This tour was extremely disappointing. The main purpose that we took this cruise was so that I could see Whittier. I had read all about it and wanted to see it. Our travel agent purposely asked this company if we would see Whittier as this is what was important to me. She was told yes. When we got in the van, we headed directly out of town. I inquired about seeing the town of Whittier and the tour guide said we had to get out of town and go through the tunnel right away. I told him that seeing Whittier was my main reason for being there and he proceeded to tell me about it. I told him that I knew all of that, and that was why I wanted to see it. He continued to drive through the tunnel and out of town. I didn't get to see any of it. The headset that he used didn't work. We kept telling him that those of us toward the back could not hear what he was saying. That didn't seem to matter to him. He did nothing about it. Also, we were in a van that had a very big step and was nearly impossible to get into. He should have had a step stool along to help. There was an 80-year-old lady that had to be lifted in and out every time we stopped, and we stopped at least 7 times. Overall, it was a disaster.

very little organization for pickup at the port and I had to ask not to lose my trip to anchorage, I ended up traveling with another driver who was not the one they had assigned, at the end of the story, the trip was concrete, but it was very stressful to go asking about the operator back and forth.

This was an excellent transfer. Really it was more of a tour in itself and not just a transfer to the airport. Leona with Beluga did a great job keeping us interested and stopping at all the interesting spots along the way!

We needed to get from Whittier to Anchorage from our cruise ship to the airport. The small Sprinter Van and the smaller number of passengers allowed for a private tour that was catered towards us. We were comfortable, engaged and not in ‘a herd’ with others. This was a great way to continue the vacation while we transported from one area to another.

We booked this transit tour from our cruise ship to Anchorage. The tour was great! Geoff was a fantastic guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot of great information with us. I would highly recommend taking this as an alternative to cruise-provided transportation. It will give you a great feel for the natural beauty Anchorage has to offer.

Was very satisfied with such a great Tour guide LEONA. she was on time picking us up an dropping us off. She was very knowledgeable about the tour from Anchorage to Whittier. It was just us with her and it was great. She even named the glacier with no name after my friend Charlene,. so cute. Her photography pictures she took were outstanding. She was so pleasant and concerned of our safety. My only wish was if you could supply water on the trip or remind us to bring something to drink. after the hike we were so thirsty. My only regret was when all the other people got on the bus they were very disrespectful when they would sneeze or cough. never covering their mouth. Think next time i would bring a mask. Thank you Leona for an amazing TOUR.

Best way to see more before your flight home. I ended a cruise in Whittier but wasn't flying out until late evening. This was a great way to see a little bit more of the area instead of getting a hotel room. The smaller busses (no logos, so don't look for them that way) are nice to keep the group numbers low. Lots of walking and Taylor was a great guide/driver for the day. Wildlife, glaciers and lots of stops for photos!

Geoff is probably one of the nicest and knowledgeable tour guides we’ve ever had! He was great with communication and made us feel so welcomed! This tour was definitely worth it and such good use of time since our flight in Anchorage wasn’t until late afternoon. Geoff never made us feel rushed at each destination and got us to the airport in good timing. We could all see how passionate he was about Alaska and sharing so many cool facts about the glaciers, wildlife, etc. I would 10/10 recommend him again!

One beautiful stop after another! If you have a late flight, spend it soaking up breathtaking scenery in Alaska instead of at the airport.
