Hoonah ATV Tours — Local services in Hoonah

We highly recommend Hoonah ATV tours for anyone considering this! We looked at ATV excursions through our cruise line. What they offered looked like a follow the leader situation and so do the Jeep tours. I found a video of someone on that ATV excursion and it confirmed that it was in fact a boring follow the leader situation.

Hoonah ATV Tours asks you what you would like to see, and they set up a GPS to take you there. You drive yourself and you can get out and walk around any time you choose. You have a set time you need to be back but can explore as you wish. We ran low on time and did not complete the route due to driving slower than we probably should have but we enjoyed it none the less.

We ran late due to not realizing how far of a walk it would be from the cruise dock. They still honored our reservation and offered to come find us but by the time we got cell service we were close to their location. We appreciated that they offered though, and that they were extra helpful! We found out afterwards that there is a shuttle from the port to the town and back that the drop off is right next to Hoonah ATV Tours.

Honnah ATV Tours took their time explaining everything and ensure you are comfortable before setting off. They provide bear spray and emergency location devices which helped us feel safe! We were not prepared and needed to buy water before we set off. They gave us extra time to go to the store and buy water.

The ATV ran great, and we enjoyed the freedom and quietness of this excursion. We only came across one other ATV while out on our tour! This was very nice because after so many places being cramped with people from the cruise lines it was nice to be alone with nature. The areas to explore that they recommended were great and we saw plenty of wildlife out and about! We have dear in our hometown but coming across one on the tour was still a great sight too! We have another cruise planned in the future and will definitely do this excursion again, and possibly go longer...

The Best & Most Authentic experience in Icy Strait Point! We are Alaskans and recently rented one of their side-by-sides while visiting. I can not think of a more authentic experience while in Icy Strait Point. Chichagof Island has an extensive network of remote gravel roads dating back to the logging days. These well maintained roads take you through GORGEOUS scenery in an area teeming with wildlife. The trip is self guided so you can go at your own pace and the rigs come with bear spray and a GPS so you can’t get lost and the GPS’ have waypoints with notable stops. In just a couple hours, we had several up close brown bear views, one of which lasted quite a long time before in disappeared into the forest. In addition to the bears, we saw amazing scenery and lots of bald eagles. Hoonah & Sitka are known for the best whale watching, but if you want to avoid the crowds while in Icy Strait Point, you should seriously consider renting one of these 2 or 4 person side-by-sides from this locally owned & operated business for a truly authentic experience to see the...

This is such a unique and fun experience especially that you are given a map on the GPS and you get to go all on your own tour.

It’s worth it to get the hour and a half because there’s so much to see and it’s so fun, we even saw a brown bear eating away at the tall grass down below a bridge. My entire family absolutely loved it and we highly suggest it! Make sure that you do NOT book from the cruise ships if you’re going in on a cruise and reach out to the company directly so that they can make more of a profit than the cruise ships do. (They make enough already and take a big profit from the business)

Don’t worry the bus that you can take in to the cityis a short walk through the port and costs two dollars And drops you off right in front of this beautiful cute yellow house where the rentals are.

Considering there’s not too much to do in this small town. This was an amazing way to spend the day in Alaska nature!

the owners were absolutely amazing and they have a...
