Hoonah Whale Watching Tour 3 hr

Set out from Hoonah for a close look at the whales and wildlife of Alaska’s Icy Strait. This 3-hour Hoonah Whale Watching Tour pairs a scenic ride to the harbor with time on the water, where humpbacks gather to feed in nutrient-rich summer waters.

Meet your guide at Icy Strait Point and travel by air-conditioned minivan to the charter boat. Along the way, watch for wildlife near Shaman Point, including bald eagles, brown bears, and blacktail deer. Once aboard, scan the water for humpback whales, orcas, sea otters, sea lions, porpoises, and seals. You may see whales surfacing, diving, or lifting their flukes; with luck, you could witness a breach or the remarkable teamwork of bubble-net feeding.

The boat offers viewing decks and heated cabins, plus onboard restrooms. Bottled water and a light snack are provided, and whale sightings are guaranteed or you’ll receive a $100 refund for the whale-watching portion. After the cruise, return to Icy Strait Point with time to explore. Choose this Hoonah Whale Watching Tour for a memorable window into Alaska’s wild coastal waters.
