Day 5 of our Alaskan cruise adventure brought us to the breathtaking Icy Strait Point in Hoonah, Alaska!
Nestled at the base of White Alice Mountain, Icy Strait Point is one of Alaska’s newest cruise destinations. Opened in 2004, the port was created when the Huna Totem Corporation transformed a historic salmon cannery, closed since the 1950s, into a vibrant destination that now welcomes thousands of visitors each year.
Guests had the opportunity to explore the beautifully restored cannery, visit local shops and restaurants, and learn about the area's rich history in the museum. For those seeking incredible views, a scenic gondola ride offered stunning mountaintop vistas above the clouds.
Adventure seekers had no shortage of options, including whale watching, bear viewing, kayaking, Jeep excursions, and cultural experiences featuring traditional Native dance performances. Some even took on the excitement of the world's largest and longest zipline, over 5,000 feet of cable with an incredible 1,300-foot vertical drop!
