4.5Phillips Cruises and Tours(2.886 reviews) - Wonderful Experience Thursday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Boat Tours • Sightseeing Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Rail Tours • Day Trips
The entire experience was amazing. We got there a couple hours before the cruise was going to leave so we walked around Whittier which was so fun. Going through the tunnel to get to Whittier was also pretty exhilarating! The cruise itself was perfect (26 glacier tour). We saw a lot of wildlife (whales, otters, seals and dolphins) and the cruise was so smooth. Our ship was from NYC and had a lot of history which was really interesting. Thankful they shared that history with us. No one got sea sick because the ship rides so smooth but also travels at 36 knots which is a pretty healthy speed. We got great pictures of the glaciers and really enjoyed the chowder that was provided for us. I highly recommend experiencing the 26 glacier tour in Whittier, as I have no negative feedback about the entire experience!See more..
Great trip! This trip could have flopped with any other outfit. On August 10, my son and I were on the six person boat with Manny as our guide. In route to the fishing area we had to turn back due to bad weather and a rough sea state. Manny found a protected spot where we fished for several hours and the boat caught its limit of yellow eye. The weather cleared in the afternoon and Manny moved locations and we caught halibut, cod and then Silver Salmon. Some fishing boats didn’t leave Whittier due to the morning weather. I highly recommend Crazy Rays’s and Manny. They have excellent fishing equipment and Manny is a top-notch a guide who knows where the fish are and how to catch them. My number one choice in Whittier!See more..
5.0Lazy Otter Charters(319 reviews) - Best of Prince William Sound boat tour: truly the best Boat Tours
If you want to spend a day experiencing Prince William Sound, Lazy Otter Charters is the boat service to use. The boat was small – our tour had a total of 6 people – and our excellent captain, Matt, guided us to see the things we all wanted to, stopping so that we could watch a fishing boat haul in a purse net full of salmon, track a whale, and check out seals and otters, and sailing close into inlets to inspect glaciers up close and listen to them crack nearby. The trip was totally personalized, unlike, we assume, the trips in the larger boats. We highly recommend this trip and this well-run company, and Matt especially, with his knowledge and enthusiasm. We had a spectacular day.See more..
Favorite part of the trip besides catching unbelievable halibut was the attention the crew gave me to my seasickness issues. Boat Captain was a delight and her knowledge of fishing in the ocean is second to none. Salt water fishing can be a little tough on me do to my sensitive sea sickness issues. The Captain and Crew were attentive to the water conditions as to minimize my potential sea sickness concern. The Fishing was wonderful!!! I will be booking a trip with Salt Water Excursions every year and will Highly recommend all my friends to book with them. It as a very memorable trip. Thank you Kristen and the crew of Salt Water Excursions. Sincerely long time resident of Alaska, Victor Rod Demoss.See more..
I live and play in Alaska and I've seen and done many of the normal day trips. I had the opportunity to have Capt John and the Tundra bring us on a back country ski trip in Prince William Sound. I've toured around many of the south central ski areas, but this place is incredible. I can't say enough good things. Deepest snow contrasted by Sitka Spruce and tidal lagoons. Pillows, glaciers, you name it. To make it even better, we would come back to the Tundra, and Capt John would have large meals eating for us. All while situated alone in a remote bay with no one else in sigh. There was plenty of room to sleep and lounge. I will 100% do this trip again. the only thing I would change is booking a 4+ day trip instead of a 2 day trip.See more..
I have used Epic Charters for years as my water taxi to travel to a wide array of places in Prince William Sound. Captain Brook has always taken the time to help me plan our trip and followed through with the best service ever. He is always ON TIME, Really helps with the loading and unloading process (Kayaks, gear, food, etc.), parks and secures our vehicles, has excellent water taxi prices, and is extremely competent and congenial. Best water taxi in Central Alaska.See more..
5.0Paddlers' Realm Day Tours(7 reviews) - Great Guide! The trip Exceeded my expectations!! Boat Tours
Ryan took me and three other guests on a "never to forget" kayak adventure on Blackstone Bay! I am so lucky that I came across his business as he is extremely knowledgeable about Alaska and the Prince William Sound area. He made our trip run so smoothly and had every kind of gear needed to make it a safe and memorable day. Thank you also to Portia, a guide who joined us and who helped us to enjoy the experience. Both Ryan and Portia share their joy in being part of nature. We went up close to three separate glaciers and many waterfalls, saw sea otters playing, seals peeking at us from the water, and many birds including Kittiwakes and a pair of Eagles! Ryan provided a delicious lunch, after which we walked to a nearby glacier then more wonderful time paddling on the Bay. It was the best way ever to celebrate my 70th birthday! Thank you Ryan!!!See more..
