PandasRUs Posted June 11, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 11, 2010 In Anchorage we have one day between the end of our cruise/tour and when our plane leaves. We are looking at some day tours. One option is a city tour of Anchorage and bus trip to Portage Glacier. The other option would be Prince William Sound. Any advice or other suggestions?

Chenega Posted June 11, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Prince William Sound would be my choice. Go with the longer trips that include Barry Arm and Esther Passage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandasRUs Posted June 11, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Thanks for the input. Looking at our options, it looks like we need to use Major Mairne Tours or 26Glaciers. It appears that 26Glaciers does cover Barry Arm and Esther Passage. I can't tell if Major Marine goes there or not. So at this point it looks like 26Glaciers. Also, travel to Whittier - would the train or bus be better? The bus is less expensive, but the train seems like it might be more comortable and fun. We will have been on a lot of train and bus rides on our cruise/tour (Hal #3) so we will probably be tired of them both by that time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are talking about a short transit- 2 hours on the train, 1 1/4 hours on the bus. They parallel each other- pick one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chenega Posted June 12, 2010 #5 Share Posted June 12, 2010 The other company that does Barry Arm and Esther Passage is Prince William Sound Cruises and Tours (http://www.princewilliamsound.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
