Great Glacier Tour Experience. Bus trip was not so great. We boarded the tour/transportation bus at the Alyeska Resort which made a stop for us on the way with passengers from Anchorage. We were told not to get comfortable because other passengers from Anchorage were aboard and had been dropped off a convienence stop for food & bathroom breaks. We were asked to exist the bus and allow them to renter the bus at the stop location and then take empty seats. The problem was several of the passengers traveling together sat separately for comfort and for window access. We were forced to sit in the back and separated for our travel companions because Anchorage people would not move and were upset when forced to share the seat row. Driver could have handled the situation better by asking passengers to open up seats by having traveling couples sit together or having saved seats for passengers the were being picked up. Instead we were told to sit where we could after being made to exist and reload last. The return trip was not much better. The actual glacier tour was awesome. Enjoyed it greatly

Took a coach to Whittier to board the boat. Great experience and coach driver. Gave us lots of history along our 2 hour journey. The boarding process was smooth. They gave us assigned seats on the boat based on when we booked so we were on upper deck with window seat. Lunch of seafood chowder was great. the boat was in beautiful shape. The service was wonderful. They gave us warm chocolate chip cookies at the end. The captain was professional. There is a bar on board so you can have a drink with lunch. We saw orca pods, and humpback whales, seals, sea otters, and eagles. As well some beautiful glaciers and mountains. I would highly recommend this company

Getting close to the glacier was my most favorite! It was absolutely stunning! Never thought that my family and I will see this view in person . Growing up just looking it from a calendar page. I use to just dream about it. Now, it’s for real ! Love it!
