Icy Strait Point Tour via Alaska Cruise (4K)

Take a tour of Icy Strait Point in Honnah Alaksa. We visited during our Alaska cruise in June of 2017. In this video you will see the walkway that goes from the pier to Icy Strait Point Adventure Center. It is not a long walk at around 10 minutes, but not short either, and if you need help there is a cart that will help transport you to and fro.

The Adventure Center has a coffee shop, restrooms and tour desks where you can book activities. There is a restaurant called Duck Point Smokehouse right outside. Behind the Adventure Center you can observe those coming down on the Icy Strait Point Zipline (costs ~$149). We were told that it takes about 45 minutes for a bus to haul guests up the hill where they would take the ziprider down.

You can then take a scenic 10 minute walk to the Icy Strait Point/former cannery. Inside were exhibits from the former Hoonah cannery. We were a bit surprised at the shop located right in the middle of the museum, however, which made it seem a bit too commercialized.

There were other restaurants there such as The Cookhouse which offered Reindeer Sausage, and the Crab Station that sold Port Frederick Sound Dungeness Crab. We were actually looking forward to trying the Dungeness Crab but were told that the crabs wouldn't come in for another week.

The favorite thing we did there was the Nature Trail- a tranquil 20 minute stroll through a real Alaskan forest that takes you from the beach near the pier back to the Adventure Center compound.

Overall Icy Strait Point was an enjoyable port. The beauty of nature with plenty of comfortable facilities for guests, along with a range of excursions/activities available including the popular zipline ride. We did wish that we had more time at the port as the all-aboard time was 1:30 PM.
