Hubbard Glacier Wilderness Exploration

[stvntra]

Hi again - it's me, your friendly excited pest! 🙃

 

I just booked the Hubbard Glacier Wilderness Exploration while we are in Hubbard Glacier.  Has anyone booked that on your trips by chance? I was just wondering if it's worth the money and if it's a great experience.  It looks like a great time, and we are SUPER excited about it, but thought I would get others' opinions here as well, so I have some insight ahead of time if possible.

 

Thanks in advance as always! ☺️ Only 2 days to go!!

Any chance your going to be on Sunday's Solstice out of Vancouver also? I have not done the Hubbard Glacier Wilderness Exploration, but have been to Hubbard Glacier at least 4 times. Everyone I've talk to after the tour really enjoyed themself. You board the boat from the cruise ship. Sunset in Alaska and Hubbard. 3rd photo you can see the boat you should be on.

Thank you SO much bigbenboys.  Yes, we will be on the Solstice this Sunday out of Vancouver.  These photos are AMAZING, thank you SO much for sharing!!! 🙂 The picture of the boat helps as well.  I am not sure when we would get back to Alaska again in the near future, so I felt like this was one of those maybe "once in a lifetime" excursions we HAVE to do while we can! Will you be on this cruise as well?

Yes, we will be driving from Seattle up to Vancouver on Saturday. The photos are from June 2022. If you want, stop by and say hi. We are on deck 10 suite 1239. Richard and Randy

That's awesome! We land in Vancouver on Saturday around 10:45 a.m. and will be there all day/night until we board the next morning.  Would love to meet you both! It doesn't look like our cabins are too far apart - we too are on deck 10 suite 1215! 🙂

One more thing. Are you doing the ziplining at Icy Strait Points. It takes two Gondola rides to get to the top.

We have taken the Hubbard excursion operated by Allen Marine; it is one of our favorites. We usually take the excursion while cruising with Princess and have always had a fabulous time.  This year, we had reservations for May and August.  May was spectacular (I have included a couple of pictures) but August was a bust as Hubbard was fogged in and the tour was cancelled.  We will be sailing the Solstice next June and I have already reserved the excursion with Celebrity.  For us, the experience outweighs the price. Hope you have a wonderful time.
