What To Expect
Hoonah
The first stop is the dock in the village of Hoonah. This is where we keep our commercial crabbing boat and our morning catch of crab. Pick out your fresh crab as we answer any questions you might have about Alaska commercial fishing and crabbing. We fish for pink salmon to use as bait for our commercial crabbing. All the gear is on board so we can give you a demonstration on how it works right at the dock.
Hoonah Beach House
The next stop is the deck over the water at Hoonah Beach House. This is just a quick stop to put our crab on ice for later, and maybe use the restroom if necessary. We will be returning to this location later for the crab feast!

Hoonah with a touch of Spice

5.00Great tour oh Hoonah and have your trip end with crab and Thai spice. The guide/owner has a great understanding of how things work in this town of 850 people. They are very innovative people who make things work through bartering and hard work. They use a lot of things in and around Hoonah both recycling and using natural resources. At the end of the tour you will enjoy fresh crab with a nice touch of homemade Thai spice if you want to add it to your crab. I highly recommend the extra spice to your meal. It was the best meal I had on the cruise. I had to go on land to get it. Don’t forget dessert. It was made with berries from Hoonah.
A wonderful day in Hoonah.

5.00Our host (and guide) was friendly, warm and informative sharing his love of his life in Hoonah. You get a genuine feel for what it takes to survive and thrive in an environment most of us can only handle on vacation for a limited time. The time comes when we are ready to go home - for our host this is home.
Fabulous!

5.00Great way to have spent our time in Hoonah while docked at Icy Strait. We were warmly welcomed by Todd and Theresa and learned so much about life there. The meal was delicious and their property is beautiful!
