Down to earth folks and unguided tour. This was one of the best things we did on our cruise.They gave us options for trails and it was beautiful!! Worth the price! read more

We arrived in Icy strait looking for a reasonable ATV experience and we were directed to HOONAH AV TOURS. they are a must do so many trails you can chose from and they are self guided so if you want to turn off your path you can. You can experience all kind of wildlife scenary. The owner is very much involved and his staff is excellen. A must experience read more

We'd give TEN stars if we could! Skip the corporate stuff at the port and take a stroll into town. Jack and Joe will make sure you have a terrific excursion. Their prices are reasonable, machines are in good repair, they give you a GPS and bear spray. If you do nothing else while you're in port, look these guys up and rent an ATV. read more

On a recent cruise to several ports in Alaska, we stopped in Hoonah for a half-day disembarkment from the ship. While initially disappointed in the lack of activities and sights to visit to pass the time in this small town, our last-minute excursion through Hoonah ATV Tours ended up being one of the biggest highlights of our trip. ATV-riding has become my husband and I's "thing" to do on each vacation we embark on. We've ridden through villages of the Dominican Republic and sped through the streams and backroads of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Needless to say, ATVing in Alaska was definitely on this trip's bucket list. However, my husband and I refuse to pay the irrationally high prices of port excursions available to book directly through the cruiseline. We quickly learned the ease and benefit of negotiating with local vendors (who offer the same, if not better, excursion at a significantly discounted rate) after stepping just a few feet away from the ship. This excursion was no exception to that and we were happy to support a local family-owned business. After taking a $5 shuttle a mile or so into town, we were thrilled to see signage advertising local ATV rentals and immediately stopped to speak with Joe (the cool and friendly owner and manager of Hoonah ATV Tours). The price seriously couldn't be beat and we had to wait just a few minutes for the ATV we were going to rent to return from a previous customer. Joe walked us through utilizing the provided GPS to navigate to various sights around Hoonah and addressed any safety issues or concerns before Sam and I hit the road on our self-guided adventure for over an hour. The ATV was easy to drive and we felt safe the entire time. There were so many different routes and roads to take and it was awesome to be able to create your own excursion as your time with the ATV is self-guided. You can select various "points of interest" to ride to by clicking on them on the GPS or simply ride around at your leisure. So many great photos were captured during our excursion as you encounter such incredible views of Alaska and local wildlife and vegetation. We even stumbled across an awesome view of our cruise ship from several miles away. I highly recommend renting through Hoonah ATV Tours and I have also promoted them to fellow cruises heading that way in the near future. This excursion is perfect for anyone - singles, couples, families, etc. - and it does not require much exertion. Plan to get a little dusty as the ATV is not fully enclosed and most of your trip is spent on dirt roads. However, that is all part of the fun and adventure (and it makes for great vacation photos). Be sure to book as soon as you get into town as the number of ATVs can be limited and it's a highly-coveted experience. Thank you Joe and Hoonah ATV Tours for the lifelong awesome vacation memories! read more

Thank you to Joe and team for a great experience in the Honaah rainforest area. Our team of 9 family members had an awesome time.

We booked independently off a cruise ship with Joe and he was wonderful. We had a great experience cruising around the island and he was very conscientious about making sure everything was clean and vacuumed out. I would highly recommend! We would rent from him again in a heartbeat read more

The prices from the cruise line was to expensive and sold out. We found this locally owned ATV Rental in Hoonah town. We talked to Joe (owner) and was super friendly and worked with to meet our needs. Overall we had a great experience. read more

Fantastic Mom and Pop ATV business. What a perfect outing. First, I after a last minute change in port, I called Joe. He was pleasant, kind, and easy to book with. Having two small kids, he ensured he'd have a 4-seater with doors. We arrived in town and met Joe at the yellow house. His ATVs are top notch. They come with an easy to navigate GPS, SPOT locator beacon, and a can of bear spray if you venture away from the ATV. The roads you travel are logging roads and simple to navigate. Our kids had a blast! I cannot recommend this outfit enough! read more

My family and I had the best time using Hoonah ATV. We saw the best scenery and the owners were so hospitable. Was a very easy shuttle ride or walk from the cruise ship. Definitely going back! read more

This was an amazing adventure. This was my second trip to hoonah on a cruise ship specifically Holland America line. The first time I was caught in a trap of gift shops at "icy straight point" an Alaskan native conglomerate. This time I opted to bypass in the maze which was rather difficult for a non local. I encourage anyone visiting this location to avoid icy point strait and move on to the city which is only one point five miles away. When we reached the city we opted to rent an ATV and within 20 minutes we came across a bear. It was right in front of us on the road truely awesome. Customer service was amazing and I will do this every time I return to hoonah it was just unbelievable. read more
