Columbia Glacier & Wildlife Day Tour
1-6 Guests
Description
This tour is approximately 9 hours long and will provide excellent views of the scenery and wildlife between Valdez and the breathtaking Columbia Glacier. On this cruise you'll enjoy a spectacular ride along giant icebergs.
Once we have toured the Columbia Glacier region, we will cruise around Glacier Island and stop along the way to see the local Stellar sea lions.
It's also very common to see sea otters, seals, orcas, humpback whales, Dall's porpoises, puffins, sea ducks, eagles, bears, mountain goats, and many other animals on our cruises.
Since we are limited to 6 people per trip and require booking the whole boat, we are able and willing to customize the route and timelines to maximize your experience.

Will E
Captain Will retired from the U.S. Air Force in May 2016 after providing military meteorological services for over 20 years. He grew up in Northern Minnesota and has had a passion for the outdoors since he was a child. In 2001, he moved to Alaska while serving on Active Duty and immediately fell in love with all the incredible opportunities the 49th state has to offer. It didn't take long before his love for the ocean grew and he found himself on the water as much as possible. Captain Will's meteorological knowledge, experience fishing Alaskan waters, and his love for sharing what Alaska has to offer makes him the perfect candidate to help you enjoy your next Alaskan adventure.

In the event of a small craft advisory (25 knot winds or greater) in the Gulf of Alaska, we will assess the weather and discuss alternatives with our clients (to include fishing inside the more sheltered waters of the Prince William Sound). Fishing tends to be a little slower in the sound, but we still manage to catch plenty of limits and good sized fish.

- Mechanical Issues: In the unlikely event we experience mechanical or other unforeseen issues, we will refund your entire charter fee, if issues arise before we make it out fishing. If we make it out fishing and issues arise after we have completed fishing, we apologize for the inconvenience, but will do our best to to accommodate your needs and get you back to port in a timely manner.
