affordable best Boat Rentals hoonah alaska

Don't pay for an expensive whale watch and charter fishing when you can rent a boat and do the same for a fraction of the cost. Also avoid the crowded deck space keeping you from getting that once in a lifetime picture or being able to real in that trophy fish. If bear watching/wildlife viewing is your thing ask about our auto rentals. See the National Forest in all its splendor and take your time to watch the bears, deer and other animals doing what comes naturally undisturbed by the large groups of people crowded into Cruise Line Expensive Excursion.

Location

The Icy Strait Lodge is located in a very beautiful area of Hoonah overlooking Port Fredrick and operates year-round. The waterside of the lodge has a southern exposure where three waterways converge on a constantly changing "tidal flat" which combine to provide a remarkably beautiful and ever-changing panorama that can be viewed & enjoyed while seated in the restaurant, bar or from our back deck. The locations beauty and interaction with wildlife have led us to call the remarkable view from our back yard a "Nature Theater". We believe that this unique, serene and ever-changing view of the ocean showcases the magnificence of the ocean that comes like clockwork to our beach twice a day! It is a great place to unwind after a days adventure with one of our boat rentals, auto rentals or after spending the day site seeing around town.

About Hoonah

The Huna Tlingit people have lived in the Southeast Alaska archipelago for many hundreds of years. They originally occupied the area now known as Glacier Bay but were forced from their village more than two hundred years ago by advancing glaciers. In 1754, they chose to permanently settle twenty miles to the south where they subsistence-harvested each summer. The new settlement was referred to as Gaawt'ak.aan, or "village by the cliff." Later the name was changed to Xu.naa (Hoonah), "where the north wind doesn't blow."

The Hoonah Indian Association was chartered in 1939 as a Federally Recognized Tribe. The clan is the basic social unit within the Tlingit society. Its membership is comprised of individuals who trace their kinship through the maternal line.

A partial timeline of modern Hoonah history is below:

1754 - Huna Tlingit people established a permanent village in what is now present-day Hoonah.
1880 - The Northwest Trading Company built the first store in Hoonah.
1881 - The Presbyterian Home Mission and school were built.
1887 - 450 to 500 people were wintering in the village.
1901 - Hoonah post office was opened.
1912 - The Hoonah Packing Co. built a large cannery north of town. The cannery was shut down in 1953 and is now a tourist attraction called Icy Strait Point. The Thompson Fish Company, known as Hoonah Cold Storage, is still operating and freezes and ships salmon, crab, black cod and halibut.
1944 - June 14, 1944: A disastrous fire destroyed much of the town. Homes filled with ancient, priceless objects of Tlingit culture were lost to the flames. The federal government helped to rebuild by diverting to Hoonah World War II housing that was en route to Hawaii. These houses, located in the downtown area, are still called the "old war houses."
1946 - Hoonah was incorporated as a First Class City.
2004 - The first cruise ship arrived at Icy Strait Point.
Presently - more than 208 ships dock annually at Icy Strait Point during the months of May - October.

This has created an amazing opportunity for the adventuring tourist to take a once in a lifetime opportunity to get an auto rental to tour the island in comfort white getting to see the National Forest Lands & Animals uninhibited by other tourist. They also have the once in a lifetime chance to rent a boat for their own private whale watch and/or fishing trip without the expensive charter price.

For those that are less adventuress a great place to enjoy the view of Port Fredrick is right on the back deck while having a tasty meal at our restaurant & a cold drink from the bar.
