Me and my family had a great day in Prince William Sound we saw a family of Orcas and Humpback whales too. Plenty of Sea life on this 4 hour excursion, Sea Lions and Walrus, and birds. Lots of drinks and snacks on board and less than 20 tourist made for ample space and a comfortable ride. more

Must tour Prince William Sound if in the area. We used Prince William Sound Cruises and Tours out of Whittier. Fantastic 6 hr tour with abundant wildlife, great naration and knowledge by the captain. A good lunch provided in the pkg. Courteous staff! This is where we saw more wildlife than any other area or tour. more

Food service (chicken, hallibut, or a vegetarian option that must be called ahead for) was fast and friendly. Bar service was also available. Coffee... more

I took the ferry from Whittier to Valdez, and lucky for me it was a beautiful day. We saw quite a bit of wildlife and the Columbia glacier (receding quickly). Great experience! more
