2 Hour Chichagof Island Guided Driving Tour

The Chichagof Island Tour offers an unparalleled two-hour excursion experience, specifically modified to conveniently accommodate cruise ship guests with limited port schedules in Hoonah. What truly sets this land-based adventure apart is its origin as the only tour company operating from Hoonah, assuring one-of-a-kind viewing and learning opportunities led exclusively by local Alaskan Native guides who are lifelong residents intimately familiar with the area. Guests gain unique cultural knowledge, receiving education about the native Alaskan Tlingit culture and learning to identify local plants with medicinal properties. In addition to promising fascinating wildlife, breathtaking views, and fantastic photo opportunities, the itinerary includes the possibility of picking wild berries when in season or going on short walks, if time allows. Also allows you to take other excursions while at Icy Strait Point.

Q&A

Q: What's the best time of year to go on the Chichagof Island tour? Is it worth doing in early spring?

A: Late spring to early fall is prime time for the Chichagof Island tour! In early spring, you might miss out on peak berry picking and wildlife sightings, but you can still enjoy beautiful scenery. Just keep in mind that weather can be unpredictable, so layers are key. Late May through September is where you’ll see the most activity and the best chance to spot bears and whales!

Q: Are kids allowed on the Chichagof Island tour? What age is best?

A: Yes, kids are welcome on the tour! It's suitable for all ages, but younger kids might need some supervision during the short walks. I recommend it for kids 8 and up since they’ll get more out of the cultural insights from the guides. Just be sure to dress them in layers and bring snacks!

Q: Can this tour be rescheduled if plans change? What’s the cancellation policy?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! The tour company is pretty accommodating, especially for weather-related issues. Typically, you can cancel or modify your booking up to 48 hours prior to the tour without any fees. Just contact them directly to sort it out.

Considering the Chichagof Island Tour for my parents' anniversary!

I’m thinking about gifting my parents the 2-hour Chichagof Island tour while they’re on their cruise in Hoonah. They love nature and learning about local cultures. I heard the guides are Native Alaskans, which is awesome! Just wondering if anyone’s done this and if it’s worth it? What's the experience like?

Just booked the Chichagof Island tour!

I can’t wait! I booked the Chichagof Island tour for my family when we visit Hoonah next month. The idea of berry picking and learning about Tlingit culture has me so excited! Also, I heard it's perfect if you're short on time, which is a plus. Anyone have tips on what to wear or bring?
