lks1165 Posted January 10, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Hi Can anyone tell me about excursions they did when docked in Icy Strait Alaska. We are interested in search/viewing brown bears. We are not interested in Whale tours as we can do this here at home. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awestover89 Posted January 10, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 10, 2020 We did the combo whale watching and bear watching tour, although we did not see any bears. That was with Alaska Galore Tours in June 2015 In May 2016 we just did a whale watching tour with Icy Strait Whale Adventures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare little britain Posted January 10, 2020 #4 Share Posted January 10, 2020 We used Hoonah Travel Adventures. Best trip of our cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkruzer Posted January 10, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2020 This is the made up port since Hoonah didn't want the cruise ships. We took the shuttle into and walked back. Wandered around and went to a bar that Esquire magazine rated tops for a community that size. Was really good. Walked back and stopped at the cemetery because on the way into town noticed some Jewish head stones. The walk isn't easy as there weren't sidewalks the entire way and walked in the road. Fun day.

shutterbug63 Posted January 11, 2020 #6 Share Posted January 11, 2020 When we visited that port, we used Glacier Winds for whale watching. I'd highly recommend them. One of the best excursions we've ever done and limited to 6 people per tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emory2001 Posted January 11, 2020 #7 Share Posted January 11, 2020 We did the Hoonah Aventures bear tour too. We saw some bears, and it was a good tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakelorain Posted January 11, 2020 #8 Share Posted January 11, 2020 We walked to the left of the pier and saw several bears in and around the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcruiselover Posted January 11, 2020 #9 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I did the zip line at Icy Strait Point. It’s supposedly the longest zip line in the world. What an adrenaline rush! It’s fairly expensive but worth the cost IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
