Review:

Valdez is located at Prince William Sound, 5 hours from Anchorage, where it provides a stunning mix of natural beauty including glaciers, rainforests and mountains. The area is a joy to explore and promises an excellent chance of wildlife sightings and outdoor adventures. Nature-lovers flock to Valdez in the hope of catching sight of Orca and Humpback whales, sea-lions, otters and birds. Summer adventure activities include kayaking expeditions to explore ice caves and waterfalls or scenic helicopter tours. You can go fishing or cycling or opt for a leisurely wildlife or glacier cruise. There is plenty to see close to Valdez including the Chugach National Forest (great for hiking and wildlife watching) and the very scenic Cooper River Valley.
