Hoonah Whale-Watching Cruise

Overview

Embark on a small-group, 3-hour whale watching and wildlife sightseeing tour from Hoonah, Alaska in our custom built vessels with heated cabins and restroom. Every season humpback whales come in large numbers to Hoonah to feed on the nutrient-rich waters of Glacier Bay and Icy Strait before migrating south again for the winter. The whale population begins to arrive in Hoonah in May, and stays through September.

We had an amazing experience on the Hoonah whale watching cruise. The boat was safe and it wasn’t such a large group which was nice because we had a great view of the whales. We saw sooo many whales it was incredible. Our guide Paul is a local and what a great guide he was! His knowledge of the whales and stories of the area really made our trip memorable. Dont hesitate to book with Hoonah travel adventures probably the best thing we did in Alaska.

Hoonah is a small town or village with big docks for cruise ships. The cruise ship docks are called Icy Strait Point, buts it’s part of Hoonah. Capetian Paul and his deck hand were very friendly and explained all the facts about whales we didn’t know, like all the humpbacks don’t go to Hawaii in the winter and they are easy to find because they tend to stay in the same area. When a humpback surfaces and exhales the spout or blow is visible for miles when the visibility is good. When their fluke rises into the air they are starting a dive and will be down 5 to 15 minutes. We enjoyed the excursion and will do it again. We saw orcas, humpbacks, porpoises, and seals.

It was amazing. Not only did we see humpback and orca whales but we saw huge otters and seals. They went far beyond what was expected.
