The absolute BEST tour ever on a perfect, sunny day! We watched and heard whales blow and dive and got to see a young humpback learn the tricks of maneuvering its fins, first with slaps, then to other twists and dives. It quickly moved on to making full breaches, one after the other as mom swam along side. We felt all the joy that the animal must have felt as it flew through the water then into the air. Unlike other trips, our boat was mostly alone, not having to play whale watching warfare jockeying for position on crowded waters. The captain knew exactly where to take us. Thanks for this fabulous excursion! Five stars cannot rate this trip accurately. Even ten would not do.

Pat, thank you so much for your review! It was so great to finally meet you. I’m so happy the whales gave you a great show. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and we hope to have you out again someday!

Excellent outfit and crew. We booked directly with them as they are not a cruise ship cattle boat outfit. Small personalized operation. We had Humpbacks next to the boat Harbor seals multiple Bald Eagle sightings and even a pair of brown bears on a beach. You will not be disappointed if you book with these folks.

This was an excellent experience. Hoonah Whale Tours is an independent tour operator working in a cruise ship dominated area. HWT is captained by Joardan and his wife Maraiya. Their personal approach, care and attention are such positive attributes, but the opportunity to see humpback whales in this area is excellent. HWT's boat is metal and when the whales passed underneath (which doesn't happen often), you could hear/feel the vibrations of their songs...something you won't ever forget.
