Overview

Enjoy a smooth and scenic small-group transfer from Whittier to Anchorage with an experienced local guide. Travel in a comfortable Mercedes Sprinter, hear fun and informative narration about Alaska’s history and wildlife, and enjoy brief scenic photo stops when timing allows. Our 8:15 AM pickup is perfectly aligned with the 8:30 AM Whittier Tunnel (and your cruises 7 - 8a disembarking time) making this the easiest, most reliable way to reach Anchorage after your cruise.

This is a new listing for Whittier, however book with confidence I have 35 - 5 (all) star reviews on Advisor and Cool Alaska!

    Whittier

    As you disembark your cruise ship in Whittier, your transportation is already waiting at the terminal to take you on a smooth, scenic journey to Anchorage. Whittier is one of Alaska’s most unique port towns—surrounded by mountains, glaciers, and deep fjords, and accessible through the famous Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel. You’ll board a comfortable Mercedes Sprinter and enjoy narrated commentary about Whittier’s history, WWII origins, and stunning natural surroundings. After loading luggage and getting everyone settled, we depart the port area in time to align with the 9:00 AM outbound tunnel. It’s a relaxed, stress-free start to your day as we head toward the dramatic coastline of Turnagain Arm.

    Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel

    As we leave Whittier and begin your journey toward Anchorage, we travel through the famous Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel—one of the most unique roadways in the world. This single-lane, 2.5-mile tunnel runs straight through the Chugach Mountains and is shared by both trains and vehicles, offering a dramatic and unforgettable transition from Prince William Sound into Alaska’s wilderness. Your driver times the departure to align with the scheduled outbound opening, making the experience smooth and stress-free. Enjoy narration about the tunnel’s WWII origins, engineering, and its role in connecting Whittier to the rest of Alaska. Emerging on the far side opens into breathtaking views of mountains, waterfalls, and the start of the scenic Turnagain Arm.

    Turnagain Arm Drive

    After emerging from the tunnel, we join the famous Turnagain Arm, one of Alaska’s most dramatic stretches of coastline. Towering mountains rise straight from the water, waterfalls spill down the cliffs, and there’s always a chance to spot wildlife such as eagles, moose, or Dall sheep along the rocky slopes. As we travel toward Anchorage, your guide provides entertaining narration about the region’s history—stories of early explorers, powerful earthquakes, and the unique tides that make Turnagain Arm one of the fastest-changing waterways in the world. With stunning views around every bend, this scenic drive often becomes a highlight of the journey, offering great photo opportunities when timing allows.
