We really liked it but you should get some excursion here as it's pretty remote. We booked the ATV ride but i didn't book it soon enough and the 11 a.m. ride was cancelled and so we went on the bear tour. Here you take a ride on a bus through town and then to some remote area and you go for a very asy walk on a maintained trail through the woods. There we saw 4 bears, one lone older male coastal bear coming up from the water into the woods, and we also saw a mother bear with 2 cubs. On the way back to the ship we went over a bridge and stopped because there was a bear in the river up a aways from us that someone spotted... We sat there for a bit and that bear came closer and closer to the bridge and finally went beneath us. There was another bear also that was a bit downriver from us. If you want to see bears meandering around, this is a good your for that. Watch your step on the trail...bears do poop in the woods and profusely. Very pleased with the tour.

Such a beautiful place, we just walked around on our own and went through the museum and we’re happy that we got off the ship. My wife stuck her toes in the water to see if the name lived up to itself!

If you can physically walk to town, do so...the walk is beautiful and once you are in town, take the time to visit some of the native shops. Meet the people, they are really great. You can get a real since of how these people live, and can appreciate the wonderful beauty they live in. Eagles abound...you will not have to look long before you see them.

We loved this port. Friendly and clean. A shuttle runs from Icy Strait Point into the little town of Hoonah for $2 one way. Not a lot to see there but it was interesting to watch a totem being carved which will represent the story of how the native people settled in Hoonah. Icy Strait Point has lots of gift shops in the old cannery and a huge zip line which we didn't try.

This was a very special stop for me on my Alaskan cruise. I did not book an excursion. I just walked off the ship right into the lovely and short nature walk through the forest. I strolled slowly and took it all in. It feels like you’re in a fairytale! Then I walked down to the beach, sat on the rocks facing the ocean, and watched the wildlife. I saw at least 6 eagles, one of which scooped down into the water and picked up some lunch. There were seals swimming right in front of me, and whales bubble feeding in the distance. I sat for about an hour, quietly, just appreciating how beautiful it was and how grateful I was to be able to see it. Then I went up to the lodge and had a cup of hot chocolate to warm up by the fire. From the ship, I saw whales bubble feeding and saw a couple breech. No need to even leave the vessel! Icy Strait Point is a quiet little stop, but a beautiful place to just sit quietly, reflect, and enjoy beauty. I don’t know about you, but it sure didn’t look anything like where I live!
