Creator's Key Takeaways

This place is so beautiful, man. We got to see a bubble feeding. There was a pack of about eight of them. It's just amazing.

Icy Strait Point has become one of our new favorite places to come. This will not be our last time here. This was an amazing day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Take the free green gondola to get to the excursion hub.
βœ“If you want to do the Sky Rider zipline, you must pay for the red Sky Glider gondola.
βœ“Try the halibut at The Cook House; it is 10 out of 10.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

Icy Strait Point is unlike anything we have experienced at a cruise port and we were not fully prepared for that. There is no town to wander into, no shopping district, and no taxi waiting at the dock β€” it is a privately developed destination sitting right in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness. We are walking you through exactly what is here, what we chose to do with our time, and whether it is worth getting off the ship for. If you have an Alaska cruise coming up and Icy Strait Point is on your itinerary this video will help you plan your time there.
