Whittier (RV day 17 : Tue Jun 3)

Today, we took a boat cruise of Prince William Sound to see glaciers! We left the RV at the campground and drove the rental car to Whittier, AK. The Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel from Portage to Whittier is only open 15 minutes in each direction per hour and costs $12 for cars and $35 for RVs 28 feet or longer. After making our way through the tunnel, we parked the car, checked in for our cruise, and walked around Whittier until boarding time. Whittier is a small town, so walking around the harbor front only took about half an hour.

The cruise with Major Marine Tours was great. It was a beautiful day with clear skies and we viewed several glaciers (although sadly no glacier calving). The onboard ranger was very knowledgable and the $19/person prime rib and salmon buffet was excellent. After the tour, we were tired so we headed back to the RV park to rest. We might stop by the nearby wildlife center or Forest Service visitor center tomorrow morning before heading to Seward.
