Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska Port Reviews

Seafood Feast and Tribal Dance Show-very interesting and weather was nice

Unless you are into sports and sport activities and have purchased an excursion, there's absolutely nothing to see or do in that port. We were in the port, viewed, did the Tran ride, looked around and back on the ship in an hour and a half.

Whale watching at port made it worth while, not much to do at port.

Great whale watching

Was a substitute port from what was originally purchased and was not worth the very short stop.

One of the worst tours we had. Whale watching was a joke, guy had a 1400HP boat and drove 20 mph to the view, while we watched other boats go fast to watch the whale breaching. Drove so far away from land it was impossible to see anything even with binoculars. Then went to see bears that were not there. Met a couple at dinner on board and they took a private tour and saw 10 times as much for the same cost. Town was really amazing. I suggest they quit charging $50/person to ride a gondola, when it is running constantly with no one in it. Kind of stupid. $50 for a pair maybe, anything else is a ripoff. Nice walking trails.

Did an excursion with Glacier Wind Charters. We got to see Hump Back Whales feeding and playing. Only disappointment was the rainy/foggy weather. Cannot control that though or the wildlife.

We took the shuttle into town and enjoyed the memorial walk back to the ship

Saw orcas and humpbacks on excursion. Could have done without the one sexist guide and his sexual innuendo. No one on our boat was Tlingit and we had no time to shop after the excursion

Watched whales and saw many.
