They love answering questions and this has been a business for over 30 years! And ever since trip they have done, they've always seen a whale. There has not been one trip in 31 years that anyone hasn't seen anything.

While on our Alaska cruise, we grabbed tickets for the Skypeak Gondola at Icy Strait Point--one of…read morethe stops on our itinerary. The gondola takes you from the cruise terminal all the way up to the top of Mount Hoonah, and the views along the way are absolutely stunning! You get sweeping panoramas of Icy Strait, Chichagof Island, and the surrounding waters. The cabins are spacious and have huge windows, so you get a full 360° view of the landscape. The ride itself is super smooth and relaxing, taking about 10-15 minutes to climb the 2,000 feet to the top. Each cabin fits around 6-8 people comfortably. Once you reach the summit, there's plenty to explore--an observation deck, hiking trails, outdoor restaurants, gift shops, and cozy coffee spots. It's a great place to hang out and soak in the scenery. Tickets were $49 for adults, which gave us unlimited rides for the day--same price as what the cruise charged. We really enjoyed it! The ride was peaceful, and the views both going up and coming down were just gorgeous.

Also a snack cart with s'mores kits ($14), beers, chips. There's a guided tour and then a trail you can do on your own. Wasn't worth the money to do this. Views are terrific but nothing else to do up there. Better off taking the green FREE one into the little town to shop and eat. Can also see some good views over there even though they aren't super high up.

She was very knowledgeable, delightful, insightful, and has found her calling as a guide. We saw incredible views, watched bears scoop huge salmon out of the water and eat it, and ended with a beautiful view of a large pod of whales breaching practically within touching distance. We just can't think of a better way to spend the day in Hoonah!

Capt Lucas kept us on top of the fish and moved spots when bites "went cold". In addition to Halibut (x5), we hooked up on Dusky Rockfish (x2) and Cod (x2). While catching fish, we enjoyed passing Humpback whales and got lucky enough to see a small pod of Orca passing thro Our boys (12yo and 8yo) thoroughly enjoyed it; very interested in picking up a fishing pole when we get home.

My Dad, Great-Uncle, sister and I have been fishing in Gustavus for halibut and salmon and we will only do so with Captain Mike each and every time. We would not have it any other way. He makes it all look so easy, and we have caught fish every single trip, without exception. You will get to see the most amazing wild-life, from bald eagles to Orcas, enjoy the fantastic scenery, and most importantly, catch a lot of fish, which is filleted, frozen and vacuum packed for you to take back on your flight home. It is everything you want to see in Alaska combined with sports fishing, with the nicest and funniest Captain at the helm who has made every trip an unforgettable one. You cannot go wrong.
