Dolphin Doug Posted January 19, 2023 #26 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I’m in Juneau, haven’t been to Hoonah (Icy) for a few years. The cruise ship dock is private, kinda like a private island in the Caribbean. You can buy independent, but it isn’t as easy. The zipline/tram is proprietary. Anyone from Hoonah on here?

englander Posted February 15, 2023 #27 Share Posted February 15, 2023 So ... it is possible to buy SkyGlider tix at the 'entrance'? I like the idea of waiting to see what the weather is on the day we get there, May 22, 2023. Last time We were here was in May 2017! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read on another post that tickets are available onsite and are same price as ship. Of course the ship may charge you extra for a "walking tour". Don't fall for it. we arrive there 3 days after you and I plan on buying onsite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wake Forest Bob Posted March 22, 2023 #30 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Is there a public restroom at the summit of the SkyGlider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzzek Posted April 4, 2023 #31 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Today I tried to buy tickets for the zip line (gondola ride to the top is included in price) direct from the zip line outfit. I was told to contact my cruise ship. I did b/c I really want to do the zip line and didn’t want to risk it being sold out on the day we arrive in port. My impression is that you can buy upon arrival, and I think the gondola tickets are more plentiful, so if weather concerns are your issue, maybe wait and see.

kickboxrca Posted April 7, 2023 #32 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Does anyone know if there are additional tickets that will be available if times are "sold out" on the ship's booking? We don't want to miss out! TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooth2099 Posted April 7, 2023 #33 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Can you drive up to the top of the mountain and see the view or do they make you buy tickets to get into that area? JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenasch2 Posted April 13, 2023 #38 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I have read this thread but am still a bit confused. We are arriving on the Oceana Regatta so not sure what pier they use. We want to take the red Skyglider gondola to the top and walk on our own then take it back down which I read is $49.95. We would buy the tickets at the site. How do we actually get the gondola. Is it walkable and how far is it from the pier? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted May 14, 2023 #44 Share Posted May 14, 2023 We were just in ISP this past week (May 9). We did the Glacier Wind whale watching (amazing) so we didn't do the zipline. The Green Gondola was open and running, and it was free. It took you thru/above the ropes course, and it continues to a vantage point part way up the mountain. Where it ends you can visit a gift store (we didn't go in), or you could walk over to the view outlook site, snap some photos and return back down via the same Green Gondola. Or, you can walk back down via the well marked Beach Trail. The sign says it is a 15 minute walk, but it took us a bit longer. Be aware that the first part of the trail is elevated (which came as a surprise to me), but in the end I am glad I walked down. I believe the gondola that folks are saying costs $49.95 is the Red Gondola which takes you to the top of the mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeachAloha Posted May 17, 2023 #45 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Silly question, but if we bought SkyGlider (red gondola) tickets trough the cruise line, do we pick them up on the ship or at the gondola? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneTwoThreeFourFive Posted May 18, 2023 #48 Share Posted May 18, 2023 It seems like the SkyGlider and ZipRider prices through NCL have shot up in the last month or so. I recall it being $50 for the gondola and $140 for the zipline when we first booked, but it now shows $70 and $240. Am I remembering wrong? It sounds like the gondola is still $50 on location, but now I'm worried it will go up once summer starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the shore excursion credit to get a ticket for free. Probably why they raised the price as people could get them for free.

singleflyer Posted July 1, 2023 #50 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Yeah, NCL has it listed as $69. I'm guessing that the port charges the cruise line $20 or so per person, so in order for NCL to make money after the $50 Free at Sea credit, they raised it to $69. I'm still not convinced it is worth $19 to go up the Gondola. Maybe I'll wait and see what the weather is like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
