Icy Strait Whale Adventures - Guaranteed Whales!
A Family Tradition.
A Love for Community and Heritage.
We welcome you to share our family tradition, a uniquely Alaskan experience. For more than 10,000 years, the Tlingit people have thrived on these lands and navigated Southeast Alaska’s magnificent waterways, shared their traditions, and guided visitors throughout the beauty and majesty of Haa Aaní, our land. We look forward to showing you the hospitality of Southeast Alaska’s first people.
