This 3-hour whale watching tour in Hoonah begins at Icy Strait Point, where guests meet the guide at the Excursions Hub. Transfers to and from the specialized whale watching boat are included, with departure and return times arranged to ensure guests return before the ship's all aboard time. The boat carries up to 24 people and is designed so every seat has a window view. The tour spends about 2 hours and 45 minutes traveling through the waters of Icy Strait, an area home to humpback whales, orcas, sea lions, sea otters, harbor seals, and Dall’s porpoise. Along the shoreline, wildlife such as brown bears, Sitka black-tailed deer, and bald eagles may be seen. The final 30 minutes of the tour are spent near Point Adolphus, a well-known location for frequent humpback whale activity, where whale sightings are guaranteed. The boat provides shelter from the weather while allowing close views of whales and other sea life. Rain gear, binoculars, and snacks are not provided, so guests should bring their own. The tour operates in all weather except during small craft advisories. Passengers should dress in layers and bring appropriate outerwear. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Collapsible wheelchairs are accommodated if the passenger does not require a wheelchair on board. Care Cart transportation is available from the ship’s gangway to the Excursion Hub for those with mobility issues, requiring about 20 minutes of extra time. Guests showing symptoms of Covid-19 cannot participate.
