Icy Strait Point can be found in Hoonah, Alaska. Once a logging town, Hoonah is a lively fishing community and home to the world’s largest Tlingit Village. The Huna Tlingit were the first to occupy Glacier Bay until the Little Ice Age forced them to migrate to the area that is known today as Hoonah. Alaska Native-owned-and-operated Icy Strait Point was built around this area in order to support the local community.
THINGS TO SEE AND DO
Hoonah is known for its boundless wilderness, fishing expeditions, and traditional Alaskan heritage. Once ashore, explore everything Hoonah has to offer. Spend the day at the beaches, natural trails, museums, or boardwalks and docks. You also have the option to explore the bay by catamaran or kayak.
