    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.

    Relaxing

    Parking available off site, about a 10 minute walk. Relaxing trip to visit glaciers. Rain prevents a clear view as there are no wipers.

    Great crew. Good size vessel. While pretty crowded still a good experience. The density of glaciers was stunning!

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    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.
