Up Close with the Whales - My mother and I took the tour as a last minute excursion from our cruise and had an amazing time. We saw so much wildlife and were able to see the pod of whales from so close and were even able to hear them.

Worth every penny - Did this August 2022 but forgot to post a review. The date selection will not permit selecting Aug 2022. This was wonderful with a local who knows and shared a lot of history. Saw a number of whales and the boat captain has communication with other boats in the water to make sure you go to where the whales are. Highly recommend.

Great tour guide, lots of whale sightings! - Saw many humpback whales from afar but one humpback breached extremely close to the boat and allowed us to really appreciate how massive these magnificent animals are. Our guide was super knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information and stories. He spoke so fast and often that my son could barely find an opportunity to speak to me because I kept shushing him because I wanted to hear what the guide was saying (it was that interesting). It was also nice to have some time in Hoonah after the tour was over. The breaded and fried halibut at Fisherman's Daughter restaurant was incredible.

Great Experience! - Captain Paul was very informative. He made sure we saw plenty of whales. Great experience! Would highly recommend

Whale Watching in Hoonah - Incredible trip with Hoonah Advenutures. We got off the cruise ship at Hoonah and took a short walk to the area where we were to meet the Hoonah rep. She was very easy to find. She loaded us up into the small bus which took us to the marina where we met Captain Billy. He took us to his fishing boat. As soon as we got out to the Bay, the whales were feeding everywhere! What a treat! Billy also took us to the beach to see a bear foraging amongst the rocks and got us close to the sealions in the area. We would highly recommend using Hoonah Adventures. They take great care to make sure you have the experience of a lifetime. Stacey and Rick from Ottawa Canada

Great whale watching tour - This tour was the highlight of our Alaska cruise. The captain explained everything we were about to see and delivered what he said. Got us up close and personal with the whales without disturbing them. Created many phot ops. Was our best whale watching tour ever.

Tons of whale and seal sightings - We loved our guide, Paul. He had tons of interesting facts and we were able to chase 5-6 whales for awhile around the Port Frederick area! We also were able to see a bunch of seals and sea birds. It rained the entire time while we were there but the inside of the cabin was warm, we had to keep squeegeeing the windows for better visibility.

Wonderful experience, great Captain and very helpful crew - Icy Strait Point was by far the best place for whale watching that we saw either on our trip to Alaska in September 2023, or even compared to our trip to Hawaii in March 2022. Hoonah Travel Adventures provided an excellent experience. We only had to ride out in the boat about 20 minutes or so before we were quite literally surrounded by whales. There were a few other tour boats in the area as well so that tells us that we were in a the right area. The Captain was very knowledgeable, and credibly so, about many different subjects including, of course, whale watching. His two person crew were very helpful as well. The 40’ or so boat provided both covered seating and places to go in the open, both at the front and the back. I never felt like I was prevented from getting good pictures by the other passengers on the boat. I have included a picture that contains a collage of four of my best pictures that I took while on the boat. There was opportunity to get some even better ones but I was not as skilled as I would have liked at being prepared to get some of the shots. In a few instances, I should have listened closer to the crew because they often called out just before when they knew, from experience, that a tail would be showing on a dive or that something else would occur. I cannot recommend both the Icy Strait Point location, and Hoonah Travel Adventures strongly enough. It was a thoroughly wonderful experience.

great trip - A wonderful trip with lots of fun facts and sitings of whales. I had my mom,husband and 2 17 year old children

Great whale viewings - Great viewings of many whales with a personable and knowledgeable crew. Highly recommend when in Hoonah, Alaska.
