Lu-Lu Belle glacier tour

On Wednesday Kerri and I spent the day out at sea… sort of. We came to Valdez primarily to take the Lu-Lu Belle glacier tour which had been recommended by so many.  Captain Fred has been taking people on this tour, and on this very boat (the Lu-Lu Belle) since the 1979 and his experience showed.

The cruise is advertised to take 7+ hours with no scheduled time of return. This allows us to see what we want and explore areas without any time crunch. In the end, we returned at 9pm… 11 hours after leaving. I have no complaints about the time though as we got to see a lot, and Captain Fred shared his knowledge of the land for nearly all of the time on board.

From the scenery, local fisherman, harbor seals, otters, whales, glaciers, and icebergs along the way, the tour was amazing.
