"26 glacier cruise - Fantastic experience from start to finish. Lunch was great, staff was excellent, Forest Service ranger was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge, etc. The glaciers - many of them - up close and spectacular. I took the Alaska Railroad to and from Whittier as a rail / cruise package. Train ride was a wonderful experience as well. Highly recommend this cruise and company."

"Our Glacier cruise was fantastic! My wife and kids (9 and 6) had a great time on the 3 hour 45 minute cruise to the Blackstone and Beloit Glaciers. The views were amazing and we got real close and saw multiple calvings. And they fished out huge chunks of glacial ice for the kids and adults and you could get glacial ice margheritas. The provided lunch of salmon chowder was delicious and the warm chocolate chip cookies after were really good. Overall it was a wonderful experience, thank you!"

"This was a really fun experience, and we saw a lot of wildlife. Initially the windows on the boat were really foggy, so we spent a lot of time wiping them with the squeegee to see. I wish I'd known that we'd actually stop at some of the glaciers, so I didn't need to waste my time doing that. The timing of the tour was great. They brought out a tasty seafood chowder while we were headed toward the glaciers, and once we finished we got to see all of the glaciers. They stopped at each one for a reasonable amount of time for photos. It was a really relaxing and informative tour."

"Absolutely amazing experience, worth the price. I would recommend taking the bus from anchorage. They make several scenic stops. Leland I'm a very beautiful clear day and was able to get super close to the glaciers. It was awe inspiring to see the glaciers that close. We also got to see plenty of wildlife. On the bus we saw moose, and on the cruise we saw sea otters, a humpback whale, walruses, and my favorite- seals!! I was slightly disappointed that we got interior seats but there is plenty of deck space and we could still see fairly well from our seats. It was such a nice day and we're young and able-bodied so we spent a lot of the time standing on the decks. The narration by national park ranger was so informative. The food on the cruise was amazing. The fresh seafood chowder is something I still think about months later. I actually asked the kitchen for a second serving and they were kind enough to give it to me!"

"A “must do experience “!! Great boat, service was very friendly, the ranger that narrated our tour was a wealth of information. Captain Chris was very fun to chat with too. The scenery was beyond compare. Surprisingly good food for an afternoon tour too. One of the best adventures during our Alaska tour."
