About this experience
This is one of the most amazing drives of your vacation! ...I'm Kel Thompson, the owner/operator and your tour guide! Yes, I do all my own tours (and stunts!) I've guided over 10,000 guests for multiple companies in my career here in Alaska and now offer my own private tours in an amazing new Mercedes Sprinter! Before guiding I was a standup comedian and combine humor with a fervent love of Alaskan history, and this all goes into your cruise transfer, which goes through the historic Anton Anderson tunnel and down the mountain lined Turnagain Arm! Along the way, we'll pull out for photo stops and a coffee if you would like! (Time permitting.) I am very flexible and want to make this part of your journey just as fun and memorable as the rest of your vacation! I have limited availability so book early and message me any special requests via the app you booked on! (I can accommodate private groups up to 10 people per tour.) I look forward taking you from Whittier to Anchorage!

Transfer from anchorage to Whittier for a cruise.
Kel was very efficient. Picked us up early and got us to the ship on time. Learned about the area with lots of laughs as well along the way.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I'm glad we got you to your cruise on time and that you enjoyed learning about Alaska along the way. It was a pleasure sharing some laughs with you, and I hope you had an amazing cruise. Safe travels, and I hope to see you back in Alaska someday!
via Tripadvisor
Great trip.
Kel was great. Communication was great leading up to the transfer, always a quick response. He transferred us from the port terminal at Whittier to Anchorage, but also did a few stops for us along the way that we had requested. Very knowledgeable explaining things along the way. Can’t recommend highly enough.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words and recommendation! I'm so glad you enjoyed your glacier adventure. It was a pleasure joining you on the tour alongside the glacier guide, and I'm happy you had such a great experience. Wishing you safe travels and hoping to see you again on a future Alaska adventure!

Kel is a wonderful driver/guide to go from Whittier to Anchorage
Kel gave my wife and two grandsons a wonderful tour from Whittier to Anchorage airport. We started at Portage Glacier lake, with a spectacular view of a glacier flowing into the lake. Kel gave us lots of background on the glaciers, how glaciers formed and how the scene changes from winter to summer. He took us to the Alaska wildlife conservation center to see a variety of Alaskan wildlife. Then after a lunch stop, we took a gondola ride to the top of the Alyeska ski resort, with spectacular view for snow, cap mountains, and verdant valleys. Finally, he took us to Lake Hood to see the sea planes landing and taking off. At each activity, he gave us lots of information and told funny stories about Alaska and his experiences in Alaska. We couldn’t have asked for a better transition from a seven day Princess cruise to our flight home. Kel is a great and considerate guide.
Response from the operator: Super enjoyed showing you, your wife and your grandsons around Alaska! I think I learned more from you all than you did from me :) job perks! Thanks for taking a moment to leave a review!

Private van is worth it!
Quick and easy transportation from Whittier cruise port to our hotel in Anchorage. Driver was very accommodating to our schedule. Drive was pleasant with a lot of background and history of the state and areas. Water and chocolate included!
Response from the operator: Glad it all worked out and was a smooth experience for you! Thanks a million for posting the review and letting others know that a 'Private Van is Worth It! :)

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Whittier to Anchorage Private Cruise Transport, Up to 10 Person: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Whittier.
How much does Whittier to Anchorage Private Cruise Transport, Up to 10 Person cost?
+
Prices start at $1150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Whittier usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Whittier to Anchorage Private Cruise Transport, Up to 10 Person take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Whittier is not rushed.
Is Whittier to Anchorage Private Cruise Transport, Up to 10 Person worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Whittier, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Whittier to Anchorage Private Cruise Transport, Up to 10 Person?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Whittier to Anchorage Private Cruise Transport, Up to 10 Person suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Whittier to Anchorage Private Cruise Transport, Up to 10 Person?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Whittier can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Whittier and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Whittier to Anchorage Private Cruise Transport, Up to 10 Person start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Whittier within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Whittier?
+
Whittier, AK packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Whittier by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Whittier experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whittier Cruise Transfer with Wildlife&Glacier tour to Anchorage, Whittier to Anchorage Half Day Transit Tour From the Port, Whittier to Anchorage Wildlife Extravaganza. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Whittier?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Whittier, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Whittier?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
