Tours and Attractions

Unparalleled natural scenery is matched only by the abundant activities offered throughout the year. Valdez is home to many glaciers that can be accessed by cruising, flying, walking, driving, glacier trekking, exploration and even ice rappelling. See the beautiful Columbia, Meares, Worthington, Shoup, and Valdez glaciers.

Day-long or extended tours of Prince William Sound will take you to some of the best vantage points for mountains, glaciers, and wildlife. Excursion vessels depart from the Small Boat Harbor for sightseeing and lodge transport. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy both inland and ocean options in Valdez. Kayaking is another way to explore the Sound up close and personal. Fly-outs and drop-offs are possible to remote locations in the Sound and Chugach Mountains. Tours accommodate all ages and skill levels.
