Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska Port Reviews

What a great place to go whale watching.

This was by far our favorite port! We walked around the whole town, the trail through the trees, and the beach. We found tons of starfish as the tide was really low (which allowed me to play with my GoPro to capture underwater photos and my husband and I flew our drone for a little bit. We shared a whole dungess crab for lunch at The Crab House, which was pretty good!

You should definitely do an excursion here. Not much to do otherwise.

Went on the tram and bus tour at the top. Lovely views and a bit disappointed in the bus tour, very dusty.

Icy Strait Point was very interesting, beautiful and quiet. We enjoyed visiting. We did not do an excursion.

A legit tourist trap built in Alaska. The ziprider is fun, but not much else to do besides that as they are still building the trails....oh and bring your bear spray because they are everywhere, went to go on the hike and we had to be escorted by a guide with a shotgun.

We spent 12 hours in a port that only needed 2 hours to WALK through - I believe this is because Norwegian has a mile long Zip-line not because the port deserves it.

We were there too long. The zip line was too expensive for a 3 minute ride so we choose another whale watching tour to kill some time. It had too many people on board to really enjoy it. I missed many viewings because I couldn’t see over everyone’s heads. The cannery history/museum was interesting but it was really just a tourist shopping spot.

What an amazingly beautiful town!!!

We did a stream fishing trip on our own. Port is always nice, just a nice place to walk around, be sure to watch for whales here they are known to be seen.
