waste of time...ship has a contract with the community. Not a lot to do; town is extremely small.

This is a place being developed for tourism. It's a fine port for an unspoiled view of Alaska, but there are better places for viewing the wildlife or seeing native Alaskans. While it is not over-developed or commercial, it has a Disney-like feel to the renovated cannery and carefully planned gravel paths. Once you leave port and head into town, there's really nothing there.

Nice relaxing stop. The guide on bear tour was very good and entertaining. Her knowledge of local culture and people was very interesting. We did see bears and bald eagles but you need telephoto lens to get close-ups.

Stroll the beach and the nature walk. Saw some eagles. Not much here. Do the zip line if you like an adrenaline rush. I missed out on this.

tourist trap, nothing to see other than a few excursions... We did the Wildest Kitchen excursion which was really good, but a tad overpriced (as all excursions are)

Nothing worth while unless you want to go to Alaska for a zipline. Took the bus to Hoonah which is a dump and dangerous in my opinion given their crime statistics and demography.

Go off early and explore and then shop. Stores will ship items home for you for minimal cost.

Very small port but a nice change from the commercialness of the other ports
