What we'll do
See Humpback whales as they make their seasonal migrations through the Alaskan Inside Passage near Glacier Bay and Point Adopholous every year, and witness Orcas (Killer Whales) in their natural habitat.
This wildlife tour also affords you the chance to see bears, seals, & other land and sea life.
Our Whale Watching Adventure Tour is our premier sightseeing excursion. Hooked Adventures offers historical and wildlife information as we cruise near Hoonah, AK, and Icy Strait.
Our Alaskan cruises are focused on educating visitors about how this port city was developed and the migration of spawning salmon that generates an upsurge in wildlife activity – all in search of food sources.
Visit the historical Icy Strait Point Cannery, see current logging operations, and cruise out to Icy Strait, known for its humpback whales. Icy Strait is a great place to see wildlife – especially humpback whales – and soak up some of the age-old histories of Alaska.
This tour is a must for all sea mammal enthusiasts. There are few places on Earth that can boast 112 different types of mammals, thousands of species of fish, and 489 recorded species of birds! Sit back and enjoy informative narratives, a pleasant boat ride, and many opportunities for wildlife sightseeing and historical Hoonah highlights all packed into one tour.
Begin your historical and wildlife Alaskan cruise directly from the main docks of the cruise ships. When you exit your ship, your boat captain will be waiting for you!
From there, we’ll guide you to your boat. We place a big emphasis on safety and comfort. Our boats have heat, walk-in heads, and several other amenities to make your trip a comfortable one
From the gate of Icy Strait Cannery, we’ll journey southbound toward Hoonah City Dock.
Experience the living culture of southeast Alaska’s locals. Here you can view the working fishing boats of the community and see the community that lives on their boats. The town is close-knit and the ride to our boats offers good viewing of the lifestyle of living in a secluded Southeast town. Unlike other sports, you won’t be bombarded by shops and vendors on the streets. All our captains and deckhands have lived, worked, and traveled in the state.
Our historical and wildlife sightseeing cruises will answer (or try to answer) questions about living in Alaska. Housing, economy, travel needs for island communities, and much more.
Proceeding out of the harbor, you will help the captain look for killer whales (orcas), humpback whales, harbor seals, and other wildlife.
During the summer, large numbers of herring come into the bay and travel through the Icy Strait. This brings predators to feed. The yearly spawning of salmon also catapults the entire region into a feeding frenzy and brings all things into life.
If the opportunity arises, our cruises will help you witness humpback whales bubble-feeding and orcas traveling in pods to teach hunting skills and feed their young.
