Whittier (Anchorage), Alaska Port Reviews

Interesting little port. The tunnel was cool to drive thru.

This was just for embarkation. Nothing there, but by the time the train dropped us off there wasn't time anyway.

Easy disembarkation

We didn't spend time in Whittier except for disembarkation. We did went to Anchorage after disembarkation. We did the Glacier boat ride and scenic fide from Whitter to Anchorage. Would defiantly recommend.

We visited this port in 1994 on an Alaska State Ferry when the only method for driving out of Whittier was to load our vehicle onto a flatbed train car and be transferred through the then rail only tunnel to drive off of the railcar in Portage. We took the 160 mile jet boat tour in Whittier and very much enjoyed the views and proximity to the glaciers we were treated to.

Drop off point....nothing place.

This was our turn around point for a B2B. I went out and walked the "town", then ended up at the creek above town and walked back along the creek, a nice day.

Absolutely worst experience in Alaska- didn't think that was even possible. Spending the night and basically having 2 full days, we were looking forward to having unlimited options to enjoy. We had even reserved a car rental so we could explore. Had to cancel the car due to arrival time. No excursions available. We ended up spending $70 on taxi to the zoo and $70 to return 2 hours later. Had to eat at the hotel then spent 8 hours sitting in hotel lobby waiting for airport shuttle because there were no excursion options that timed with flights. It was a very expensive miserable experience.

No excursions because we were headed to Anchorage airport

Very pretty, just not a lot to do.
