2023 Series: Whittier

Listen Later

Want to visit Whittier in 2023? Of course you do!

Listen to the audio-only version of this live seminar and Q&A with Lisa, a representative of the Whittier Chamber of Commerce, for accurate and up-to-date information about what's going on in Whittier and the surrounding region this year.

In this episode, we cover:

★ Basic info about visiting Whittier, including getting there and things to do
★ Basics of where to stay
★ Whittier food and drink – and what you *must* try

As well as new experiences to have in Whittier in 2023, including:

★ New boats and glacier tours in Prince William Sound
★ Brand new tour companies and tours to book
★ And a really exciting development coming in 2024...

In the Q&A section, Lisa answers the following questions:

  • What is the best way to get around town if you arrive by train?
  • What suggestions do you have for camping in the Whittier area?
  • If you had to choose a boat tour to view glaciers, which would you do: Whittier or Seward? (I also have a blog post addressing this exact question!)
  • What are some good things to do in Whittier with two little ones?
  • What are the options for visiting Whittier in the winter?

    • Have other questions about visiting Anchorage? Here's what to do:

    1. Head on over to my Alaska Travel Guide – I've got Whittier articles to help you plan
    2. Visit the Whittier Chamber website for official travel resources.

      3. This episode was originally released as part of my 2023 Alaska Seminar Series; it's been edited to remove some content and clarify the episode, but I apologize for any weird cuts or irrelevant info from the original version.
