Absolutely amazing morning spent on the water with Captain Jordan! We saw so many humpback and orca whales while on an uncrowded, very comfortable boat. Pickup and drop-off from the excursion hub was seamless and we enjoyed meeting the whole Hoonah Whale Tours family during our ride. I would love to give this adventure 10 stars - it was just magnificent!

This was one of the best excursions we’ve been on ever! Jordan met us at the designated time and place and drove us to his boat in the harbor. There was one other couple booked with us so we were a very small group. Jordan was very personable and knowledgeable about the Alaskan waterways. His boat was clean and comfortable (he even supplied homemade muffins, hot chocolate and coffee!).
On our way out of the harbor we saw a Sitka black tailed deer and two eagles (one just leaving a huge nest). As we proceeded into the bay we encountered a pod of humpback whales feeding. We followed them for about 2 hours around the bay. We then went to check out some bay otters playing in seaweed and a group of sea lions sunning on a buoy. Jordan and his wife are the sole proprietors of this small tour company I’d highly recommend them to anyone visiting Icy Strait or Hoonah Alaska.

This was a magical experience! Jordan our captain was outstanding! His wife even baked us huckleberry muffins! We got to see so many humpback, orcas, sea lions, eagles, puffins, and sea otters! We could hear the whales singing and bellowing, we got to see them bubble feeding!!! And the orcas hunting! It was amazing! Highly recommend!!

Hoonah Whale Tours was the highlight of our Royal Caribbean cruise. We cruised at a pace that was comfortable for my wife, and Thor Too had ample seating inside or out for 8 guests, depending on a passenger's preference. On two occasions, we had a group of whales swim directly toward the boat and dive under to emerge on the opposite side. What a thrill! We also were entertained by seal lions and otters and observed bald eagles in their habitat.
Captain Jordan was insightful about the area and marine life, and his wife's blueberry muffins were delicious! This is a must-do tour when visiting Hoonah.

I found Hoonah Whale Tours on TripAdvisor and using Google. When I read they only took 6 people, I was immediately intrigued. I knew after some research that the cruise ship excursions would take dozens to more than a hundred. I read the many great reviews Hoonah already had. We chose them to be our only whale watching tour on our 11-day cruise.
Jordan's wife found us easily and picked us up in their van and brought us directly to Jordan on the pier. Jordan was an excellent guide, and he found us nearly 50 whales, even some that were bubble net feeding. We were stunned and were able to sit inside the boat or go outside and felt safe doing so. Jordan went past our tour length because it was just so exciting; I think he loved it and didn't want to miss out on the action. We took so many photographs and videos.
The blueberry muffins are real and delicious. Jordan really cared about giving the whales space to move. If you are reading this review and are wondering if this tour is for you, it is most definitely for you, and it's more than worth it. It's a glorious experience and is so worth the memories. Hands down, this was our family's favorite shore excursion. Hoonah Whale Tours delivered!
