This tour has the time to travel to locations where seals, sea otters, sea lions, humpback whales, orcas, Dall’s porpoise, bald eagles, puffins and more are typically spotted.

On board, our captains will share stories with you about the history of the Sound from early explorers, gold and copper mining, oil shipping, commercial fishing and the 1964 Good Friday earthquake.

Captain Chris awaits the “ooos and ahhhs” from guests as Meares Glacier slowly reveals itself.

Captain Amanda looks forward to the journey up Unakwik Inlet almost as much as the visit to the glacier. In her opinion, “There is not a more spectacular body of water in all of Prince William Sound. The water is exceedingly calm, and the nearshore cruising is amazing.”

Captain Caleb is enticed by Unakwik Inlet’s “quiet serenity and many forested passageways.”

When Marketing & Reservation Manager Selah has the time, she will choose to hop on the Meares Glacier Cruise so she can have more time on the water. “Traveling the extra distance to Meares Glacier increases my chances to see wildlife, especially the Dall’s porpoise, whales, puffins, otters and seals!
