It was Amazing! Alan who was the Captain was extremely personable and likable as well as being very knowledgeable as he shared wild life, geographical and historical information regarding our itinerary. In addition the crew did an excellent job. Everyone was extremely nice. We saw lots of wildlife. We got really close to Meares Glacier and witnessed multiple calving events. It was amazing

The Stan Stephens Glacier and Wildlife Cruises is a must when visiting Valdez. The crew does a GREAT job of taking care of all passengers and the captain goes out of his/her way to look for wildlife and the best views along the sound. It's a comfortable boat and they even serve a lunch.

Beautiful experience getting to see all the amazing wild life! Eagles, Sea Lions, Cute Otters, Puffins,Whales (Mom and Baby—just swimming), and a short sighting of a Black Bear. BUT the BEST part was the Glacier!! Such beauty!!!!!

The highlight of our time in Valdez! Our Captain, Amanda was incredible. Her knowledge of the area was astounding. Her passion for the area & state of Alaska was ever present. Beyond Amanda, the crew was spot on. They were knowledgeable and so friendly. Getting as close to the Mears Glacier as we did was a real treat. We were fortunate to encounter a pod of 9 orcas. What a joy it was to watch them. The cruise exceeded all our expectations. A bonus with the cruise is the bagel breakfast and the great lunch. It was a day well spent and a day that will be remembered for a very long time. Thank you to Amanda and the crew for making it so special.
