Icy Strait Point Excursions
Hoonah Tours
Visit the living community of Hoonah — distinct from the Icy Strait Point cruise complex.
Hoonah is home to the Xunaa Káawu / Huna Tlingit community with deep ties to this land and to Glacier Bay ancestral territory. Icy Strait Point is Huna Totem Corporation’s cruise destination; Hoonah is the town and community life around it. Cultural tours should be framed as hospitality and heritage — not a generic “Alaska Native experience” label.
Use specific language where verified: Huna Totem ownership, Tlingit community of Hoonah, cannery history, and local guiding. Avoid reducing culture to a photo prop or checklist attraction.
Plan shuttle time. Do not assume you can casually walk between Wilderness Landing and downtown Hoonah within a tight all-aboard window.
