Is Icy Strait Point worth it on an Alaska cruise?
While sailing on the Norwegian Jade with Norwegian Cruise Line, we stopped in Icy Strait Point, located near the small Alaska town of Hoonah on Chichagof Island.
In this video, we share what the port is really like and our honest thoughts on the Mountaintop Forest Tram excursion.
What we did in Icy Strait Point:
– Gondola ride to the top of the mountain
– Mountaintop Forest Tram through Tongass National Forest
– Scenic coastal and forest views
– Lunch at the Crab House
– Wildlife spotting from our balcony later in the day
The views were beautiful and peaceful — but very mellow. If you’re looking for high-energy adventure or guaranteed wildlife, this may not be the excursion for you. If we were to return, we would likely explore independently or take a taxi into Hoonah for more of a local experience.
