My teenage son and I were only in Hoonah (a.k.a. - Icy Strait Point) for a day as a cruise ship stop. Eric did not waste time and we were on the water fishing post haste! We were going for salmon that day and Eric did not disappoint...we enjoyed our 1/2 day and landed 4 salmon (coho and pink). Eric drove us back to the ship and we worked-out the details for processing and shipping our catch back home. The morning after we returned from our vacation, a Fed Ex delivery with our cleaned and vac-packed salmon was delivered. Captain Eric be "Da Man"! We enjoyed Ear Mountain Charters and fully recommend it for your next visit to Hoonah, Alaska!

As soon as we dropped anchor at a location Chris scoped out for us, I caught a HUUUGE halibut and the excursion only got better from there. For the remainder of the trip, every passenger continue to hook fish one after another and that continued until everyone was exhausted. I know catching fish is not guaranteed on any trip, but based on my own personal experience, combined with my research of other customers reviews; I would venture to guess your chances of catching a fish with him at the helm is as close to 100% as humanly possible. I can not give a higher recommendation for Chris at Tok River, and highly suggest you check them out as well.

Somehow, I managed to book the wrong tour. I thought this was a walking/hiking tour to look for…read morebears, but it turned out to be a three-hour drive in a van with limited space, windows that did not open, and was either too hot for some or too cold for others. The driver/tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, at best, some of us saw the rear end of a bear running off the road into the bush. The rest of us saw nothing. There were some eagles at a distance and a buck far, far away. We stopped several times and spoke to other van drivers, and it seemed like sightings that day were very infrequent. While it's not anyone's responsibility (tour company or cruise line), it would be helpful to guest comfort if we were reminded to bring bug spray with us when leaving the ship. After we took the tram to the waiting area, everyone was eaten alive while waiting for their next mode of transportation.

On our cruise ship stop at Icy Strait Point / Hoonah, I opted to book a whale watching tour with…read moreGlacier Wind for a smaller and more personal experience, and it was everything and more! I believe they can usually fit up to 13 people on one tour but we got lucky with only 7 people in our group (aka lots of space on the boat to move around). Teresa drove all of us from the port to the dock, and we were then welcomed by her son Casey who is the captain. I later learned from Teresa that Casey studied fishery in school, and boy was he knowledgeable about all the different wildlife out here in Hoonah! While on the tour, we were able to witness porpoises, bald eagles, sea lions and, of course, whales. Casey takes you to different spots where you are likely to spot whales, and we ended up seeing a whale come up VERY close to our boat! It was absolutely mesmerizing to see and to capture. Additionally, the boat itself was super comfortable, and they even provide water, hot chocolate, and various chips for you to snack on :) If you are thinking about booking a whale watching tour while in Hoonah, do it with Glacier Wind! Teresa and Casey are both amazing, and my family had a fantastic experience overall.

We saw *tons* of whales - you could tell they were working their butts off looking for them, driving us all over the bay! We even saw a mom and calf once! (Tons of bald eagles, too! No bears, sadly - they showed us a spot where you can spot bears sometimes, but it was still a bit early in the season.) Funny enough, it was about the same price as the cruise ship's whale watching group, but it's a *much* different experience going out on a boat with only a handful of people plus the crew. Great people, too - you can tell they love what they doing, showing people the bay and all the really cool sea life that inhabits it. Super comfortable boat, too. Definitely glad we chose to go whale watching with them. Only one tiny complaint - I saw reviews mentioning homemade salmon dip! Not that we exactly *needed* any more food, coming from a cruise ship, but at least on our specific trip, they only provided water and hot chocolate. Seeing a bunch of whales was obviously the main reason we were there, but I *did* also have a side goal of eating as much salmon as possible while I was in Alaska, too, so I was a tiny bit sad. Extremely minor complaint, obviously.

Very courteous and prompt with answers. Required no money down. Keith, her husband, did the touring. Picked us up outside the boat area, swung us by his house to pick up his pup (Trigger) and let out his geese...all the way giving a tour of Hoonah. Then he dropped off half the van occupants at the dock for their morning of whale watching as the three of us (4 counting Trigger) headed into the bush in search of bear. Seriously. The four of us (ok, five if we count Keith) heading over old forest service roads deep into the back country! We couldn't have asked for more personal, attentive service. Within minutes, I felt like family. Keith is as open and good natured as they come. We really felt like we were penetrating the real Alaska with a real Alaskan! After four hours of deep and persistent searching, we came back with no bear sightings...such is the reality when trying to find a wild animal out in the wild, but we had zero regrets. When we come again, and we will, there will be no need to call anyone else. In fact, we had such a great experience with Keith and his organization that even though we had just whale toured the prior day in Juneau, we opted to hop aboard his boat for the afternoon tour. Wow. WOW! The boat is new and totally equipped for rough seas and full fishing assemblage. And in true TECKK fashion, the experience was very personal...boat has room for pilot and lookout, and 5 guests. That's it! We spent the next four hours zipping across Point Adolphus with more whales, to include full breaches, than we could keep a count of! I'm not lying, whales were everywhere and we were right in the middle of them! Oh, and just to show the fickle nature of bears, Keith's afternoon tour ran across three large brown bears! Military discount.

Our boat had a total of 6 people and there was plenty of room on the back of the boat for us all to fish. The captain and his mate (a golden retriever named Cyrus) were great. The captain in conjunction with their two other boats in the area did a great job keeping us on the fish. We had a blast and caught 15 halibut between the 3 of us and 31 total on the boat, the biggest being a 32" 15-16lb halibut that we sent home for a few nice dinners. The trip was great and would highly recommend these guys if you are in the area. Just be aware, the fish shipping company (an outside company) is quite expensive to ship fish back home, but they were extremely convenient to use and did provide great customer service.

I highly recommend Hooked Adventures and thanks everyone for providing my family with a great experience.
