach Mountains. The lake’s calm waters make the experience ideal for beginning kayakers or families. You’ll also make some stops along the scenic Seward Highway to capture the most beautiful moments of your journey.
• Hike & Transfer. Perfect for hikers, this 7- to 8-hour journey between Anchorage and Seward in either direction includes two guided hikes to explore Alaskan glaciers, in addition to scenic stops along the Seward Highway. One of those guided hikes is along the Byron Glacier Trail in Portage Valley; the other is a 2-mile hike in famous Kenai Fjords National Park at the iconic Exit Glacier, taking you along the Glacier View Loop to the Glacier Overlook Trail. And because you’re on a private tour, you can customize your hiking options, with your guide making adjustments on pacing and route based on what your group is most interested in and comfortable with, as well as the weather conditions.
