Glacier Bay Day Tour - Obscured view for everyone.

Glacier Bay Day Tour

(2 reviews)

The Glacier Bay boat tour was a disappointment. This boat is too small for the number of people…read morethey pack on, and there are no outdoor seating areas to use during the cruise. Over six of the seven hours of the cruise will be from your seat inside the boat, looking out the windows which have limited visibility. The boat also picks up Kayakers 30 minutes into the start of the cruise, and to my astonishment they stacked the kayaks at the front of the boat, blocking the front windows for everybody sitting there. I raised this concern to the staff on the boat, they acknowledged the issue, but did nothing to correct it.. When we got back seven hours later, I spoke to the front desk manager (Ryan Rivers) at the lodge where we bought the tickets and inquired about a refund. Rivers looked at the picture I had and said "if it was me, I would've gotten up and moved to a different seat". I informed Rivers that all perimeter seats were taken, and that the onus should not be on me, but rather they should place the kayaks flat on the deck and not stack them obscuring everybody's view. Rivers then gave me the "deer in the headlights" look when I asked his opinion on whether this was intrusive to those there for a sightseeing cruise. He refused to consider any sort of refund, even though he agreed that the visibility was impeded by the stack of kayaks, based on his response. The boat does have an upper deck platform, but that is only available while the boat is stopped, which is less than 10% of the time of the cruise, and limited to 30 people at a time. So when we did stop to see a whale or wildlife on the shore, the majority of people weren't able to go up to the upper deck to see it (we had over 70 people on the boat). When we did arrive at the glacier, we were over a mile away, so that was nothing spectacular either. So if you take this seven hour cruise, realize it'll be like sitting in a bus for seven hours. Save the $600 and enjoy the views while you're on the Alaska Marine Highway ferries. We did do a three-hour kayaking tour with the Glacier Bay Sea Kayaking Company and that was fantastic. So if you're in Gustavus, that's what I would recommend.

An 8-hour boat tour to view wildlife and glaciers in Glacier Bay National Park that departs and…read morereturns daily in the summer from Bartlett Cove in Gustavus, AK
