Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska Port Reviews

I love that this port is still pretty much just natural Alaska. We went on a private bear watching excursion, and although we didn’t really see a bear, it was beautiful countryside and we saw giant salmon leaping and a Blacktail deer. Loved our driver as he had grown up there and knew all about the area. He was also very knowledgeable about the local plants and the fact that with a little knowledge you could survive in Alaska without starving to death. Also had some interesting stories to tell.

Took the tram up to the top of the mountain. It was beautiful up there but not really anything to do, but look around. We also took the other tram to the shopping area. It was a cute area and easy walk.

Did the Seafood Feast & Tribal Dance Show, it was pretty good, got a nice Crab leg lunch after the show, very nice place for such a short stay.

Small port. You must have an excursion. The whale watching is amazing!!

Cute village. Rained hard. Lodge restaurant closed for private party.

Not an impressive port. Arrived late at night and only there a few hours...not much to do.

Whale watching amazing!!!! Wished we would have stayed longer to explore hoonah. Highly recommend whale watching at this port!!

This was our first time to visit this port. While walking on the pier/gangway to go ashore, whales were already in close sight. I had read that this port was known for whale watching, but thought an excursion was needed. Not today! Things to do , gift shops , gondola ride, Duckpoint Smokehouse and the long Zip Line. Hoonah is close by for those who want to go.

Rainy, foggy day. Relaxing day on board.

No Diamonds International here! The oddest cruise port we have ever seen! Remote and quaint. Enjoyed touring the old cannery and meeting someone who actually grew up in one of the THREE houses there! Maybe my favorite stop...
