Beautiful views & great staff.. Saw glacier calving & ride was very smooth. The chowder served for lunch was delicious.
This boat can be rocky when the water is rough. Be prepared and you'll have no problems. They have good cookies also.
Plan to arrive early because you could have quite a wait to enter the tunnel into Whittier. I enjoyed my windbreaker on our windy day.
The views were breath taking and the staff helpful, polite, and professional. They made an effort to make our visit exceptional. We enjoyed seeing the wildlife as well as the meal served.
Bad luck with the weather but the excellent service and great staff person's made thr entire experience first class.

Thank you so much for weathering the rain with us to explore Prince William Sound. Your review means a lot to us and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on a sunny day!
This was a great way to get close to glaciers and see the beautiful landscape of Blackstone bay. We enjoyed the lunch and were lucky enough to see otters. Tables are for 4 or 6 people so be prepared to share if you have a smaller party. Plenty of places to view from open deck if you don't want to stay inside the heated cabin. Good value for the cost.

Thank you, Ella! Blackstone Bay is truly a magical place surrounded by the Chugach National Forest. We appreciate your review and for exploring Prince William Sound with us.
Parking available off site, about a 10 minute walk. Relaxing trip to visit glaciers. Rain prevents a clear view as there are no wipers.

Thank you for your feedback, review, and providing this opportunity to improve our guest experience.
Great crew. Good size vessel. While pretty crowded still a good experience. The density of glaciers was stunning!

Thank you for your feedback and review. In peak season it can certainly get a bit crowded and we appreciate your understanding. We hope you will join us again in Whittier soon.
This was absolutely fantastic! We got really close to the glaciers and the boat was smooth. The salmon chowder was yummy, and they even gave us fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies at the end.

Great tour. We enjoyed all that this tour had to offer. The views from the boat were amazing and the captain made sure that everyone got to see everything no matter where you were on the boat. Wonderful tour.
