Icy Straight Point

Are there things to do/see at this port other than the tours?

The immediate Port area is the cannery based. Small museum, nice loop walk along the coast and back through the woods. Getting out of this area, you can walk into Hoonah. Not much in "town" but the walk is scenic, good local food.

The old cannery exhibits at the pier are very nice, and there are nature trails and a beach you can explore. As BQ says the road into Hoonah is scenic and pretty and walkable if you are in fit condition. There are frequently eagles in the trees. The Office Bar is a fun local place that serves great local crab and local beer (and not much else).

 

However, we really enjoyed our bear search with Keith of Teckk Tours. This is sort of a unique experience and we thoroughly recommend it.

Icy Strait Point was our favorite port and it's by far the best place to whale watch. It's also fun to walk around the little village area. Here are some pictures of it:
