Glacier Quest Cruise Selbstfahrer
Beschreibung
Fahren Sie auf dem Seward Highway entlang des malerischen Turnagain Arm nach Whittier. Die Glacier Quest Cruise bringt Sie von der malerischen Küstenstadt Whittier zur mit Gletschern gefüllten Blackstone Bay, einem dramatischen Tiefwasserfjord, in dem zwei Gezeitengletscher und mehrere Alpengletscher auf Sie warten. Halten Sie Ausschau nach Seeottern, Steller-Seelöwen, Bären, Bergziegen, Walen und mehr! Sie werden mehrere Gletscher sehen, darunter den Tebenkof-Gletscher, benannt nach Mikhail Demitrievich Tebenkof, einem herausragenden Landvermesser, dessen Karten die ersten Karten der Gewässer Alaskas waren, die 1852 veröffentlicht wurden. Der Northland-Gletscher ruht majestätisch und schmiegt sich an den Rand des hoch aufragenden Berges. Blackstone und Beloit sind Gezeitengletscher, die einen steilen Weg geschnitzt haben, um das Salzwasser des Prince William Sound zu erreichen. Fahren Sie nahe an diese massiven Gletscher heran, um nach verräterischen Anzeichen von Bewegung Ausschau zu halten, die durch das deutliche „Pop“ des kalbenden Gletschereises signalisiert werden.

Reiseverlauf
Addieren Sie die Fahrzeit von Anchorage nach Whittier um 90 Minuten pro Strecke. Planen Sie von Girdwood nach Whittier 45 Minuten ein. Wir empfehlen, den Tunneleingang um 11:30 Uhr am Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel zu nehmen, um Whittier rechtzeitig für die Glacier Quest Cruise zu erreichen. Der Tunnel ist dreißig Minuten nach der vollen Stunde für den Zugang nach Whittier geöffnet. Nach Ihrer Kreuzfahrt öffnet der Tunnel zur vollen Stunde, um Whittier bis 23:00 Uhr zu verlassen.
Die Glacier Quest Cruise fährt 45 Meilen in die Blackstone Bay hinein, wo sieben Gletscher und glitzernde Gewässer einen spektakulären Panoramablick von den Berggipfeln oben bis zum türkisfarbenen Salzwassermeer unten bieten. Bitte checken Sie eine Stunde vor Abfahrt der Kreuzfahrt ein.

Amazing trip out to see glaciers. Incredible glacier and wildlife views. Wow! It was rainy and foggy when we left Whittier but still had amazing up close views of the glaciers. Highly recommend this excursion. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Food was good.

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.

Thank you so much for your recommendation. We believe that is the highest compliment we can receive. We hope you will join us again in Whittier to explore Prince William Sound.
Fantastic glacier quest cruise. The entire staff is outstanding from booking, to boarding, and the time onboard the vessel. The entire staff is professional and personable. They get you up close and personal with the glaciers, sea life and sea birds. The seafood chowder is amazing!!!! We’d book this again in a heartbeat and plan to be back again in the future. Thank you for a wonderful day and beautiful memories!!!!
We can't wait to welcome you back to Whittier to explore Prince William Sound with us again. Thank you so much for your review and letting us be a part of your Alaska adventure!
The pilot was excellent at pointing out landmarks along the way and stopped frequently for longer and closer looks at otters, sea lions, etc. Accommodations on the boat were comfortable and roomy, despite the rainy weather which kept visitors indoors for the most part.
Thank you for your review on Trip Advisor and Google! As an Alaska family-owned business, reviews and feedback let us know what we are doing right and where we can improve. Thank you again for taking the time to provide with yours and for letting us be your guide to Prince William Sound.
This was such as amazing experience. The entire crew were so friendly and helpful. The Salmon Chowder was really good and my friend enjoyed the Veggie Chili. Our tour had us seeing seals, otters, breaching orcas, and a huge chunk of glacier break off. The crew pulled some fresh glacier ice out for us to enjoy in our drinks.
Thank you for sharing your review and experience with us. Sounds like you got to experience everything Prince William Sound has to offer and we are so grateful that you chose us to be your guide to Prince William Sound.
