For over 10,000 years, the Tlingit people have thrived on these lands and plied the magnificent waterways of Southeast Alaska, sharing their traditions and guiding visitors through the beauty and majesty of Haa Aaní, their territory.
Discover the hospitality of the original inhabitants of Southeast Alaska.
Many of your hosts, captains and crew, are descendants of the Hoonah Tlingit, the original people of Southeast Alaska.
You'll cruise the waters of the Icy Strait, home to a diverse array of wildlife, including orcas (killer whales), Steller sea lions, sea otters, harbor 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.
