Overview

Embark on a small-group, 3-hour whale watching and wildlife sightseeing tour from Hoonah, Alaska. Every season humpback whales come in large numbers to Hoonah to feed on the nutrient-rich waters of Glacier Bay and Icy Strait before migrating south again for the winter. The whale population begins to arrive in Hoonah in May, and stays through September.

Excellent tour! We saw many whales and got majestic pictures. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and provided very colorful political commentary. Don’t hesitate! These are the best tours in Hoonah.

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.

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.

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.
