The town itself is tiny, with little to see or do in the town itself; highly recommend either an excursion or renting a car. The area around is stunningly gorgeous. We really liked the Thompson Pass and Worthington Glacier bus tour.

This port was canceled. It was replaced with Hoonah. It was definitely 5 stars. We had so much fun there.
