We built Hoonah Off Ship to help cruise passengers find the local side of Hoonah before they ever step off the ship. Every so often, we come across someone doing similar work from the outside — writers, guides, and other independent voices covering this part of Alaska honestly. When we find one, we like to point our readers their way, and we're glad when they return the favor.
Here's who we're currently working with.

Your Alaskan Adventures
Run by Deborah Raarup, Your Alaskan Adventures follows a family's travels through Alaska, including a detailed guide to spending a full day at Icy Strait Point — both piers, the mountainside gondola, and the historic cannery, all from a visitor's own perspective. It's one of the more thorough outside accounts of the port we've come across, and we point our own readers to it from our Icy Strait Point guide.
