Wonders Abound

Keep an Open Eye

The ferry route between Valdez and Whittier runs along some of Alaska's most beautiful coastline and through an area rich in sea life.

Because of its relative shallowness many marine animals come to Prince William Sound to feed east summer and the sound supports many year round residents as well. Favorites to see on the ferry ride include humpback and minke whales, orcas, and Dall's porpoise.
