Overview
Icy Strait Point is a unique and privately owned cruise ship destination located on Chichagof Island in Southeast Alaska, near the small Tlingit village of Hoonah. Unlike many other Alaskan cruise ports, Icy Strait Point is dedicated to showcasing authentic Tlingit culture and providing a truly immersive wilderness adventure experience with minimal commercialization. It was developed by the Huna Totem Corporation, an Alaskan Native village corporation, ensuring that local indigenous people benefit directly from tourism.
The area is renowned for its abundant wildlife, including brown bears (Chichagof Island has one of the highest concentrations of brown bears in the world), humpback whales in the surrounding waters, and various marine life. Icy Strait Point offers a blend of cultural enrichment, thrilling outdoor activities, and unparalleled opportunities to connect with Alaska's pristine natural environment and its indigenous heritage.
Embark on a whale watching excursion from here. The nutrient-rich waters of Icy Strait and the surrounding areas are prime feeding grounds for humpback whales, with a high success rate for sightings.
Tip: Book your tour early, as they are very popular.
Experience the exhilarating the Zipline, recognized as one of the longest. Soar over 1,300 feet down, reaching speeds up to 60 mph, offering views of the forest and cruise ship below.
Tip: This is a high-demand activity, so book well in advance through your cruise line or directly with Icy Strait.
Discover the history of the Hoonah Packing Company Cannery, built in 1912. This preserved museum showcases the salmon canning process and the lives of the cannery workers, offering a glimpse into Alaska's industrial past.
Tip: The cannery museum is conveniently located near the cruise ship dock and is free to explore.
Take a guided brown bear viewing tour into the dense forests of Chichagof Island. It makes it one of the best places in Alaska to observe these magnificent animals in their natural habitat.
Tip: Tours are led by experienced guides.
Immerse yourself in authentic Tlingit culture by watching traditional Tlingit cultural performances in the Native Heritage Center. Browse local Tlingit arts and crafts at the shops, with opportunities to meet the artisans.
Tip: The cultural performances provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of the local indigenous heritage.
Enjoy the surroundings by walking the trails that connect areas. Ride the Skyglider gondola for an elevated perspective and easy transport between the dock and the top of the zipline launch.
Tip: The Skyglider offers great views and is included in some excursion packages or available for purchase.
