Prince William Sound

Prince William Sound is huge! You'll find villages, glaciers, wildlife, ferries, fishing boats, and of course large ships. It would take a lifetime to cover every turn in the Prince William Sound. Stand on the side of the ship that protects you from the wind. Keep everything on a string and tie it to yourself or clothing. Wear layers with a windproof jacket for the most warmth. Enjoy Alaska and take lots of pictures! If this review was helpful please click the Like button.

Beautiful area and scenic from glacier, mountain, water fall and creek

This is one of my favorite places on earth. I love stopping at the top of Thompson's Pass on the drive in. Truly an amazing sight to be seen. And I don't know if it's that "Prince William Sound" has great fishing all the time or if it's my good luck charm (my wife), but we have always done well catching fish! But, my wife always catches the biggest fish on the trip, so you'll need to work on that part, to keep me happy. OK? We'll see you again, soon. P.S. had to post a picture of our friends catch! He's leading the derby for now! Don't forget to get your derby ticket!

After a scenic rail trip booked in conjunction with Cruises, we arrived in Whittier and immediately boarded our cruise vessel. The 26 Glacier Cruise lived up to all my expectations with lots of glaciers, including a spectacular calving. We saw plenty of wildlife, including otters and seals.

For about 8 years we had a boat and spent available weekends hiking and kayaking from our boat in Prince William sound. There are many available protect anchoring spots immune to waves. The hiking and views is world class if a bit rough with few established trails, something we prefered. Once above tree line you can pretty much go where you want although getting to the tree line can be a challenge. The kayaking is also world class. Whales, sea otters, dolphins, bear, glaciers and much more are regularly seen or found. The fishing is spectacular. Hop out to Montegue, drop a line and a few minutes later a halibut dinner is ready to make. Salmon, Yellow Eye, cod and more seemed easily caught and I am not much of a fisherman. The seas here are more protected than most places in Alaska. With Hichinbrook and Montegue Islands actings as barriers we rarely found seas above 4 feet, althoughwe tended to run away or stay away when they were larger, which seemed seldom at least compared to other places. That said we did spend one kayaking only trip on one beach as the seas never calmed enough to do the passages we had planned. The boat launch in Whittier often got complaints. Newbies and the attention deficient would often slow things down. I was once a newbie and remember the patience and guidence some of the regulars had and offered me. In general a little patience and an appreciation for conversation with other friendly people seemed to make it all very acceptable. Even the view from the boat launch is spectacular in my book. As a long time resident of Alaska I find myself in awe of Prince William sound. We have been going there for over 20 years. When we find ourselves in other countries or places with spectacular views and wildlife we appreciate Prince William sound even more. A truly amazing place.

This is just an amazing region! We saw the sound from the land, boat cruise and kayak. There is so much wildlife and beauty here!

Tried hitting it rich here by skimming off that sweet goo Exxon left behind, only thing I got was a bunch of people whiter than myself screaming about trump. I had to basically say I’m gay before they all left. I give this three stars instead of two because a couple of the dudes were in the closet and I got laid by some rich oil weirdos.

loved the whole experience. Everything from the wildlife (sea otters) to the glaciers. It is definitely a wonderful place to explore.
