This is really worth the $$$. Just short drive, really up-close with the glacier ! Enough time not to give bored. Magnificent!
We did the classic train adventure ride the last time we came and missed this! We could just get this Portage cruise instead. Thisbis really beautiful! The staff are nice and knowledgeable!!! A must see tour!
This was a great getaway tour from Anchorage! It's a beautiful drive up Turnagain Arm to the glacier. The Ptarmigan Cruise gets you close to the glacier. The Captain and crew were very knowledgeable. It's absolutely beautiful, I would highly recommend this tour
An hour drive to the glacier. The guides on board the board were informative and entertaining! Pickup was convenient and on time. Beautiful morning and driver made quick stop at Willawaw Creek to see all the salmon in the river.
Breath taking views! Wonderful Portage Glacier cruise experience! Loved that the vessel got super close to the glacier! Thanks Matt!
INCREDIBLE views on the drive from Anchorage, great boat ride right up to the glacier, and knowledgeable and informative guides all around. I learned so much about the geography and history of the area. The ease of the trip with the van transport was a great bang for your buck, and I couldn't recommend this excursion more!!
I definitely recommend this tour! Our driver & boat captain, George was really funny & engaging! He narrated the sites on the hour drive on way to the boat, which made that so much more than transportation! The ride on the boat was fantastic, we got up very close to the glacier and even got to see it calve! Our tour was sold out that day but the boat did not feel full or crowded at all. There was plenty of room around the rails for everyone to see and take pictures.
I’ve already made notes on my personal itinerary that I share with friends that this is a must do!
Excellent experience, the commentary was interesting and fun. We had good weather and the views were incredible.
Tour guide George was excellent he was entertaining and informative! The whole crew did a really good job.
I was so glad that I took this tour. We were able to see the glacier up close. The narrator was extremely informative about not only the glacier, but about the entire area. Very wonderful tour.
