Nice place to visit.

5/5 - Excellent

I love Whittier. I haven't been down there for years but making the trip again reminded me of how much I like everything about it.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Fishing was great with Crazy Ray

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Don't plan on buying any food or wine in stores in town as the prices are more than double what one would find in Anchorage and many of the other towns we visited.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Very small laid back fishing town. You can walk everywhere and just sit to enjoy the view of the water and boats.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Nothing here other than glacier tours which were great.
