Best excursion I ever had. Saw some whales really close up. Captain took us to the Columbia glacier 1000 feet’s away. On a different day, you may only get 8 miles away, but it was a really calmly day and we were lucky enough to get this close. The Stan Stephens boat turned back much much earlier than us.

Captain Fred was such a wealth of knowledge. He truly a special love for the Valdez area and Prince William Sound. His passion translates to an amazing experience. The money spent to spend a day with the team was the best value we could have had while in Alaska. you cant put a price on the memories and pictures we were left with. Thanks Captain!

This was the highlight of our trip to Alaska! Captain Fred is knowledgeable, kind, and clearly passionate about what he does. The trip itself was unforgettable. We saw sea lions, puffins, humpback whales,… harbor seals, bald eagles, and many other birds. The glacier was an incredible journey. We were able to get within .25 miles of the face of Columbia Glacier; travelling slowly through the icebergs. The staff then helped us with photo opportunities, and we were able to simply sit and experience the magnitude of where we were. This is a MUST SEE in Alaska. Dress in layers, as it gets quite

We had a great time on this tour. We had originally booked with another company to do a kayak trip to Columbia Glacier but due to Covid, they had to cancel. After a quick search and a phone call we were booked. The boat was small and cozy but we'll maintained. The captain was pleasant with plenty of Dad jokes and his deck hands were wonderful to talk too. The freshly made brownies and soup was an excellent touch.

Worth every penny!! I’m 49 and the most memorable experience I’ve had. The captain and crew were so personable and accommodating. While you can bring your own food and drinks, the fresh baked brownies and muffins were delicious... very reasonable prices compared to other eateries. We saw glaciers calving, humpback whales, porpoise, puffin, sea otters and seals. Breath taking scenery and met wonderful people on the trip.

If you are in Valdez, go on a tour with Lu-Lu Belle!!! I took a cruise tour with them in August, and it was a fantastic experience. Not only are the owners' absolute gems (such genuine and kind people), but their boat staff was attentive and friendly as well. The boat was built by Captain Fred himself, a comical gentleman who made the boat experience more alive and enjoyable. The ship is well kept throughout the years and clean. We were able to see whales, sea lions, puffins, otters, glacier activity, and more.

I'm Jason's wife, what he said is our experience with Megan, Fred and their Lu-Lu Belle to Columbia Glacier. They also provide you a 10% discount for several restaurants in town if you have their tickets. I guess this is the only way for us to help others know their business and that beautiful glacier.
