Excursions d'observation des baleines de 14 passagers dans le détroit de Glace alias Hoonah AK

We had an amazing time with Hoonah Whale Tours. The cruise ship docked late but she was still there waiting for us at the pickup location. We were able to get super close to a humpback feeding! Much closer than the larger vessels booked through the cruise ship and always nice to support a local family business.

What an incredible trip with Hoonah Whale Tours! The small group setting allowed for us to get up and personal with several orcas (one which fully breached a few times right next to the boat!), humpback whales (several that were bubble feeding!), eagles on the shoreline, and sea lions and otters relaxing on a beautiful day. Thank you Jordan and Mariah for an adventure of a lifetime!

Incredible day whale watching with Captain Joardan! He knew right where to find the whales and the blueberry muffins and warm coffee also hit the spot! I could have spent all day whale watching, bear spotting and lounging with the sea lions!

The tour hosts are a nice young family operating a business in Hoonah and they work hard to make your experience a success. We had a treat right from the start as a whale played around in the harbor for a good 10 minutes, showing off. Saw more whales further out and also saw a momma bear and her cub and got close to get a good photo shot. We were very excited to see and hear these whales!

One of the highlights of our cruise. Mariyah and Jordan were fantastic hosts. There were only 6 of us which was perfect. The boat is spacious and comfortable with a heated enclosed cabin. The twin hull configuration makes for a smooth ride even if the water is a bit choppy. They provided hot drinks and snacks and there is a head onboard. We saw lots of whales, a few bears and some sea lions as well. Mariyah gave a quick tour of Hoonah before we departed. I especially enjoyed talking fishing with Jordan during the trip. I would definitely recommend using this family owned business for your chance to see some beautiful scenery and plenty of whales!

Yes, just six passengers. It was like taking a whale watch trip with a family member. Great boat with viewing decks on the front and back. Heated cabin with a head, in case you want to get out of the wind or need to go during the 3 hour tour. Within 10 minutes of launching Captain Jordan took us to a spot where several whales were working together, bubble feeding, to captue breakfast. So amazing to see them all come up together, mouths wide open! Wow!! Words just can't describe the awesome experience. With just six passengers, we were incredibly spoiled with muffins and coffee and a captain who would take us where ever we wantd to go. Bonus, we were escorted by a school of porpoises for about 30 minutes. So much fun! We went on two whale watch trips while we were visiting Hoonah. Do them both if you can. Totally AMAZING!

Captain Josh did a fantastic job finding humpback whales. We , also, got to see sea otters, harbor seals, and sea lions. On the way back to the dock Josh spotted a humpback cow and her calf. The calf was just playing around while the mother fed. The calf leapt out the water numerous times. Fantastic sight. Josh really went above and beyond spending the extra time on the water so we could see family. The drone video was additional icing on the cake. This tour is the only on that provides a flash-drive containing the video for free.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We were able to see whales immediately and throughout the entire trip. We were also able to see otters, sea lions, and seals. This is a family run business by locals and they take pride in their business. The small group made the tour even better. Would definitely take this tour again and highly recommend to others.

We enjoyed our whale watching adventure with Hoonah Whale Tours. The pick up location was easy to find. Jordan and his wife were friendly and knowledgeable. We saw whales and sea lions. The views were incredible! So glad we decided to make this a part of our cruise in Alaska!

I had a wonderful time on this tour. Prompt and easy pick up and transfer to the dock to board the boat. Captain Jordan was very knowledgeable about about local waters and found us several groups of whales to observe. Highly recommend and will use them again when I come back to Alaska.
