your best day ever starts here
“The Best Day Ever” Tour is your gateway to immersing yourself in the untamed beauty of Prince William Sound like most will never experience. After your morning glacial exploring, you will choose from one of these two unforgettable itineraries, and there’s no wrong way to make this day beyond extraordinary:
Glacier Close-Up Paddling Adventure: You will be getting up close and personal to these incredible glacial blue icy giants. Embarking onto your choice of either stand up paddleboards and/or kayaks, our experienced guides will custom tailor an afternoon of paddling accommodating all skill levels and most ages. You will be able to feel the power of these towering icebergs (safely) and cruise along playful sea mammals for an intimate and thrilling connection with Alaska’s cutest wildlife. Our chef will craft a delicious, specially prepared picnic lunch for you to savor. The real treat, however, is the breathtaking beauty that surrounds you while you dine on a secluded, untouched beach—an experience that perfectly combines culinary delight with the serenity of Alaska's pristine wilderness.
OR
Glacier & Fishing Combo Trip: Start your morning cruising among ancient glaciers, soaking in their serene majesty. Take a moment to relax on the bow, admiring the huge mountains and vibrant fjords while your lunch is prepared and we travel to the hot fishing spots. Our new boat is quite fast, allowing you to have more time fishing and a lot less travel time. Our expert guides will be there to assist (if desired) with any and all aspects of the fishing. We have 6 downriggers, high quality bait and meticulously cared for poles and gear for your use. Get ready for an exhilarating afternoon of trolling for prized king and silver salmon. With every reel, you’ll savor the perfect blend of scenic tranquility and heart-racing excitement. We have a lot of families book this trip!

THE BEST VACATION DECISION WE MADE WAS CHOOSING THE “BEST DAY EVER” TOUR -m.sTACKNIK
how our Glacier Cruise is different…
Intimate + Peaceful: Our cruise is not hundreds of people clamoring around each other for the best view. Our tours offer an intimate experience, typically limited to a couple of families or groups. To ensure comfort and exclusivity, we cap our tours at a maximum of 28 guests.
On Board Gourmet Chef: Our tours are as much about the culinary experience as they are about the breathtaking views. From the moment you step aboard, you’ll be greeted with fresh-baked quiches, muffins, vibrant fruit platters, and quality coffee to start your day. For lunch, we serve dishes featuring farm-fresh produce and locally sourced seafood. Think smoked salmon dips, hearty sandwiches, and flavors that reflect the heart of Alaska—all prepared to enhance your adventure on the water.
Expert Commentary: Learn about the fascinating geology, ecology, and history of the glaciers from our knowledgeable and experienced guides. Gain insights into the formation and significance of these magnificent ice formations as you navigate through the sound.
Wildlife Encounters: If we see a pod of whales, we simply cut the engines and just float along with them. Because we care about your ideal experience and we are not part of a corporate-directed schedule, we can move with the flow of the natural world here. Keep an eye out for wildlife such as seals, otters, sea lions, whales, and eagles as we cruise through the pristine wilderness of Prince William Sound. We also love to eat the seafood, so you can often enjoy fresh shrimp on the BBQ after we check our pots!
Onboard Comfort: Relax and enjoy the journey in comfort aboard our brand new, spacious and well-equipped vessel. Take in the panoramic views from the observation decks or cozy up inside the cabin with a hot beverage as you soak in the beauty of the surroundings.
