Respectful whale watching from Hoonah (Alaska, USA)
We are a global environmental organisation dedicated to protecting cetaceans by listing eco-responsible and respectful whale watching operators.
Increase your chances of spotting cetaceans thanks to non-aggressive approaches by marine biologists and naturalist guides.
Animals that are not stressed are easier to observe, in a calm and respectful environment.
By observing whales and dolphins with operators approved by Shelltone Whale Project, you are helping to protect them at no extra cost to you.

"CHOOSE RESPECT »
A word from Pierre
We invite you to share in a family tradition and a unique Alaskan experience. For over 10,000 years, the Tlingit people have thrived on these lands and travelled the magnificent waterways of Southeast Alaska, sharing their traditions and guiding visitors through the beauty and majesty of Haa Aaní, their homeland. Experience the hospitality of the original inhabitants of Southeast Alaska.
Many of your hosts, the captains and crew, are descendants of the Hoonah Tlingit, the first people of south-east Alaska.
You'll sail through the waters of the Strait of Icy, home to a diverse array of wildlife, including orcas (killer whales), Steller sea lions, sea otters, harbour seals, Dall's porpoises and the magnificent humpback whale.
Keep an eye out for brown bears and Sitka black-tailed deer roaming the shoreline, as well as the noble bald eagle perched in the treetops. From the village of Hoonah to Point Adolphus, near Glacier Bay National Park, Icy Strait Whale Adventures will be delighted to show you the majestic beauty and culture of Alaska!
The Shelltone Whale Project's cetacean-watching charter is fully respected.
