Icy Strait Point seems great for the adventurous excursions but if you want to tour the town, at this point you're better off staying on the ship. There is not much to see there.

This port is a total waste of time! It is merely an attempt for the cruise line to sell excursions!

Not much to do or see here. You can do whale watching here, but we did this in Juneau. They JUST opened a zip line that was an awesome ride. The views going up the mountain to the zip line is worth some of the cost alone because you get to see the town and residential life and more beautiful vistas. The zip line is very cool as you are flying over the top of the forest. EVERYONE was doing it, even 83 year olds! I don't like that they call this port Icy Straights when it is actually Hoonah, and in talking to some of the locals you can tell they are offended by this. There is nothing in town to see so I wouldn't take the shuttle into to town.

this port was a little different, it was really small. We did need to be tendered on shore, but that was kind of fun. It was very quick and we were on land in no time. This port was the one place we did plan an excursion. It was the ATV ride. Our guide was very informative and told us about Hoonah. It was a blast, the trail was a little rough but thats what made it so much fun.

A very small town of Native Americans. I liked it. The visitor center was small but nice. Had the chowder and chili. Not bad. Walked around a bit. I avoided the "world's longest zipline" but others said they really enjoyed it. Did the wildlife hike here. Really not much of a hike at all, but the local guides were wonderful, funny, and clearly passionate about their culture. And we saw three grizzlies in a matter of moments, two with cubs. So though the actually excursion didn't last all that long, it was well worth it and one of my favorites.

Disorganized. We almost missed the whale watch because the guide from the bear watch gave us blue tickets with a handwritten 2:30 PM departure time for the whale watch and the boat left at 2 PM

Great enterprise by the locals. Went for walk into Hoonah town which was an eye opener. Also the zip rider was worth seeing.

The weather was fabulous which made this day wonderful. We were blessed with numerous whale sightings and took time to take a bike ride and hike.

saw many whales from the ship. People who paid for whale watching tours actually came back out by the ship. We saw them as well or better than the tours. This port uses tenders to get to shore. Not much on land here.

Only one ship is allowed to dock at a time, so it's not crowded. Very small port, but they have a great Zip Line. There are beach trails and nature hikes you can take on your own. Lot's of cannery history, and also lots of shopping, of course!
