Icy Strait Point / Hoonah
Icy Strait Point, where only one ship is allowed to dock each day, is a renovated cannery next to a Tlingit native village in the wilderness. Shuttle buses operate to Hoonah, the largest Tlingit village in Alaska. Icy Strait is the gateway to Glacier Bay and the sea and land in this area are ideal for wildlife sitings; whales, grizzly bears and bald eagles. Get out in nature, view Glacier Bay from the air, cruise with the whales, search for brown bears, listen to Tlingit Native stories, go Kayaking, experience Tlingit culture, book a charter fishing excursion, watch the wildlife, ride the world's longest ZipRider™, or do it all. At Icy Strait Point, there is an excursion for everyone.
