BEST ICY STRAIT POINT SHORE EXCURSIONS
By Paula Hughes Court
Icy Strait Point is by far my favorite Alaskan cruise
port. The village at Icy Strait Point as well as the
neighboring Hoonah are as close to what most
visitors expect Alaska to be than any other port.
WHALE WATCH TOURS AT ICY STRAIT POINT
The number one excursion in Icy Strait Point is whale
watching. Point Adolphus is one of the premier whale
watching destinations in the world so seeing whales is
guaranteed. Many times we were able to see whales,
sea lions and eagles are feeding at the same
location. If you're a photographer this is the best
location for whale shots.
I have first hand experience with Floyd and Margie of
F.I.S.H.E.S. and highly recommend their whale watch
tour. He takes a maxiumum of 6 passengers which
makes for a more personal tour. FISHES sells out fast
so make your reservation early.
This year I've booked a whale watch tour with Shawn
McConnell with Glacier Wind Charters who also
enjoys a good reputation. Check back this summer for
a full review of his tour.
If at all possible, book an independent whale watch
tour in Icy Strait instead of a ship sponsored shore
excursion. The ship's tours are packed and don't
provide an individual, customized experience. Many
passengers have been unhappy about the ship's tours
in Icy Strait Point.
ICY STRAIT POINT ZIP LINE
The second most popular shore excursion at Icy Strait
Point is the zip line which claims to be the longest zip
line in the world at 5, 330 feet. It looks like tons of fun.
In fact you can watch the zip liners from the Icy Strait
Point beach area.
BEAR WATCH TOURS AT ICY STRAIT POINT
The third most popular tour is the bear watch tours at
Icy Strait. Teckk Outfitters, a local wildlife tour
operator, offers bear watch tours as well as
customized fishing tours. He is well known for his bear
watch tours from his van. This year he is also offering
whale watch tours.
OFFICE BAR AT HOONAH
If you have time, be sure to try the fresh crab at the
Office Bar in Hoonah. Hoonah is only a short walk
from the dock at Icy Strait Point. Most local tour
operators will be happy to drop you off at the
restaurant after the tour if you like.
