Hoonah Travel Adventures

We booked our August 2023 excursion with them for whale watching.We had our 5yr old Son with Autism, they where wonderful with him & so accommodating. He had a blast! Captain Paul was extremely knowledgeable awesome captain! Very entertaining & the experience was amazing. We seen orcas (killer whales) plus seen the humpback whales (8to10 together) eagles, blue heron. It was a very adventurous day. We loved all the sightseeing we loved all the information that we got about Alaska, the different tribes, the whales and we learn things that we didn't even know about whales! It was a great experience definitely 100% would recommend. 10 out of 10!!! We will see you again in September 2024! Thank you 😊

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 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.

We took this excursion from Icy Point as it was only whale watching open since we booked late. Excellent choice. Had an amazing adventure seeing whales up close. Had no idea as they came up unexpectedly right by us. Saw seals and otters. The captain and co captain were excellent. Nice vessel as well. Thank you for an awesome excursion!

We did the whale watch tour through Hoonah Travel Adventures. Denise was our skipper and Christi was the cabin attendant. The boat was small and could hold 18 passengers which made for a more intimate feel. The interior of the boat was heated, and blankets were available. Within a few minutes of leaving the harbor we were in the thick of a humpback whale feeding frenzy. I can say with confidence that I've never been on a whale watch that has gotten me so close to a whale. I felt like the tour could have maybe been 1 hour longer considering the cost.
