Hoonah Travel Adventures

"Stopped in Icy Straight during our cruise. This is my second year using Hoonah Travel Adventures. They are amazing. I chose this excursion for whale watching over one offered through the cruise ship because the cruise ship excursion stuffs people on a boat and your elbowing your way to get a look/photo and with Hoonah everyone is able to see. The Captain is a local and is very informative. We saw whales and plenty of them. I would book through them again! You won't be disappointed."

"I’m so glad we went with Hoonah! We had the best time with Captain Paul! We saw Orcas, humpbacks, otters, and much more. He was an amazing captain and had so many good stories to share about the land, animals, and way of life in that part of Alaska. I’ve already recommended this excursion to so many friends."

"We sailed with Norwegian week of 6/17/23 and booked through trap adviser the night before with Hoonah Travel Adventures and highly recommend Denise and her crew. Timely, caring, safe, best whale watching experience by far, heated to thaw the cold away and a perfect size group for everyone to enjoy from all angles of the boat. Thank you again for an amazing experience."

"We had such a good experience with this tour company. Captain Paul was an excellent guide for the journey. He was so knowledgeable and personable. I knew within the first 15 minutes of the tour that we had gotten our money's worth on this whale watching trip and we hadn't even seen any whales at that point! It was really nice being on a smaller boat with less people. The boat was filled to capacity (about 30 people) and we were able to find great spaces to take pictures. Whenever there was an animal encounter, Captain Paul stopped the boat and we were allowed on the front and rear decks so we could take pictures. We saw a bear, multiple humpback whales, sea otters, and sea lions. The transportation from Icy Strait Point to Hoonah and back was on a comfortable shuttle bus. If you find yourself in Icy Strait Point, do yourself a favor and skip the cruise ship tours and book with Hoonah Travel Adventures. You won't regret it."
