Hoonah, home to the Huna Tlingit people for centuries, offers a fascinating glimpse into Alaska’s rich Indigenous history. The Huna Tlingit, originally from Glacier Bay, resettled in 1754 in what is now Hoonah, or “Xu.naa,” which means “where the north wind doesn’t blow.” Over the years, Hoonah has grown into a vibrant community with deep cultural roots and a resilient spirit.

Today, visitors can explore Icy Strait Point, a historic cannery and popular cruise ship port, where they can learn about the Tlingit heritage, witness the area’s natural beauty, and enjoy private adventures with Icy Strait Lodge’s car and boat rentals. From bear watching to self-guided saltwater fishing, the lodge provides unparalleled access to Hoonah’s stunning landscapes and wildlife. For those who prefer a relaxing visit, the lodge’s restaurant and bar offer cozy spots to enjoy sweeping views of Port Frederick and the tranquil setting of Alaska’s “village by the cliff.”
