About the only option is a glacier cruise. There is really nothing in Whittier. I sure miss the days when Princess went to Seward, there is LOTS to do there

Me to.

 

He is absolutely right. But there is something there it is called RAIN. I think about 300 or so inches a year.

 

We stayed at their deluxe hotel 2 years ago w/grand daughter taking the Coral down.

 

Scheduled the Phillips 26 glacier tour, huge catamaran, we departed traveled maybe 10 miles out. Turned around and came back, raining so hard you couldn't see. Cancelled, returned to hotel watched the rain.

If you are into walking and want to experience spectacular views of Whittier and vicinity look into hiking the Portage Pass Trail. The clouds though are sometimes "on the deck" limiting visibility. We have done it and yes, in the rain. I like the review by Parke Cannon at www.akhs.atfreeweb.com/Hikes/PortPass.htm.

We did the 6-hour PWS cruise with Prince William Sound Cruises & Tours: http://www.princewilliamsound.com/579.cfm We did it as a day trip from Anchorage, but it would be a good time filler between b2b cruises out of Whittier.
