Icy Stait / Hoonah
This is a top pick! 
Doing some boating ourselves.
This is a top pick! Now this is in the middle of nowhere, there are around 800 people living in Hoonah (Icy Strait), and the ships can't even dock there. They have to anchor in the bay and bring the shuttle boats (live boats) out to bring the guests to shore. They can only ...

Another off-road trip
Hoonah was such a small island that it did not even have a dock large enough to handle the cruise ship. The ship had to drop anchor off the coast and use lifeboats to shuttle people across. Kind of fun, ain't it? The view of the ship from the life boats ...

Ziplines and Whales and Knitters...Oh My!
... a rickety old school bus (there seem to be a lot of these in Alaska) that would take us 45 minutes through the village of Hoonah and up 1,300 feet to where the zipline awaited us. Once at the top, we were fastened into seated harnesses, and off we ...
Hoonah
... on the zip line. It looks like a real rush but at $85.00 for 30 seconds Iīd rather do it vicariously. Before we went to Hoonah Cal and I both had appointments for massages. Mine a facial and massage. Him just a massage. I donīt know why I do this. I ...
Humpbacks!

The longest zipline in the world
