Best Of Prince William Sound
Join us on a journey highlighting the very best of Prince William Sound. This is our most comprehensive tour. Once aboard we’ll discover your personal priorities and design the day to customize your experience. The day could include the thrilling experience of cruising among the numerous glaciers in Harriman Fjord and to the face of towering tidewater glaciers. Or cruise into the heart of Prince William looking for humpback and killer whales. Most cruises include both glaciers and wildlife, but this adventure is up to you. We know where to find all the best sights, but how long we spend and where we focus our attention is up to you. During the trip we will find a remote beach to go ashore for some tide pooling or a short walk into this northern most rainforest. Other wildlife you can expect on this full day excursion include, sea otters, harbor seals, sea lions, Dall’s porpoise and plenty of sea birds including puffins! If we’re exceptionally lucky, we might even spot some whales if the timing is right!

6 Hour Wildlife and Glaciers
Cruise to the western side of Prince William Sound with us as we take in the wildlife, birds, and glaciers of this scenic area. We’ll look for puffins and a sea lion haul out area, visit Lake Bay and view commercial fishing in action at the Wally Norenberg Hatchery, then motor to Blackstone Bay and witness the majestic cliffs of Beloit and Blackstone glaciers. Keep an eye out for harbor seals and sea otters who like to use the bergy bits of ice as a resting block and scan the shoreline for black bears and deer, occasionally seen from the boat. A day in this marine wonderland will leave guests with a deeper understanding of the glaciation process and its effects upon Alaska’s landscapes and environment.
