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.

The whale watch adventure was the highlight of all excursions. We were blessed with an amazing captain and incredible wildlife seen in the water and on the shore. Though we were in a covered vessel, we could walk on the bow or stern to get outside and take in a better view. We loved this!

Our guide was fantastic, the boat was very nice and we saw a ton of whales. And our guide was a local, rather than a seasonal worker, so he gave us a ton of information about Alaska and Hoonah. One of the best things we did during our trip!

We were concerned because we passed up the cruise ship tour looking for a smaller tour. This was small, but not as small as we had heard about 20 people, but it was AMAZING!!! I would book this same tour three times over. We easily found the gathering point and Angie was there waiting to take us to our boat. The guideI'm so sorry I forgot his name was SOOOO knowledgeable about the wildlife and even more so about the area. He worked hard to make sure we got to see as much as possible including but not limited to humpbacks, orcas, sea lions, seals, and sea otters. It really felt like he gave us a taste of what it is like to live there. This group also gave great service and allowed us the flexibility to explore the area before providing a shuttle back to the ship at our convenience. They also operated a bear tour and would allow you to combine the two together we wanted to walk around instead. I recommend this tour to anyone who is stopping at Icy Straight Point. Don't be afraid to skip the cruise provided tour. These guys do it better.
