Things To Do | Discover Valdez

Guides & Tours

Tourism is well-established in Valdez with long-standing guiding outfits to trust for your adventure. Glacier Cruises are among the most popular, with the added bonus of spotting wildlife in Prince William Sound. For a more up-close look at a glacier, venture out with a small group kayaking tour to Shoup Glacier, Columbia Glacier, or Valdez Glacier. 

Helicopter tours offer an exciting journey for landing high on a glacier or seeing waterfalls, sparkling blue glacial pools, and wildlife from a bird’s-eye view. For something different, take an ATV tour out to discover the Chugach Mountains, Thompson Pass, or Mineral Creek Valley. Additionally, hire a guide to get into the backcountry for heli-hiking, ice climbing, packrafting, or multi-day backpacking trips.
