Every season humpback whales come in large numbers to Hoonah to feed on the nutrient-rich waters of Glacier Bay and Icy Strait before migrating south again for the winter. The whale population begins to arrive in Hoonah in May, and stays through September.

Q: What should we wear for the cruise? Is it cold on the water?

A: Definitely dress in layers! It can be chilly out on the water, even in summer. I’d recommend waterproof jackets and good shoes. The cabins have heat, but you’ll want to be comfy when you're outside watching the whales!

So excited for my whale-watching cruise in Hoonah!

I just booked the whale-watching cruise with Hoonah Travel Adventures for next month and I can’t wait! The trip is supposed to be 3 hours and they say you get to see humpbacks and maybe even orcas. The price was really reasonable too! Anyone else been? What should I expect?

Anyone done the Hoonah whale-watching tour? Need tips!

Thinking about getting this as a gift for my parents’ anniversary! They love nature but have never done anything like this. How was the experience for you? Any must-do recommendations?
