Glacier Quest Cruise from Whittier

This six-hour cruise departs from the coastal town of Whittier and navigates the stunning Blackstone Bay, a deep-water fjord surrounded by tidewater and alpine glaciers. You’ll see significant glaciers like Tebenkof Glacier and Northland Glacier, providing a dramatic backdrop as you observe the unique movements of glacial ice, often accompanied by the sound of calving.

Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the chance to spot sea otters, Steller sea lions, mountain goats, and possibly whales throughout the journey. The drive to Whittier along the scenic Seward Highway complements the excursion, offering access to breathtaking views en route. Layered clothing is recommended, as conditions can change rapidly on the water.
