We came in by seaborne sojourn exploration ship. Beautiful sunny day with lovely clouds. I really did not know what to expect. There were plenty of excursions to do but we chose to walk the area around the new pier. The old cannery is now a very nicely tourist zone for all kinds of things. Clothes, jewelry and more. The are restaurants as well. There are a few custom made local items but I did not see them. Maybe since it was Sunday. There is an amazing looking zip line that was a little too high and extremely long that went from the top of the mountains right into the cannery area. There are beautiful areas to hike as well as the town of Hoonah. You can walk 1.5 miles or take a small bus ride for 5 dollars round trip. Sunday the town was pretty much closed based on my conversations with ship mates that went there. I enjoyed our time here. Everyone was very pleasant.
Great day! Especially liked the Cookhouse restaurant with patio seating on the beach with the guitar. The wildlife tour was incredible!! The bears showed up and the guides took really great care of us!
Wonderful view, and peaceful environment, its one of a Must place to visit
Very cool place! Get it...cool? Because of the icyness...I'll see my self out. The nature trail was excellent, I was on a cruise so it was packed with people but if you can find a time to go when no one is there it is probably even better.
There is a town Hoonah close by. You can walk there, it is also pretty nice. A little rustic. All around a most excellent time
Beautiful location- tourist trap for cruise industry- make sure you try the king crab in garlic butter on the pier before travelling into Hoonah to see the real Alaska
A brilliant facility built by the locals to encourage ships to come to their specifically built port... but do book a bear tour with the independent providers of trips.
