2. The Island offers ten different kinds of edible berries along with a stunning view of a muskeg, viewing an old growth forest, and possible chances of viewing the king of the island: brown bears. Using information on current bear movements, their feeding habits, and the temperature throughout the day, there are short stops at key points to scope out an amazing view of these captivating creatures. Our well renowned guides will share information about the area and the Tlingit Native population. During the tour you are pretty much guaranteed to see a host of other wildlife that are quite often spotted during our tours, including mink, marten, bald eagles, sea birds, red squirrels, otter, beaver, ducks, and Sitka black-tail deer. So be sure to bring your camera. Please note: Wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed. However, this tour can re-position quickly, and there is a much higher chance of sightings with our small group tour than any other slow moving large tour groups.

About Hoonah

Hoonah is a Tlingit community on Icy Strait in south-east Alaska, with whale-rich waters, totem poles, brown bears and the forests of Chichagof Island.

Hoonah lies on the north-east shore of Chichagof Island in the Alexander Archipelago, on Icy Strait, roughly 60 kilometres west of Juneau across the water. The Huna Tlingit, who left their homeland in Glacier Bay when the ice advanced, settled here, and it is still a largely Tlingit town, with a small harbour and a historic salmon cannery just outside town. Totem poles, dance and story are part of the community's life.
