YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

We had a great time at Icy Strait Point (Hoonah, Alaska) on our Alaska Cruise to Alaska on the Crown Princess. We saw humpback whales bubble feeding, orca whales, bald eagles. We also did some hiking and had some great food. We used Glacier Wind Charters https://www.g-wind.com for our whale watching excursion and they were perfect. Smaller boat, about 12 passengers, hydrophone, great guide in Casey who was very knowledgeable and found the whales very quickly - we were still in view of the Crown Princess when we saw the bubble feeding humpback whale! We will have a comparison video out later to compare Juneau and Icy Strait Point whale watching. Both are fantastic locations. Choosing an Alaska Cruise.
