This three-hour boat tour departs from Hoonah and is led by Captain Josh, a local small business owner. The tour takes place on a vessel built specifically for whale watching, designed to provide a stable and safe platform for viewing marine life. In addition to humpback whales, guests often see otters, Steller sea lions, orcas, brown bears, and other wildlife. Captain Josh personally guides the tour and uses a drone to capture aerial footage of the whales and surrounding wildlife. This is the only whale watching tour that includes integrated drone filming, offering unique perspectives. At the end of the trip, each group receives a USB drive containing the drone videos from the tour. Carbonated beverages and snacks are provided onboard. Gratuities are not included in the price.
You will travel out into Icy Strait with our capable captains in our small 14-18 passenger boats, and seek out wildlife, such as Humpback Whales, Orcas, Coastal Brown Bears, Sea lions, seals, and more! we have a 100% success rate with finding Humpback Whales on tours! Our custom boats are also designed to give you excellent indoor and outdoor viewing of wildlife. During the course of our 3-hour tour, while you are enjoying views of marine life from the boat, we will ADD to your viewing experience by deploying a professional filmography drone from the boat, and film the wildlife from above. You can be watching a mother whale and her calf from the boat, and on our way in watch what they and all the other wildlife was doing from above! We understand how incredible the connection with the wildlife is, and that's why we try to give you an additional viewing perspective, but one that doesn't detract from what's happening. It adds to the tour, without losing anything! Seeing the whole whale swimming through its environment, watching calves playing with their mothers, or orcas swimming in their pods, is only made better with the extra drone's perspective!
