We booked a private tour of Blackstone Bay with Lazy Otter Charters and it was a truly an amazing experience! Ty was our captain and he made our trip really memorable! Super cool guy and very knowledgeable about the area! Our kids (ages 14 and 10) had time of their lives!! This was a huge highlight of our 2026 Summer!

Our trip with Captain Tyler was phenomenal. Perfect sized boat to get up close with whatever we saw or wanted to explore. Being able to be so close (safely) to the glaciers and seeing and hearing them calve was so cool. Captain Tyler made it such a highlight of our trip. Totally recommend Lazy Otter and Captain Tyler. ... read full comment
