Review of Hoonah’s 3-hour whale watch, with guaranteed sightings, small-group boats, Point Adolphus, wildlife, costs, and practical tips.
“Clear meeting instructions. Easy access. Great tour and experience. Inside bench seats for inclement weather. Side windows swung open for viewing and photos. Not crowded. Comfortable. While we experienced the whale watching before optimal viewing season, we did see whales, otters and a bear from our boat. Boats are not large, so its a small group experience; much better than cruiseline booking which uses larger boats.”
