Creator's Key Takeaways

this is a great port to book an Excursion in fact some of my friends booked whale watching Excursion in icy straight point this time while I was here and they had probably the best experience ever whale watching today

I did not book an Excursion but if you do you will probably catch that Excursion at the Excursion Hub unless your directions tell you something different

little Gym's Donuts a must do in icy straight point when it opens

the gondola provides a peaceful Scenic ride through the woods and you can ride it as many times as you want to free of charge

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wear waterproof layers and hiking shoes for gravel pathways and potential rain
Use the free gondola to access the other dock area and avoid crowds
Visit Little Gym's Donuts for a must-try snack
Watch for bears on trails and follow no-smoking signs
