Alaska's Original Glacier Jet Ski Tour
Highest Safety Standards
Safety is our number one priority. We pioneered these tours into Blackstone Bay and continue to have the highest safety standards on the water.
Premium Gear
We provide high quality breathable dry suits, life jackets, and full face helmets with in-helmet communication to ensure safety and comfort.
Immersive Experience
Experience the untamed beauty of Prince William Sound’s Blackstone Bay on a 60-mile round trip through changing ocean conditions.
Drive yourself to a tidewater glacier.
No jet ski experience is required. We take lots of people who have never driven a jet ski before, and our guides are well trained at getting people comfortable. It's a 60-mile round trip, going 35-55mph on the ocean.
When does the wildlife show up?
Unfortunately, we can’t plan the wildlife! Most trips we’ll see sea otters, sea lions, kittiwakes and other birdlife. Occasionally we’ll see whales, bears and even mountain goats.

Expert Guide
Ranked the #1 adventure in Whittier.
"It’s a good thing they don’t have a 'pay what you think it’s worth' policy because I would’ve emptied my bank accounts after doing this. One of the most incredible experiences, truly once in a lifetime. There are so few places in the world you can do something like this, so if you’re in Alaska and thinking about it, JUST DO IT."
"I'd never been on a jet ski before. After the briefing I felt safe the whole way. Our guides were well trained at getting people comfortable on a jet ski. Most people feel like pros with a little help from our guides!"
"Glacier Jetski Adventures were the pioneers of jet ski tours into Blackstone Bay. We loved the family-owned vibe and knowing we were out with the first and most experienced tour operator in the area."
Don't Forget the Tunnel
Whittier is accessed through the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel — a single-lane, alternating-direction passage shared with the Alaska Railroad. Arrivals open on the half-hour, departures on the hour.
