    I actually ended up upgrading to the 26 Glacier tour! It was definitely worth. We had a picture perfect day and saw fantastic beauty all around. I was amazed and astounded. Having the ranger aboard really added and he was very knowledgeable. The crew did a great job!

    We went in late August - weather was windy, wet but the sun came out in the latter half of the cruise. We took the Quest (shorter), not the 26 Glaciers (longer) cruise - I think it was adequate time on the boat. The glaciers & waterfalls were really pretty and it was good to see them up close. Saw some otters, a seal, and a bald eagle, otherwise it was a quiet trip animal wise. Going on the shorter cruise allowed time at the end of the cruise to wander around the (very) small Whittier town... The transportation was comfortable. our driver was informative and kept a stream of tidbits going all along the trip so we weren't bored. Lunch was so-so, enough so we wont be hungry.

    **The Most** inaccurately described trip I've ever taken on Trip Advisor. Instead, maybe consider the 26 Glacier cruise as all of your "adventure time" is actually waiting for them to leave an return. This one however is the more expensive trip of the 2 and by far incredibly disappointing. All time spent on the boat became easily forgotten when you have to wait equally long post trip (with no where to go or dry to sit) for your bus. The description also advertised they welcome service animals, but then we were also ridiculed for "not getting the prior okay" to booking & we almost were not allowed on the bus. And lastly, we have to wait an additional 45 minutes to leave because the 2nd driver did not have an accurate manuscript of riders & was waiting for authorization that never came so thank goodness he was still kind enough to let them board. Neither bus ride was narrated either as promised and the topper was an hour late return. So 12 hour day for a 3.5 hour boat ride that the caption rushed through to make it back for a "5:00 bus", furthering the frustration and confusion.
